Case Assignment

Pearland Medical Center reported revenues of $1,500,000,000 in 2012 and $1,250,000,000 in 2013. The revenue streams comprised 25% patient self-pay revenue, 50% third-party payors revenue, and the remaining 25% was a combination of grants from the Grant Foundation and investments. The medical center spent $15,000,000 in marketing for each of the past two years. The average hospital daily patient census was 570 in 2012 and 470 patients in 2013; patient hospital days were 202,920 in 2012 and 171,500 in 2013.

Pearland Medical Center reported operating expenses of $500,000,000 in 2012; but due to layoffs and reorganization, operating expenses decreased by $200,000,000 in 2013. Depreciation expense was $50,000,000 in both years. The medical center spent $20,000,000 on research and education each year.

The nonprofit facility pays no shareholder dividends or taxes.
