P4-6

Physicians practicing in Eastern University’s hospital have the following compensation agreement. Each

doctor bills the patient (or Blue Cross Blue Shield) for his or her services. The doctor pays for all direct

expenses incurred in the clinic, including nurses, medical malpractice insurance, secretaries, supplies,

and equipment. Each doctor has a stated salary target (e.g., $100,000). For patient fees collected over

the salary target, less expenses, the doctor retains 30 percent of the additional net fees. For example, if

$150,000 is billed and collected from patients, and expenses of $40,000 are paid, then the doctor retains

$3,000 of the excess net fees [30 percent of ($150,000 – $40,000 – $100,000)] and Eastern University

receives $7,000. If $120,000 of fees are collected and $40,000 of expenses are incurred, the physician’s

net cash flow is $80,000 and Eastern University receives none of the fees.

Required:

Question Description

Competency

Appraise the financial health and performance of a company.

Scenario

The Corporate Director of Acquisitions has approached you to assist with preparing financial data to help identify a potential new acquisition for your company. They have narrowed down the target to two companies and need your help in selecting the best one. You agree to help and think that the best approach would be to take the two companies and prepare a vertical and horizontal analysis of both the income statement and balance sheets for two years of data.

Instructions

You discuss your plan with the director, and you both decide that you should create an Excel file containing four tabs, labeling the four tabs as follows:

  • Tab1: “Income statement vertical analysis”
  • Tab 2: “Income statement horizontal”
  • Tab 3: “Balance sheet vertical analysis”
  • Tab 4: “Balance sheet horizontal analysis”

In addition, you both decide it best to also create a Word document with your assessment of each company’s performance and support which company is the better acquisition target.
