PART 2

Question 1

Jacob Davis recently graduated from medical school. He is considering opening his own family practice doctor office. A doctors office is a high-fixed cost business, as it requires considerable expenditures for facilities, labor, and equipment, no matter how many families are served. Assume the annual fixed cost of operations is $400,000. Further assume that the only significant variable cost relates to patients served. An average patient served costs $250. Jacobs banker has asked a variety of questions in contemplation of providing a loan for this business.

Requirements:

• If the average family is charged $475 for services, how many families must be served to clear the break-even point?
• If the banker believes Jacob will only serve 1,000 families during the first year in business, how much will the business lose during its first year of operation?
• If Jacob believes his profits will be at least $100,000 during the first year, how much is he anticipating for total revenue?
• The banker has suggested that Jacob can reduce his fixed costs by $100,000 if he will not purchase certain equipment. Jacob can instead lease or rent this equipment as needed. The variable cost of leasing this equipment is $55 per family served. Will this suggestion help Jacob reach the break-even point sooner?

Question 2
