How many patient days are available at Regis Place?
360 x 60 = 21,600 patient days
What is the overhead rate per patient day? (Round to the nearest dollar.)
$3,620,400 / 21,600 = $168
Using the individual cost drivers, what is the overhead rate for each type of cost? (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Assume a patient stayed at Regis Place for six days. The patient was in a single room & required 30 hrs. of physical therapy.
What overhead cost would be assigned to this patient under the current method of overhead allocation?
$168 x 6 days = $1,008
What cost would be assigned to this patient under the ABC method of overhead allocation?
Room $40 x 6 = $240
Laundary $7 x 6 = $42
Nursing $1,314,000x6/21,600 = $365
Physical Therapy $1,200 x 30 = $36,000
(check Rehb. hours 800 or 8,000)
General Services $32 x 6 = $192
Total $36,839
