It is important that you cover all the topics identified in the assignment. Covering the topic does not mean mentioning the topic BUT presenting an explanation from the context of ethics and the readings for this class I am a stickler for good organization in everything. I do not want to have to dig for your answers. For instance, if an assignment asks you to provide three examples of something, I suggest that you number them 1-3 so I can find them easily. I also expect that when you submit something as a narrative, you pay attention to how you organize your thoughts: use paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences; and change paragraphs whenever you introduce a new idea. Also, if there are multiple parts to an assignment, use sub-heads within the paper to organize them. To get maximum points you need to follow the requirements listed for this assignments 1) look at the word/page limits 2) review and follow APA rules 3) create subheadings to identify the key sections you are presenting and 4) Free from typographical and sentence construction errors. REMEMBER IN APA FORMAT JOURNAL TITLES AND VOLUME NUMBERS ARE ITALICIZED.

This week we studied cost-volume-profit analysis and budgeting as means to evaluate performance and make decisions regarding pricing and cost control. Assume your nursing home defines output as a patient day. Its present volume is 26,000 patient days. The average cost per day is $90.00. Using the present revenues and costs presented below: What is the breakeven in patient days for this nursing home, assuming no profit is required? If volume goes up 10 percent to 28,600 patient days and payer mix is unchanged, what will net income be? What is the importance of determining cost behavior and identifying controllable costs in this type of break-even analysis. Discuss the concept of management control and how budgeting is used as part of management control? Be sure to use at least four sources and use APA format.
