The EHC will receive $2,300,000 from managed care companies and Medicare in three months, but the shortfall at the business must be resolved first. To achieve this, we must determine two cost cutting measures. A loan option must be identified as well. The cost cutting options we have at EHC are reducing benefits, reducing agency staff, downsizing staff, reducing length-of-stay, or changing the skill mix (University of Phoenix, 2015). To achieve a cost saving target of $750,000 for the first quarter the first cost cutting measure I selected is reducing a proportion of the agency contracted staff.

The forecasted ROI on the Stargazer project is $300,000 first year; $550,000 the second year; and $750,000 the third year. This product has an expected life of 7 years. Releasing this product will result in the company being seen as a leader in the industry. While there is not a critical path listed for the Stargazer project, I anticipate being able to complete the project within 12 months to ensure that the company is able to generate revenue on the schedule

What monthly profit would she realize with that level of business during the next 3 years? After 3 years? Molly’s costs do not change in the next 3 years, she can expect to see a monthly profit of $1,505 for the next three years. The answer was derived by using the following equation: 4,300 × (1.1 – $0.25) - $2,150 = $1,505. Once the new machinery is paid in full and Molly’s fixed costs return to $1,700 per month, her new monthly profit after 3 years will be $1,955.
