Assignment: Using the details in the Case provided, please answer the following questions in
this document. If you want to use tables from a spreadsheet keep the destination style. Do not
paste as image or use scanned images.
Questions:
1. Franklin Health uses responsibility accounting and each physician is a revenue
centre. This implies each physician is expected to generate a specific level of
revenues. Discuss if creating a cost centre (each physician is responsible for
keeping costs below a certain level) would be a better approach.
2. Provide a variance analysis for the doctors in family practice and Internal
medicine. Make sure you include all factors that can influence differences between
the total revenue they were expected to generate and actually generated. Discuss.
3. Calculate the % deviation from the expected contribution for each department. Use
the YTD (year-to-date) budget for 2004-05 and the Prorated budget 2005-05.
After computing the differences in office hours, office visits and revenue generated in
May by Condit, Fuson, Prior and Record, we notice a global trend. For each provider, the
difference between expected and actual office hours in May is always negative. The same
conclusion can be drawn from office visits. Furthermore, the revenue generated by each
provider is also always negative, thus generating an average loss of $6,271.25.
