This week you will begin working on creating a Business Plan for a new health care organization. The work that you do for your original discussion board post will help you with the framework of your upcoming written assignment.  However, what you post to the discussion board is just a framework.  When you write your written assignment, you will need to expand on these ideas.  To make the upcoming written assignment easier, I strongly suggest that you select a business that is easily explained and small in size. 
For your original post, please provide the following information about your new health care business:
Name and location
Services offered, including an explanation of what makes your organization special or unique
Number and types of key staff members.  Depending on your business, this might include, managers, medical assistants, psychologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, etc.
How many patients you plan to see in the first year — and — your anticipated revenue per patient visit.  This will require researching similar organizations. Be sure to provide your references.
A list of annual operating expenses that you anticipate (type and $ amount).  Remember, in an operating budget you do not include the cost of purchasing furniture or major equipment.
Requirement:  One original post (200 word minimum).

Kenneth Brown is the principal owner of Brown Oil, Inc. After quitting his unive

Kenneth Brown is the principal owner of Brown Oil, Inc. After quitting his university teaching job, Ken has been able to increase his annual salary by a factor of over 100. At the present time, Ken is forced to consider purchasing some more equipment for Brown Oil because of competition. His alternatives are shown in the following table:
Equipment
Favorable Market ($)
with probability 70%
Unfavorable Market ($)
with probability 30%
Sub 100300,000–200,000Oiler J250,000–100,000Texan75,000–18,000
For example, if Ken purchases a Sub 100 and if there is a favorable market, he will realize a profit of $300,000. On the other hand, if the market is unfavorable, Ken will suffer a loss of $200,000. But Ken has always been a very optimistic decision maker.

Megley Cheese Company is a small manufacturer of several different cheese products. One of the products is a cheese spread that is sold to retail outlets. Jason Megley must decide how many cases of cheese spread to manufacture each month. The probability that the demand will be six cases is 0.1, for 7 cases is 0.3, for 8 cases is 0.5, and for 9 cases is 0.1. The cost of every case is $45, and the price that Jason gets for each case is $95. Unfortunately, any cases not sold by the end of the month are of no value, due to spoilage.
Hint: You need to fill in the following table and be careful with the waste whenever production exceeds consumption or the forgone revenue if supply/production falls short of demand.

A group of medical professionals is considering the construction of a private clinic. If the medical demand is high (i.e., there is a favorable market for the clinic), the physicians could realize a net profit of $100,000. If the market is not favorable, they could lose $40,000. Of course, they don’t have to proceed at all, in which case there is no cost. In the absence of any market data, the best the physicians can guess is that there is a 50–50 chance the clinic will be successful.
