University hospital has 750 beds one of its key performance


University Hospital has 750 beds. One of its key performance measures is “cost per occupied bed per day.” This number is computed by dividing total operating cost for a month by the total number of beds that were occupied each day during that month.

University Hospital’s average occupancy rate is 80% per month. At this level of occupancy, the hospital’s operating costs are $40 per occupied bed per day, assuming a 30-day month. This figure contains both variable and fixed cost elements.

During April, the hospital’s occupancy rate was only 60%. A total of $625,000 in operating cost was incurred during that month.

1. Compute the variable cost per occupied bed on a daily basis.

2. University Hospital expects its occupancy rate to be 75% in June. What amount of total operating cost should the hospital expect to incur?
