Compute the break-even point after the expansion as a


A hospital is currently operating at 100% capacity (that is, all beds are occupied). At current conditions, it is determined that the hospital would break even at 80% capacity, therefore, it is currently generating profits. The hospital is planning to increase the number of beds by 50%, and, while (average) costs and revenues per patient are not expected to change, fixed costs are expected to increase by 40%. Compute the break-even point after the expansion, as a percentage of the new (increased) number of beds. If the number of occupied beds does not change after the expansion is completed, will the hospital still generate profits, break even or lose money?
