\table[[CHECK-IN DAY,BEDS REQUIRED],[MONDAY,TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY,THURSDAY,FRIDAY,SATURDAY,SUNDAY],[Monday,30,30,30,,,,],[Tuesday,,30,30,30,,-,],[Wednesday,,,30,30,30,,],[Thursday,,,,30,30,30,],[Friday,,,,,,,],[\table[[Saturday],[Sunday]],30,30,,,,,30],[\table[[Sunday],[Total]],6060,9090,90,90,60,30,30]]
For example, the first row of the table shows that 30 people checked in on Monday and were in the hospital for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. By summing the columns of the table for Wednesday, we see that there are 90 patients staying in the hospital that day.
The medical facilities at Shouldice consist of five operating rooms, a patient recovery room, a laboratory, and six examination rooms. An operation at Shouldice Hospital is performed by one of the 12 full-time surgeons assisted by one of seven part-time assistant surgeons. Surgeons generally take about one hour to prepare for and perform each hernia operation.
Now look at the effect of increasing the number of beds by 50 percent. Although financial data are sketchy, an estimate from a construction company indicates that adding bed capacity would cost about $100,000 per bed. In addition, the rate charged for the hernia surgery varies between about $900 and $2,000(U.S. dollars), with an average rate of $1,300 per operation. The surgeons are paid a flat $600 per operation.
How many weeks would it take the hospital to pay back its investors?
