Assignment: Capital Budgeting And Projections

Perform an internet search for a current health care organization of your choice (preferably publicly traded for-profit organizations because these organizations must report all financial data and make it available to the public). In your search, select and evaluate the report of the financial information from the past 4 quarters or more. Complete the following for this assignment:

Predict the effect of changes in all financial metrics to changes in a proposed strategic plan in your chosen organization for the following 3 scenarios:
Payer mix changes from 50% Medicare and 5% Medicaid patients to 70% Medicare and 10% Medicaid patients in 1 year.
Professional turnover goes from 5% annually to 10% annually.
Demand for services increases 20% in 1 year
Search course materials including your text and the Internet for assistance in completing applicable financial calculations for this assignment.
Using the statements that you located, provide a financial plan that will do the following:
Create projected financial statements to analyze effects of alternate operating assumptions on the firm’s financial condition
Determine the projected financial requirements that will be needed to support each of the 3 sets of alternate operating instructions
Forecast the financial sources that might be needed to support your alternative assumptions
Assess the projected results using a financial condition analysis to the forecasted data
Provide appropriate spreadsheets such as Projected Income Statement and Projected Balance Sheets to validate your projected assumptions.
Consider the effect of the following factors to justify the changes that may be needed to the strategic plan as a result of your analysis:
Validity of data in the decision-making process
Revenue growth rate
Capacity
Rate of turnover
The body of the resultant paper should be 6 pages and should include at least 5 relevant academic or professional references published in the past 5 years.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
