Answer:
Memorial Hospital
From the information on how much the hospital is losing on deliveries, the change in profit for each extra delivery is:
= 16.3%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average cost of deliveries = $5,000
Average revenue per delivery = $4,300 ($5,000 - $700)
Loss on each delivery = $700
The change in profit for each extra delivery is
= 16.3% ($700/$4,300 * 100)
b) The implication of the above information is that the hospital is losing 16.3% each time it performs a delivery because it cost it $5,000 while it can only receive $4,300 from each patient delivered.
