2. 2 Stonebrook Medical Center Stonebrook Medical Center is a for- profit medical facility that offers a wide range of health-care services.

3. 3 Stonebrook Medical Center A group of individuals with diverse backgrounds have been selected by an administrative leader to serve on a committee to improve the clinical and financial outcomes at Stonebrook.

4. 4 Stonebrook Medical Center Currently, the facility- wide-cost-to-charge ratio is 0.704 based on the following calculation: Total costs $88,000,000 Total charges $125,000,000 =

5. 5 Objective 1 Explain how costs are classified within service organizations. Once you have completed this chapter, you should be able to:

6. 6 Modern Cost Management Systems for Service Organizations A reciprocal service arrangement exists when support departments exchange services.

7. 7 Modern Cost Management Systems for Service Organizations Health-care cost systems commonly use either a step-down or a simultaneous algebraic equation method to allocate costs among support departments.

18. 18 Reciprocal Service Arrangement Environmental services = $300,000 + (0.05 x accounting) Accounting = $100,000 + (0.10 x environmental services) Step 1 Define the mathematical relationship. Environmental services = $300,000 + 0.05 ($100,000 + 0.10 x environmental services) Step 2 Substitute the mathematical definition of accounting.

19. 19 Reciprocal Service Arrangement Environmental services = $300,000 + $5,000 + (0.005 x environmental services) Step 3 Distribute 0.05 across both terms in parentheses. Environmental services – (0.005 x environmental services) = $300,000 + $5,000 Step 4 Subtract 0.005 x environmental services from each side of the equation.

20. 20 Reciprocal Service Arrangement Now, Accounting can be determined. 0.995 x environmental services = $305,000 Step 5 Combine terms. Environmental services = $306,533 Step 6 Divide each side of the equation by 0.995

21. 21 Reciprocal Service Arrangement Accounting = $100,000 + (0.10 x environmental services) Step 1 Define the mathematical relationship. Accounting = $100,000 + (0.10 x $306,533) Step 2 Substitute the value of Step 6 (Slide 19) into the accounting equation.

22. 22 Reciprocal Service Arrangement Accounting = $100,000 + $30,653 Step 3 Multiply terms within parentheses. Accounting = $130,653 Step 4 Combine terms.
