Note: This figure has been ‘marked up’ by NIFS to reflect the firm’s cost of operating the hospital cafeteria.St. Joseph’s 250-bed facility operates throughout the year and typically has an average occupancy rate of 70%.Labor is the primary driver for variable overhead. If an outsourcing agreement is reached, hospital labor costs will drop by 90%. NIFS plans to use St. Joseph facilities for meal preparation.Cafeteria food sales are expected to increase by 15% because NIFS will offer an improved meal selection.Required:1.
