See following formula that will be used to calculate for each answer (d) Solve for volume needed to break-even with additional labour (tech aide) cost Price x Volume + = Variable Cost per unit x Volume + Total Fixed Costs + Indirect Costs Desired Profit HCA105 Financial Practices for Health Care Organizations Section 5 - Calculating Return on Investment (R.O.I.) Northern Lights Hospital has built a new cardiac catheterization laboratory. The investment in this lab was $1,000,000 ($950,000 in equipment costs and $50,000 in installation costs) The desired return on investment (R.O.I.) is 12% 7,000 patients were served in the first year and charged $640. for each procedure Variable costs were $329. for each procedure Fixed costs for the lab were set at $2,000,000 Q: What was the lab's profit? Q: Did this profit meet the desired R.O...? Use the following formula to solve Revenues Profit R.O.I. Fixed Costs Variable Costs Initial Investment
