Required: Prepare your solution on the Part 1 Solution Worksheet. You must provide cell references to this worksheet to earn credit.

1. Prepare a contribution income statement for Pediatrics for the year ended June 30, 2018.

2. Calculate the number of patient-days that Pediatrics generated for the year ended June 30, 2018.

3. Compute the contribution margin per patient days generated for the year ended June 30, 2018.

4. Calculate the minimum number of patient-days required for Pediatrics to break even for the upcoming year June 30, 2019. Assume that revenue per patient-day, cost per patient-day,

cost per bed and salary rates for this upcoming year June 30, 2019, remain the same as for the year ended June 30, 2018.

5. Calculate the operating leverage ratio.

6. If demand for patient days are projected to increase from the 2018 current patient demand in 2019:

Calculate the increase in income using the operating leverage.

7. Prepare a contribution income statement showing the projected 2019 revenue and costs if the demand for patient days increases in 2019 to the projected increase stated in #6.

8. Using the profit for end of year June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019, prove that the change in income between the two years equals the percentage change in #6.

9. Recommend to Pediatrics what they should do as the operations grow and have the ability to exceed the current capacity limits that Helping Hospital has put on Pediatrics.

Include in your response on average how many beds Pediatrics is currently using and how much will this increase based on #6 projected increase in 2019.

Explain why the relevant range is important to know and understand and how it impacts your recommendation. Assume a 365 day year.
