Describe an investment decision you or your company has made. Compute the opportunity costs and benefits of the decision. Did your company make the right decision

See below

Explanation:

The investment decision I made was to put my money in money market - Mutual funds. Although the rate varies, yet I decided to investment in it due to the security attached to this kind of investment and the guaranteed returns.

The opportunity cost is that I gave up investing my funds in a fixed deposit instead, opt for investing in mutual funds. Here, the opportunity cost is the fixed deposit investment and the returns therein. The benefit of mutual fund investment is that I would be entitled to a quarterly interest(earned) as specified in my initial application.

I did make the right decision in that at least I am entitled to a quarterly interest even though I would also get interest if the fund was invested in fixed deposit but the interest due to me in my mutual funds investment is a little higher than the fixed deposit.

The oversupply of hospitals and in-patient beds in the U.S. produced by the Hill-Burton legislation is the result of:

E. A and C

(A. The advent of managed care and C. Technological advances).

Explanation:

Affordable Care Act produced a managed care system that aligns financial incentives to better care at lower costs.  This has eliminated the need for in-patient admissions.  This is because the Affordable Care Act also created Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) which in turn are focused on boosting preventive efforts in order to attain quality goals.  With preventive healthcare, there is reduced need for in-patient admissions to utilize the hospital beds.

Another factor that has reduced in-patient admissions is the prevailing technological advances, especially in the areas of telehealth and telemedicine.  These have also drastically reduced the need for in-patients at hospitals, thus freeing more hospital beds as patients can now receive healthcare services from even remote locations.
