Product costing and decision analysis for a service company Pleasant Stay Medical Inc. wishes to determine its product costs. Pleasant Stay offers a variety of medical procedures (operations) that are considered its "products." The overhead has been separated into three major activities. The annual estimated activity costs and activity bases follow: Activity Budgeted Activity Cost Activity Base Scheduling and admitting Housekeeping Nursing $432,000 4,212,000 5,376,000 Number of patients Number of patient days Weighted care unit Total costs $10,020,000 Total "patient days" are determined by multiplying the number of patients by the average length of stay in the hospital. A weighted care unit (wcu) is a measure of nursing effort used to care for patients. There were 192,000 weighted care units estimated for the year. In addition, Pleasant Stay estimated 6,000 patients and 27,000 patient days for the year. (The average patient is expected to have a a little more than a four-day stay in the hospital.) During a portion of the year, Pleasant Stay collected patient information for three selected procedures, as follows: Activity-Base Usage Procedure A Number of patients Average length of stay 280 6 days Patient days 1,680 Weighted care units 19,200 Procedure B Number of patients 650 Average length of stay x 5 days Patient days 3,250 Weighted care units 6,000
