Assignment Guidelines with Scoring Rubric
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to:
To provide learners with the opportunity to develop break-even-analysis skills.
Due Date: Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week 5
Total Points Possible: 100
REQUIREMENTS:
Answer the questions and complete the calculations required for the assignment.
Submit your answers on a Word document, with the heading of Week 5 Assignment. For the questions
requiring a written response, please adhere to proper grammar and syntax, and provide references. For the
questions requiring calculations, show all your work and follow the format that has been provided for the
calculations in the lesson for Week 5.
1. When performing calculations, standard rounding rules apply. If the number to the right of the
decimal is less than 5, round down to the nearest whole number, e.g., 33.4 = 33 If the number to the
right of the decimal is 5 or greater, round up to the nearest whole number, e.g. 33.5 =34.
2. Read the question carefully. Pay close attention to the units be asked and keep them consistent. For
example, hours vs FTEs; days vs months vs years.
3. Provide ALL formulas with references. Designate which formula associates with which source. It is
not sufficient to simply list the source at the beginning of the section. Write out the formula used
BEFORE filling in the numbers. Formulas used should be taken from one of the required
resources for this course.
Example: Total Contribution Margin (CM) = (CM) category 1 + CM cat 2 + CM 3

As part of the business plan, you and your partners will need to convince stakeholders that this new service
endeavor will be viable. They will want to know how many patients visits annually will need to occur and how
long it will take for the service to be at least cost neutral or profitable. To provide them with this information you
will perform a break-even analysis. Use the following data, conduct the analysis accounting for the contribution
margin of each patient acuity category.
Fixed Costs: $9,788,000 (start-costs, specialty physicians, anesthesiologists, APNs, staff
nurses and other staff salaries, specialty equipment, other miscellaneous)
Variable costs: $500/patient visit (specialty equipment, oxygen supplies, other
miscellaneous)
Clinic days: Monday-Saturday- 312 days/year
Projected patient visits per year: 7488
Patient charges by patient acuity category:
o Simple (15%)------------$2000/visit
o Moderate (60%)--------$6500/visit
o Complex (25%)---------$10,000/visit

1. Describe your approach to this case study. In addition to the numbers given, what do you need to know
before you can calculate the break-even analysis? Contribution margin, fixed cost, variable cost
2. Perform the calculations needed for the break-even analysis. Show your work, formulas used, and
reference the formula. When calculating the patient visits per day, round to the nearest whole. After
you’ve completed the calculations, record your results in the appropriate place in the table.
7488/312= 24, Simple 24x15%= 3.6/ 4 visit per day, Moderate 24x60%=14 visits per day, Complex
24/25%=6 visits per day.
