a. What is the fee schedule for these services, assuming that the goal is to cover only variable and direct fixed costs?
b. Assume that the audiology department is allocated $100,000 in total overhead by the clinic, and the department director has allocated $50,000 of this to the three services listed above. What is the fee schedule assuming that these overhead costs must be covered? (to answer this question, assume that the allocation of overhead costs to each service is made on the basic of number of visits.)
