In this case, the reader learns that liquidity is a better than average. The ratio and cash on hand have been better than 2013 from the past years. Moreover, it shows that the hospital has a higher ability to meet its cash obligation because it has more security compared to other hospitals. Funding allows hospitals to control funds and limit investments. Not-for-profit organizations help provide more services and margin of safety. Therefore, creditors look for a margin of safety so that the community that financed a small portion of total financing can be returned to the owners by leveraging. Capitalization ratio measures the funds that were borrowed and the assets that have been used. The coverage ratio measures the number that time they fixed financial charges.

Alpine Village Clinic is located in a winter resort near the city of Aspen, Colorado. Although open year around, it is mostly a seasonal business since the bulk of patients seen at the clinic walk in during the winter months of December to March, when skiing is in full swing and pertaining injuries are common. The doctors thought about closing the clinic during the summer months, however running the clinic for a portion of the year is inefficient, and in addition, there seems to be a sufficient summer demand for the clinic’s services. The two doctors who run the clinic are Dr. James Peterson, who is an orthopedist and Dr. Amanda Cook, who is an internist. Dr. Cook usually handles all the financial work for the clinic (besides payroll which is taken care of by an outside accountant). However, the clinic hired a part-time MBA student named Doug Washington. In October of 2009, the clinic’s primary lender, the First Bank of Aspen requested from the clinic an estimate of its borrowing requirements for the first half of 2010. For that, Dr. Cook asked Doug to come up with an estimate of the clinic’s line of credit, as well as prepare a cash budget.

Memorial Medical Center was situated “three feet below sea level, which is on one of the low points in the bowl in New Orleans (Fink, Sheri, 2009).” This hospital served as a “shelter whenever hurricanes threatened: employees would bring their families and pets, as well as coolers packed with food (Fink, Sheri, 2009).” Having 2,000 people taking shelter in this hospital on top of 200 patients, and over 600 workers in one place during a category 5 hurricane, ran a huge risk. This was not something that was assessed, because the author stated, “this is something that citizens who live around the hospital normally do during a crisis like this (Fink, Sheri, 2009).” I also do not think that individuals believed that Hurricane Katrina would have been as bad as it was, because this is the storm that is considered to be a “lesson learned (President George W. Bush, 2005)”.
