You are the business administrator for a small medical practice. You are planning staffing for your day surgery clinic. For the pre-op appointment, you have three options. You can use a Physician's Assistant (PA), a Registered Nurse (RN), or a Licenced Practical Nurse (LPN.) Each has a different legal scope of practice; that is, the part of the job they are legally allowed to do. A Medical Doctor (MD) has to review and/or do the part of the work that cannot be done by the type of Caregiver. You decide to treat the work done by the MD as a Variable Cost. The Annual wage and benefit costs are the Fixed costs. The cost information is found in the table below. You are expecting that you will see 1000 patients annually for the pre-op visit.

Caregiver	Fixed Cost (Annual)	Variable Cost (per patient)
PA	$100,000	$5.00
RN	$85,000	$15.00
LPN	$68,000	$35.00

Use the table to answer the questions below (1-4).

Please help! I will rate you highly and please show your work!

1a) Produce a crossover chart. This is the graph where you compare the cost of various process choices against the volume produced. The x-axis should have the number of charges. The y-axis should have the total cost. Each of the three options should be on the same graph. The graph should be scaled so it shows the lines cross.

1b) Provide an analysis of the graph.

2a) What is the Breakeven Volume between the PA (option 1) and RN (option 2)?

Express as a whole number.

2b) What is the Breakeven Volume between the RN (option 2) and the LPN (option 3)?
