Explanation / Answer

a) Patient visit breakeven price

Total revenues - Total costs = $0

Total revenues - Total variable costs - Direct Fixed Costs - Overhead

= (15000 * Price) - (15,000 * $8) - $6500,000 - $60,000 = $0

= (15,000 * Price) - $830,000 = $0

= 15,000 * Price = $830,000

   Price = $830,000/ 15,000

            = $55.33 aproxx

b) Breakeven to make the following profit:     $100,000

Visit Total Costs of (15,000 *55.33) = $830,000

Total costs + profit = Total Revenues

   830,000+100000 = 930,000

Price = $930,000 / 15,000 visits

        = $62 per viist
