You have been asked by management to explain the variances in costs under your inpatient capitated contract. The following data
is provided. Use the following data to calculate the variances.
Budget Actual
Inpatient Costs $12,568,500 $16,618,350
Members 42,000 42,000
Admission Rate 0.070 0.095
Case Mix Index 0.90 0.85
Cost per Case (CMI = 1.0) $4,750 $4,900
Problem 1: What dollar amount of the total variance is attributed to Enrollment Variance?
Problem 2: What dollar effect did the increased admission rate have on cost?
Problem 3: The intensity of care delivered dropped from a budgeted case mix of 0.90 to an actual case mix of 0.85. What dollar effect did this have on actual costs?
Problem 4: Costs per case increased to $4,900 from a budgeted value of $4,750. This increased actual total costs by what amount?
a) $400,000
b) $570,000
c) $970,000
d) $600,000
e) cannot calculate with given information

Amortizing a loan P over n periods at i% interest / period, the payment per period is given by:
In given situation,
P=20000
period=month
i=10%/12
n=5*12=60 months
A. monthly payment amount
to the nearest cent
B. EAR (effective annual rate)
the APR is 10%, but compounded monthly.
So
EAR=(1+i/12)^12-1
=(1+0.1/12)^12-1
=0.104713
=10.4713% (effective annual rate)
