I am working on a cost analysis and this is a completely fictional company but it needs to make sense in the end. Background: I have a cosmetic surgery practice and I am proposing to add on a mental health counseling center to help patients post operatively. I have come up with statistics but I'm not sure how to make the outcome realistic and make sense numerically so that I can implement. Here is my data and figures:

  • For the cosmetic surgery practice: one full time surgeon, with a median yearly salary of $251,650,
  • a full-time nurse practitioner (NP) earns $111,680,
  • two registered nurses (RN) earn $75,330
  • medical assistant (MA) for ill or vacation coverage earns $35,850
  • four supporting staff employees for the front desk and reception area, one of which is an office manager earns $25,000 and $59,980 respectively
  • (Each year, additional staff will be added as necessary based on needs. The practice will determine if an increase in staff is necessary for patient influx and revenue.)
  • For the counseling center, I propose two full-time psychiatrists $217,100 annually
  • one full-time NP-$111,680 annually
  • The counseling center will share the same RNs and office staff as cosmetic surgery office
  • A staffing agency for $11,500 yearly
  • The estimated growth of salaries for employees in the healthcare industry is approximately 3% a year
  • Additional costs will be for future hires in the instance more support is needed for the influx of patients such as a full-time nurse or another NP.
  • Basic cost of utilities is projected in increase over the next 5 years due to increase use and annual normal increases.
  • The overall cost of utilities will increase especially in the 4th and 5th year as the possibility of more staff and usage is set to increase.
  • Estimated that the around 10% of the annual revenue is based on the cosmetic surgery financial outline.
  • The present value based on the cost- benefit analysis total costs over the 5-year span is estimated at $ I don't know and that is using the discount rate of 11%
  • The benefit revenue is calculated based on the charged collected from each patient based on the projected average patient influx. The average patient daily census for an urgent care is about 10-15 patients a day.
  • The Cosmetic Surgery practice is estimating 20 patients a day, 5 days of the week with a weekly average of 490 patients treated at $135 per visit.
  • The first year of operation is estimated at $I don't know.
  • After final calculations, the net benefits is calculated by subtracting the present value of the total benefits by the present value of total costs, this number is estimated to $I don't know
  • This is what I want my end result to be: Based on the calculated positive net benefit, it's concluded that this mental health counseling center will produce viable income and makes economic sense.

Please help. Math isn't my strong suit.
