Dr. Cary proposes to expand the dental clinic by adding another examining station (purchase of equipment would be $30,000; expected life: 8 years) and hiring a full-time x-ray technician ($19,000). Additional variable costs per patient would be $2. This would allow the clinic to see 1,000 more patients per year. Charges would remain the same. A. Determine the break even point in new patient visits for the clinic as it is set up now. B. How much did the patients' visits contribute as "profit" to the dental clinic during the first year? (This might also be called a contribution to overhead expenses for the entire health department.) C. Determine the break even point in patient visits if Dr. Cary is able to implement the changes he wants to make. D. Assuming the dental clinic implements the plan and sees an additional 1,000 patients over current volume, how much will the clinic contribute to the health department's overhead? (DIVE tok P).
