We plan to go over the quiz and I would like some more facts to be prepared to discuss it and fight for the points I feel I deserve.,Thank You, I get upset when I know I am right but my frustration doesn't allow me to explain it in the way that I am thinking!

Question 3
CASE 26 QUESTIONS JOHNSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Competing Technologies with Backfill 1. Explain the term backfill. 2. Consider the base case situation for the first system to be acquired. a. What are the net present values (NPVs) and internal rates of return (IRRs) of the two alternative technologies? What factor drives the financial superiority of the more profitable technology? b. What is the incremental NPV of solid-state versus water perfusion technology? What does the incremental NPV tell us? 3. Solid-state technology allows for expanded volume. Assess the sensitivity of the decision to the number of additional tests performed. To do this, assume that the number of additional tests could be as low as 50 or as high as 150. Also, what would be the result if no additional tests were performed? 4. Now consider the backfill assumption. Assess the sensitivity of the decision to the number of additional bed days. What if the number of additional bed days were as low as 80 or as high as 175? What if no additional bed days resulted from the backfill opportunity? What is the break-even number of bed days, that is, the number at which the hospital is indifferent between the two technologies? 5. Do the two systems have the same financial risk? (Put another way, are the cash flows being discounted equally risky?) If not, why? Modify your analysis to incorporate differential risk if you believe it exists. 6. What is your final recommendation regarding replacement of the first system? 7. Now consider the second proposed (water perfusion) system acquisition. a. Should this system be purchased? b. Explain why and how this analysis differs from the one conducted in question 2. Must Show All Work

Question 5
Bryan and Susie Cunningham have a 12-year old son Ronnie who is having difficulty in school. This is not the run-of-the mill difficulty, but severe learning problems attributable to brain dysfunctions linked to a childhood disease contracted when Ronnie was 6. While the disease has been cured, residual affects remain. Bryan and Susie have learned about a school in North Carolina that specializes in dealing with kids with severe, medically related, learning problems. The program offers individualized instruction accompanied by treatment of qualified psychiatrists and other medical professionals. Graduates of the program generally become more functional learners and able to assume reasonably normal lives. The cost of the program is about $28,000 per year, including $9,500 for room and board, and $1,500 for incidental living expenses. The program is customized for each child. Some of the kids achieve their goals by working primarily with educators while others require more direct intervention from medical personnel. The Cunninghams would like to have you to identify for them the various tax strategies available to them so that they can minimize the after-tax cost. They want to know whether the costs are deductible and whether there are any credits. Some scholarships are available. If they are unable to get a scholarship, they will have to borrow some of the money. The program is expected to last 2-3 years. Note: you must cite at least four cases or rulings that pertain to the tax issues, and carefully explain how the cases and/or rulings apply. (It is also suggested that you cite appropriate tax code and regulations, but those don?t count toward the four cites. IRS publications don?t count either).
