Healthcare Calculations
a) TVC
TVC=VCR×V
- Volume = 10,000 procedures
TVC = $15×10,000
= $150,000
- Volume=12,500 procedures
TVC = $15×12,500
= $187,500
- Volume=15,000 procedures
TVC = $15×15,000
= $225,000
b) TC
TC=TVC+FC
- Volume = 10,000 procedures
TC = $750,000 + $150,000
=$900,000
- Volume =12,500 procedures
TC = $750,000 + $187,500
= $937,500
- Volume =15,000 procedures
TC = $750,000 + $225,000
= $975,000
c). AVC
AVC= TC/V
- Volume = 10,000 procedures
AVC = $(900,000/10,000)
= $90
- Volume=12,500 procedures
AVC = $(937,500/12,500)
= $75
- Volume = 15,000 procedures
AVC = $(975,000/15,000)
= $65

Question
Use the information below to find the a) Total Variable Costs, b) The Total Costs, and c) the Average Costs for each volume given below.
Fixed costs = $750,000
Variable cost per procedure = $15
1) Volume = 10,000 procedures
2) Volume = 12,500 procedures
3) Volume = 15,000 procedures.
You must show your work, or you will not receive credit for this question. You can either type your response, attach a pic of your work, or complete it in MS Word or Excel and attach it.
VCR – Variable Cost Rate (what it costs for one test, visit, unit, etc.).
TC – Total Costs
UCS – Underlying Cost Structure
FC – Fixed Costs
TVC – Total Variable Costs (all variable costs. Not just one, as in the Variable Cost Rate (VCR)
AC – Average Cost
V – Volume
FORMULAS
To calculate the following, please use the formulas below. Remember, every problem you encounter in Chapter 4 can be found using the procedures below. For example, suppose you are given Total Variable Costs (TVC) but not the Variable Cost Rate (VCR). In that case, you can find the Variable Cost Rate (VCR) using the Total Variable Costs (TVC) formula below. Remember that you will always have all the necessary information, so reference this formula sheet for the problems given.
VCR = TVC/V
TC = FC + TVC
FC = Same as Total Fixed Costs. Add all Fixed Costs to arrive at FC (if necessary).
TVC = VCR x V
AC = TC/V
