The U.S. health care system has been historically resistant to change due to entrenched interests from <em>entrenched health system industries which have focused more on the question of “Who pays?” which makes sense from their point of view stating that corporations are legally obligated to protect investors’ interests</em>. Health care leaders together with policymakers over time have attempted several incremental fixes by; attacking fraud, enforcing practice guidelines, reducing errors, and trying to make patients better “consumers,” by implementing electronic medical records but none of these has had much impact.

ATech has fixed costs of $7 million and profits of $4 million. Its competitor, ZTech, is roughly the same size and this year ear

Triss [41]

Answer: Degree of Operating Leverage

A Tech = 2.75

Z Tech = 3

Explanation:

As defined in question itself,

Degree of Operating Leverage = $1 + \frac{fixed\ cost}{Profit}$

As here, it is provided that profit for both the companies are same amounting $4 million.

Although the fixed cost differ by $1 million.

A Tech Degree of operating Leverage = 1 + $\frac{7,000,000}{4,000,000}$ = 2.75

Z Tech Degree of Operating Leverage = 1 + $\frac{8,000,000}{4,000,000}$ = 3

This clearly demonstrates that A Tech will reach its break even faster than the Z Tech as the ratio of fixed cost to variable cost is lower in A tech in comparison to Z Tech.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $234,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (4,000 units) $ 240,000

Variable expenses 156,000

Fixed expenses 81,900

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, first, we need to determine the selling price and unitary variable cost:

Selling price= 240,000/4,000= $60

Unitary variable cost= 156,000/4,000= $39

Now, we can calculate the break-even point:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 81,900/ [(60 - 39) / 60]= $234,000

A firm has adopted a policy whereby it will not seek any additional external financing. Given this, what is the maximum growth r

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The maximum growth rate to my calculations is 8.32%, since it is closer to option E), I´d choose E) 8.37%

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the growth rate given all the info of the problem, we need to use the following formula.

$g=b*R$

Where:

g = growth rate

b=retention ratio

R = return on equity

Since R = Earnings / Equity, and our dividend payout ratio (equals to 1 - b)our fromula changes to:

$g=(1-Payout)*\frac{NetIncome}{Equity}$

So, everything should look like this:

$g=(1-0.25)*\frac{32,600}{294,000} =0.0832$

So, the growth rate is equal to 8.32% but this option is not available, therefore we´ll go for the closest one, that is E) 8.37%.

Best of luck.
