the 2022 financial year there were 6 unitholders.
The practice is open every weekday from 8am - 6pm and 8am - 12 noon on weekends. Not

The practice is a private billing practice.
Billing information:

Long consultation
In 2023 financial year there were 13 GP doctors, including the practice owners. This is the
same number of GPs as the 2022 financial year. Given annual leave, sick leave and study
leave the practice has the equivalent of 10 GPs working on average 30 hours per week and
50 weeks per year.
The "service fee" revenues are the amounts paid to the practice by the sole trader GPs (non-
owners) as a fee for using the facilities. To calculate total private billing the "service fees" in
the Unit Trust must be converted to billings for the practice. The current "service fee"
represents 40% of total billings for the non-owner doctors. This needs to grossed up to 100%
to calculate billing revenues for the contribution margin. The 60% of these service fee billings
that are paid to the non-owner doctors who provide the patient medical services will be
added back to the costs in the P&L to determine the contribution margin.
To calculate the number of each type of consultation, short medium and long that takes
place on average every hour of opening, please assume that on average one short and one
medium consultation takes place each doctor hour. You can calculate how many long
consultations take place on average per doctor hour using this information and the average
revenue per doctor hour. The "other revenue" and "government subsidies" are fixed amounts
and do not relate to the number and type of services provided and do not need to be
