Grouping Expenses by Cost Center
The Metropolis Health System groups expenses for the Intensive Care Unit into its own cost center. Laboratory expenses and Laundry expenses are likewise grouped into their own cost centers.
Required
1. Set up a worksheet with individual columns across the top for the three cost centers: Intensive Care Unit, Laboratory, and Laundry.
2. Indicate the appropriate cost center for each of the following expenses:
• Drugs Requisitioned
• Pathology Supplies
• Detergents and Bleach
• Nursing Salaries
• Clerical Salaries
• Uniforms (for Laundry Aides)
• Repairs (parts for microscopes)
(Hint: One of the expenses will apply to more than one cost center.)
