Total variable costs $107,700.00 Contribution margin X X Less fixed costs $115,000.00 Operating income $77,300.00 Part III Determine the number of full-time employees needed to cover multiple shifts based on information provided within the following scenario: Health care is a critical field, and some agencies require that staff members be present at all times to ensure that there is adequate staff to care for the patients. For example, a medical center that has both inpatient and outpatient units will require staff be present after normal business hours to provide care to those admitted to the inpatient unit. It is also important to ensure that there is sufficient staff to provide care to the number of patients being treated. This is imperative to managers when it comes to determining costs associated with salary and benefits. If an organization is overscheduling staff, it could have a severe impact on the revenue because the staff-to-patient ratio would not be appropriate. You create the schedule for the nursing staff in the pediatric intensive-care unit. Your daily staffing uses 6 registered nurses (RNs) working 8 hours and 2 licensed practical nurses (LPNs) working 3 hours. Determine the number of work hours required for 1 day.

Solvency ratios tell whether the organization has the means to meet its long- term obligations. How solvent is the agency?
