Excess capacity decrease profits, with excess capacity each admission will contribute to the fixed costs, therefore the increase in utilization will decrease the profit loss associated with the using the total margin costs, if the excess capacity can be utilized. 7. Considering the long-term strategy, and the issues in Question 6, what is your recommendation for the Phase 4 hospital services price? Why? * In this case the total margin was changed to 90,000 a decrease of fixed costs would need to be created. Changing the amount of fixed costs into variable based on costs and utilization could result in possibly significantly negative issues to arise. * The best recommendation is to go with the total margin cost at the 60% fixed costs, as any the increase in fixed costs decrease the total margin costs and 60% currently already provides a loss. It is imperative to ensure that the payers will increase utilization at the facility and outlier payment agreements are contracted as well,
