CASE7 CASCADES MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC Variance Analysis This case illustrates the use of variance analysis on a mental health provider's four product lines. There is a large amount of input data required by the model. Also, because the model's output cannot be easily summarized, there is no KEY OUTPUT section. The model consists of a complete base case analysis--no changes need to be made to the existing MODEL-GENERATED DATA section. However, all values in the student version INPUT DATA section have been replaced with zeros. Thus, students must determine the appropriate input values and enter them into the model. These cells are colored red. When this is done, any error cells will be corrected and the base case solution will appear. Furthermore, students will have to create any graphical output needed in the case. Note that all variances have been defined in the model so that negative values are bad. Also, note that there are a variety of variance definitions that can be applied, as well as a variety of approaches to variance analysis. This model uses only one approach; the one suggested by Exhibit 7.5 in the case.

Question 1
For the year 2013, the aggregate variance amounted to -$329,366. This indicates that is an
unfavorable variance of 79%. The given results should deeply concern the hospital as the
given variance is very large and clearly refl
ect the serious lapses in the budgeting and control.
It is imperative that rectifying measures need to be undertaken to improve estimation of
expected figures and also operations.
Question 2
The total variance in profit for the various product lines is reflected as indicated below.
It is evident from the above that the managed care provided has faced immense difficulties
for controlling Medicare reimbursement which is reflected in more than 200% unfavorable
variance. The minimum unfavorable variance has been suffered by commercial patients of
Pacific Care as it amounts to 26%. In comparison, the commercial patients of Stealth Health
have an unfavorable variance of 132%. This clearly indicates that there is a need to improve
the overall budgeting by the concerned institutions in order to prevent these huge variations.
Question 3
The requisite variances are indicated below.
Revenue Variance Analysis
With regards to revenue, it is apparent that except commercial patients for Pacific Care, all
the other segments have favorable variances which augers well for the future revenue
projections. The generation of higher Medicare revenues is positive for the industry as the
underlying cost associated with serving this has gone up in the recent years. The aggregate
revenue realized was 2% higher than the corresponding budgeted value which reflects an
outperformance in revenue terms.
Cost Variance Analysis
Clearly, the cost variances are unfavorable and significantly higher than revenue variances
leading to unfavorable profit variances. This is especially true for Seattle Health and it is
imperative that the organization improves the service cost production in 2014 so as to ensure
lower variances and higher overall efficiency in service delivery.
Question 4
The requisite variances are indicated below.
With regards to enrollments, it is apparent that the superior performance of Pacific Care was
a critical blow to Seattle Health especially in the commercial patient segment. For Pacific
Care, 2,536,028 enrollments were seen higher than forecasted in the commercial division
which requires that that in...
