Mount Eagle Hospital (MEH) as a hospital that serving the community must provide services that serving the needs of the public in terms of quality and price. The SSH offers a wide range of services, namely: Inpatient Services, Emergency Room, Specialist Polyclinic, Medical Check Up, Central Surgery, Maternity Rooms, etc.

MEH providing inpatient services for patients who require intensive care to make it easier to observe the patient's health development on an ongoing basis. Inpatient services at the MEH are one of the largest sources of income from other health services offered by the hospital, but in determining the price of inpatient services at the MEH still use traditional methods, whereas in determining the price it is essentials for the hospital to know the amount each cost used. This can cause the imposition of specified inpatient services charges to be cheaper (undercosting) or more expensive (overcosting) of the costs that should be consumed in the inpatient services.

The tariff that is too high will harm the hospital service users, especially the weak economic community because of the inability to pay the amount of the hospital bill, eventually it also harms the hospital by increasing the number of receivables. A tariff that is too low will harm the hospital because of the hospital's inability to cover the costs incurred in producing a unit or service package. The tariff for inpatient unit at MEH are explained in Table 1.

Calculation of the cost of inpatient service is very important because it relates to the problem of determining the unit cost of inpatient service, which will ultimately affect the determination of the selling price or inpatient price, thereby producing a surplus or deficit in percent of the same magnitude for each bed of each class so that management of the hospital does not know the actual profit or loss, whereas to know the actual profit or loss, MEH need to determine the inpatient price accurately. Thus, they should calculate unit cost accurately.

In order to help management of MEH to provide accurate unit cost which eventually affect the pricing, the calculation of unit cost using other methods is used so it can be a consideration for making decisions in the future. Other method used to calculate unit cost is the Activity Based Costing (ABC) method. Management also wants to know the minimum tariff per day using ABC method because ABC claimed if this method in practice is more profitable than traditional cost systems, representing a more rigorous application by tracking other costs that can actually be tracked, not only for expenditure units but for activities desired to produce output. The hospital has many activities which are the basis for using the calculation of cost services using Activity Based Costing method (Table 2 and 3). The business department involved consists of the service department, general department and administrative department, there is no production department. SSH determines 4 activity cost pools, namely customer orders, product services, order size and organization facilities (Table 4). The characteristic of class room type as cost object at SSH shown in Table 5. Distribution of annual variabel cost to cost object shown in Table 6. You as a management consultant are asked to determine the cost, product margin and tariff for each class using the ABC method.

Instruction: 1. Assign overhead costs to activity cost pools by business department. Distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools determined by yourself based on logical and rational considerations. 2. Calculate activity rates. 3. Assign overhead costs to cost objects using the activity rates and activity measures. 4. Prepare management reports. 5. What is the minimum tariff that must be set for each type of classroom based on the ABC method ? 6. Which types of classrooms are the most profitable and less profitable ? Why did this happen ? Explain. 7. What is your recommendation related to less profitable segments to be more profitable?
