Description
CASE DESCRIPTION The primary subject matter of this case is a capital budgeting decision. Capital budgeting issues are appropriately discussed in accounting and/or finance disciplines, as well as healthcare management courses. The case and teaching note support the discussion and analysis of several secondary issues, in addition to the quantitative and qualitative factors incorporated in capital budgeting decisions. These issues include, but are not limited to, ethical issues, government policy practices, and sensitivity analysis. The quantitative analysis requires the student to demonstrate an understanding of the complexity that may be involved in determining relevant factors included in a capital budgeting decision, as contrasted with the simplicity of most textbook capital budgeting problems. The case is appropriate for use in junior level classes (level three) and above. There is a great deal of flexibility incorporated in the case, dependent on the instructor's desire to pursue, or not pursue, discussion of the secondary issues. This flexibility makes the case suitable for advanced analysis and discussions at higher course levels, up to and including first year graduate levels (level five). The number of class hours required to teach the case is dependent on the depth explored by the individual professor. However, class hours would be expected to range from one to two hours; preferably over two class meetings. Preparation hours required of the student are expected to average two to four hours.
