Pneumonia can develop as a secondary infection from the flu. It is diagnosed via bronchoscopes and is treated with antibiotics and nebulizer therapy.

a. ATH sees a large number of elderly patients prone to pneumonia. The revenue they generate in a year is $30,000. ATH purchased ten additional bronchoscopes that allowed for more billable diagnoses that created an additional $10,000 in revenue. Bronchoscopes cost $1000. Calculate the potential benefit cost of each additional bronchoscope ATH might purchase given the history with the equipment.

b. Nebulizer units cost $320. Patients are having to wait for treatment, heading to other facilities. Utilize the figures I gave you in 3a to do a benefit on 10 more nebulizer units.

c. Make an argument for purchasing the new nebulizers. Use the information from 3a and 3b to make this argument. Tell me why you need them, explain what happened with the bronchoscopes and their benefit cost ratio, explain the benefit cost of the new units. I want to see the figures you generated in your analysis. You should be able to do this in a paragraph. Nothing lengthy is required. I just want to see you connect the dots of your assignment.
