1. Non-personnel expenses: You have been tasked with computing baseline budget targets for the upcoming budget cycle. Using Table 12.2 as your starting point, make the following adjustments:
   (a)    Solar panels have been installed with an expected 5% decrease in utility cost, for a savings of about $7,611.
   (b)    The inspection program was started in FY 2014 and had funding for three fourths of the year. All of the start-up costs were incurred in FY 2014. The annualized value of the inspection supplies for the remaining one fourth of the year is $81,899.
   (c)    Inflation is expected to be 2% except for utilities, which will see no increase, and for leased space, which by contract will have a 3% inflationary increase.
   (d)    The number of service units will not change.
   (e)    All departments are expected to achieve a 1% improvement in efficiency on all lines of cost and in all programs.
   (f)    Budget baselines are not given out with cents, so round to the nearest dollar.
   
   4. The Syracuse Mobile Health Unit has the budget shown in Table 12.4:
   (a)    What is the base budget?
   (b)    What is the baseline budget for next year, assuming a 3% increase in NPS and a 4% increase in salaries?
   (c)    Now assume that there is another part-time nurse practitioner who earns $30,000 in the current fiscal year and that starting in the new fiscal year, this individual will be a full-time nurse practitioner with a starting salary of $60,000. What is the base budget? What is the baseline budget?
   
   Table 12.2 and Table 12.4 is in the attachment labeled Module 12
   
   
   When you are reading assignment 4 on page 121 be careful not to confuse Nurse Practitioner Salary (NPS) with Non Personnel Service (NPS). Also, remember you must calculate the baseline budget for the Part-Time Nurse Practitioner and then the baseline budget for the Full-Time NP.  Do not forget to calculate in the scheduled increases and show those increases in your calculations. 
   You should use this formatting:
   
   Nurse Practitioner Salary
   
   Driver and Health Aid Salaries
   
   Total Salaries
   
   Benefits @20%
   
   Total Personnel (salaries & benefits)
   
   Van Costs (gas/maintenance/insurance)
   
   Medical Supplies
   
   Total Non-Personnel Costs
   
   Total Expenses
   
   For problem 1 on page 120-121 remember to calculate in any anticipated inflationary increase before calculating in the efficiency factor of 1.01. 
   The format should look like this:
   
   General Supplies
   
   Utilities
   
   Leased Space
   
   Fuel
   
   Inspection Start-up Cost
   
   Inspection Supplies
   
   Total Non-Personnel Costs
   
   Remember in problem #1 there is an adjustment of $7,611; however, there is no inflation adjustment, just an efficiency adjustment. 
   
   For problem #4 when you are calculating the baseline for the budget with the additional full time nurse the salary is already set at $60,000 and you will not adjust it for an inflation increase. You will, however, adjust the another nurse position by 4%.
