homeless and indigent patients

/in /by

Columbia Needycare is a clinic in south Florida that provides basic medical care for homeless and indigent patients. The clinic is a nonprofit organization that receives revenue from however much patients can pay at the time of their visit. These revenues totaled $5 million in 2017. The clinic’s expenses, other than its depreciation, totaled 70% of its revenues. The depreciation expenses were $1 million. Other than depreciation, the clinic pays all of its expenses with cash because all of its revenues are collected in cash. Based on this information, complete the following items for Part I of the case study.

Develop an income statement for Columbia Needycare for 2017.

Calculate the total profit margin and net income for the clinic.

Explain the difference between gross income and net income.

For Part II of this case study, suppose that the clinic has an opportunity to purchase an additional building in another part of the city to help more patients. The new building will cost $480,000, but it will also need $35,000 in renovations. Based on this information, answer the following questions:

Can the clinic afford to purchase and renovate the new facility?

Do you have enough information to make this decision? If so, how would you recommend that the clinic handle the financing for purchasing and renovating the facility? If no, what additional information would clinic managers need to make this decision?

Combine both parts of the case study in one document. Your case study must be at least two pages in length and use APA format. Be sure to include a separate title page and reference page. You are required to use at least your textbook for the assignment. You must cite and reference your textbook and any other sources used.

Milestone 3: Research Method Part 2

Work with your dissertation chair to determine any specific instructions or guidance that he or she may have for you.

For this task, you will continue building your research methods chapter (Chapter 3) for your dissertation. The Dissertation Proposal Template for BUS8105 will help you address the needed items for your methods section. However, different designs require different components. Be sure to work with your dissertation chair to determine what adjustments may be needed.

You will add to the work you completed in Milestone 2: Research Methods Part 1. Make adjustments to part 1 on the basis of feedback from your dissertation chair.

Then, add part 2 of the methods chapter, including:

  • Instrumentation
  • Research procedures

Important Note: Dissertation writing is highly recursive. As you write material in one section, you may need to make some adjustments or additions in other sections in order to build a cohesive document. For example, your selection of instrumentation and research procedures will likely create some changes for your Chapter 1. As you wait for feedback from your dissertation chair/committee, use the time to draft some of those adjustments.

Submission Details:

  • Submit parts 1 and 2 of the methods section, including appropriate documentation to support your choices.
  • Use APA style in preparing your paper and citing references.
  • Post the paper to the Milestone 3 Submissions Area.
  • Notify your dissertation chair (e.g., via e-mail) when you have submitted the topic paper.

Note: A successful dissertation requires self-directed behaviors. To successfully pass each dissertation course, you must successfully complete (pass) each milestone presented in the course materials. Additionally, you must complete the milestones in the order they are presented in the course. The tasks in some milestones may take you more than a week to complete. Finish each milestone before you move on to the next milestone. In your planning, also allow time for feedback from your dissertation chair/committee and revisions as part of completing each task.
