Novello Medical Center has a single operating room that is used by local physicians to perform surgical procedures. The cost of using the operating room is accumulated by each patient procedure and includes the direct materials costs (drugs and medical devices), hysician surgical time, and operating room overhead. On January 1 of the current year, the annual operating room overhead is estimated to be:

Disposable supplies .......................... $275,600

Depreciation expense ........................... 82,000

Utilities .................................................... 45,700

Nurse salaries ...................................... 329,900

Technician wages ................................ 218,800

Total operating room overhead ...... $952,000

The overhead costs will be assigned to procedures based on the number of surgical room hours. Novello Medical Center expects to use the operating room an average of eight hours per day, seven days per week. In addition, the operating room will be shut down two weeks per year for general repairs.
