Question

the admitting department at Kriz hospital processed 1,000 patients last month. a total of 2,500 admitting personnel hours were consumed in processing the patients. The cost of the admitting dept. were $50,000. What are 2 possible allocation bases and rates?

Answer 1

YOu can allocate it per patient, or per hour.

I suspect that the admission dept spent money on labor whether or not there were patients. Was there cost different on different days of patient load?

Answer 2

This is the only information given so I am assuming there were no cost differences. I so need your help!
