 Analyze the scenario below and create a budget using steps 14-17

Analyze the scenario below and create a budget using steps 14-17 in the budgeting process. The ICU department is working on a budget for percutaneous tracheostomy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube, and inferior vena cava filter. This year the department saw 1,500 admissions for procedures, which were analyzed as follows: 60 percent of the admissions were in need of percutaneous tracheostomy (which takes 20 minutes), 20 percent were admitted in need of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube (which takes 15 minutes), and 20 percent were admitted in need of a inferior vena cava filter (which takes 30 minutes). The budget committee is projecting a 4.5 percent increase in these procedures for next year, analyzed in the same proportions. The controller states that the charges for a percutaneous tracheostomy will be $105, for a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube will be $285, and for an inferior vena cava filter $485. The controller also projects that payer analysis for the procedures to be 45 percent Medicare (Procedure rate is 80 percent of charges), 35 percent Medicaid (Procedure rate is 85 percent of charges), 15 percent managed care (discount is 30 percent of charges), 5 percent self-pay (self-pay patients will pat full charges, but 10 percent of self-pay patients don't pay their bills and their fees are recorded as charity care). These procedures account for 25 percent of the ICU department's labor, supply, and overhead expenses. The department's labor expenses are $315,000 - labor expenses are expected to increase 7 percent nest year. The department's nonlabor expenses are $225,000 - nonlabor expenses are expected to increase 5 percent next year due to inflation. The department's overhead expenses are $450,000 - overhead expenses are not expected to increase next year. Using the budgeting steps, calculate the volumes, collected revenues, expenses, and adjustments for these procedures in the ICU department
