EXHIBIT 12.11 BASIC STATISTICS FOR COST ALLOCATION IN A SURGERY CLINIC USED IN PROBLEM 12.11

A (Square Feet) B (Dept. Costs) C (Lab Tests)
Utilities $500,000
Administration 5,000 $800,000
Laboratory 3,000 $850,000
Day-Op Suite 5,000 $3,500,000 7,000
Cytoscopy 3,000 $675,000 3,000
Endoscopy 2,000 $400,000 2,500
Total 18,000 $6,725,000 12,500

Bobbie Jones, the manager of the endoscopy suite, is concerned about adding more space. She contends that if the cystoscopy and endoscopy units were combined, fewer staff would be needed, and direct costs could be reduced by $50,000 ($25,000 in each unit). She also feels that the day-op area is underutilized, and the 500 square feet could be used by a combined unit when excess capacity was needed. Assuming that the 500 square feet were to be allocated equally between the endoscopy and cystoscopy suites, what would the total allocated costs for each of these two services be under this scenario?
