The proposed volume for the new budget period is $9,400,000, where this money is
expected to be spent on various projects of the hospital, as clearly stated in the budget above.
The inflow (revenues) of the Hospital for the considered period of one year is
$10,850,000, while the outflow (cost of services/items delivered) is $9,400,000. The appropriate
relationship between the inflow and the outflow is that the inflows are higher or more than the
outflows. Normally, for any medical organization or any other kind of organization to run
smoothly and profitably, the cash inflows must be higher than the cash outflows (Dickinson,
2011). This is the relationship between the inflows and the outflows in our hospital of
consideration, which shows the hospital is running profitably. If, by any chance this condition is
not met, where it happens that the outflows are less than the inflows, the organizations make
losses and end up collapsing and closing.
How the appropriate dollar cost will be
The appropriate dollar cost is likely to appreciate or increase with time for the considered
budget period. Firstly, considering the service-related workload, this workload is expected to
increase as the number of patients is expected to grow or increase in the considered budget
period. Also, the non-service workload is expected to increase in the considered budget time as
the hospital is growing and expanding with time. The hospital is also expected to undertake
many new projects in the next one year, and so, the special project workload is also expected to
increase in the budget period. In the next one year whose budget is presented, the proportionate
share of interdepartmental projects is expected to be increased as there will be many new
projects expected to be implemented to enhance the services and the overall performance of the
company. All these positive changes in the organization are likely to increase the appropriate
dollar cost.

The many new projects to be implemented by the hospital require additional resources,
and it’s expected these resources will be available since the hospital will liaise with its
stakeholders, the government, different sponsors, and other well-wishers to get all the required
resources to accomplish all its projects and meet its other objectives. The proposed budget given
above will accomplish the appropriate managerial objectives for the organization/hospital. The
budget was prepared after considering all the major managerial objectives of the considered
organization/hospital, and so, it’s enough to accomplish all the objectives.
