The fastfood industry in the United States has typically used drive-through windows to increase profitability. With 65% of fastfood revenue derived from drive-through windows. These windows have become the focal point for market share competition among fastfood outlets such as Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Arby's and Taco Bell. Even chains that did not use drive-through windows in the past, such as Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts have added them to their stores. Production technology changes have included the use of separate kitchens for the drive-through window, timers to monitor the seconds it takes a customer to move from the menu board to the pick-up window, kitchen redesign to minimize unnecessary movement, and scanners that send customers a monthly bill rather than having pay at each visit.

Sam is a new Nurse Practitioner (NP) in an independent physician-owned primary care office located in a small community. He loves working with the patients and gets along very well with his coworkers. Normally, Sam will see a patient on his own, or with a female nurse, if the patient is female. However, Sam recently noticed that his time with a patient was coded and billed to Medicare as one of the physician’s time. He recalled the legal course in nursing school about Medicare and knew that NP’s time is reimbursed at 80% of the actual charge or at 85% of the physician’s fee schedule amount, whichever is the lesser. He also remembered that the physician he was billed under was not in the office that day. Being concerned, he reviewed some additional records and discovered almost all of his time was coded and billed to Medicare as one of the physician’s time. When he questioned the billing clerk about the coding, her reply was “the Physician Assistant’s and NP’s time are always coded that…

Salt & Pepper & Co (Salt & Pepper) is a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants which has seen its revenue decline steadily over the past few years. The firm is looking to increase its revenue and client base and so has developed a new advertising strategywhere it has guaranteed that its audits will minimise disruption to companies as they will not last longer than two weeks. In addition, Salt & Pepper has offered all new audit clients a free accounts preparation service for the first year of the engagement, as it is believed that time spent on the audit will be reduced if the firm has produced the financial statements. The firm is seeking to reduce audit costs and has therefore decided not to update the engagement letters of existing clients, on the basis that these letters do not tend to change much on a yearly basis. One of Salt & Pepper’s existing clients has proposed that this year’s audit fee should be based on a percentage of their final pre-tax profit. The…
