a. How many employees by type does the clinic currently need?
b. How many employees by type will the clinic need if it signs the contract for pre-employment physicals?
c. If return visits shift to 10% of all regular visits, how many employees by type will the clinic need with and without the contract for pre-employment physicals?
d. How will the answers to "b" and "c" change if the number of physicals is modified to 35 pre-employment physicals per week? Throughout these analyses, specify all assumptions, including assumptions concerning worker productivity.
