SAMPLE COMMERCIAL CALCULATIONS/ANSWERS

1. Calculate the retail price on a prescription item (exclusive of additional professional fees, cost of the container, etc) if the item costs $3.50 and a 100% markup on the cost is desired.

cost = $3.50

$ 3.50 x 100% = $3.50, the amount of markup

$ 3.50 + $ 3.50 = $7.00, the retail

price Answer: $7.00

2. What percent of gross profit would be realized on the item in problem 1?

$ 3.50 (mark-up)

--------------------------- x 100% = 50% $7.00 (selling price)

Answer: 50%, the percent of the gross profit based on the selling price.

3. Calculate the selling price of an article which was bought at $6.00 per dozen, if the overhead was 25% of the gross sales and the new profit was 8% of the selling price.

12 articles cost $6.00

$6.00 divided by 12 = $0.50, cost of one article

100% = selling price

100% - { 25% (overhead) + 8% (net profit) } = cost

100% - 33% (gross profit) = 67%, the cost of the article

$0.50 = 67% of the selling

price X = 100% of the

selling price

21

Page 26: The University of Houston College of Pharmacy … · Apply the systems approach to medication safety activities to identify and report medication errors 6. Apply pharmacy ... community

67 X = 50

X = $0.746 or $0.75, the selling price of the

article Answer: $0.75, the selling price of the article

22

Page 27: The University of Houston College of Pharmacy … · Apply the systems approach to medication safety activities to identify and report medication errors 6. Apply pharmacy ... community

4. The gross sales of a store are $380,000 per year and the total overhead is $120,000. At what price must an article be sold if it costs $8.00 per dozen and the store is to make a 10% net profit?

12 articles cost $8.00

$8.00 divided by 12 = $0.67, the cost of one article

$120,000

-------------- x 100% = 31.5%, the overhead $380,000

31.5% (overhead) + 10% (net profit) = 41.5% markup or GP

100% (total sales) - 41.5% (gross profit) = 58.5%, the cost of the article based on

the selling price

Therefore: $0.67 (cost) ------------------ =

$1.14 58.5%

Answer: $1.14, the selling price of the article based on the given overhead, if a 10% net profit is to be realized

5. An order of toys cost $350.00 plus $20.00 freight. The selling price for the whole lot is $550.00, and other overhead expenses are 25% of sales. What percent net profit is realized?

Total costs = $350.00 + $20.00 = $370.00

Overhead = $550.00 x .25 = $137.50

Total expense = $370.00 + 137.50 = $507.50

$550.00 - $507.50 = $42.50

$42.50 ------------ X 100% = 7.73% $550.00

Answer: 7.73%

6. A solution manufacturer packs 6 bottles of the solution to each case. The bottles of solution cost the buyer $1.50 each, less a 40% trade discount. On the purchase of 48 cases or more, an additional 15% discount is given, plus a 2% cash discount. Calculate the buyer’s cost of 12 dozen cases of the merchandise, bought under the foregoing terms, if the freight on the shipment is prepaid.

12 dozen cases = 12 x 12 = 144 cases

144 x 6 (bottles/case) = 864 bottles bought 1 bottle costs $1.50 less a 40% trade discount

$1.50 x 0.40 = $0.60, the amount of trade discount on one bottle

$1.50 x 0.60 = $0.90, the cost per bottle less the trade discount

$0.90 x 0.15 = $0.135, the amount of the quantity discount

$0.90 - $0.135 = $0.765, the cost per bottle less the quantity discount

$0.765 x 0.02 = $0.0153, the amount of the cash disc.

$0.765 - $0.0153 = $0.75, the net cost per bottle

$0.75 x 864 bottles = $648.00, the net cost of the lot of

merchandise Answer: $648.00, the net cost of the lot of

merchandise

The QuEST/SCHOLAR-MAC process

Qu – Quickly and accurately assess the patient; ask about current complaint using the SCHOLAR process: • S – Symptoms – what are the main and associated/related symptoms?

• C – Characteristics – what are the symptoms like?

• H – History – what has been done so far? Has this ever happened before, and if so, what was done? What was successful, what wasn’t?

• O - Onset – when did this particular problem start?

• L – Location – where is the problem?

• A – Aggravating factors – what makes it worse?

• R – Remitting factors – what makes it better?

o Ask about other meds, products, OTCs, natural products

o Ask about coexisting conditions, allergies

E – Establish that the patient is an appropriate candidate for self-care. Use the following to guide your decision: • No severe symptoms (subjective assessment, but important)

• No symptoms that persist or return repeatedly

• No self-treating to avoid necessary medical care

S – Suggest appropriate self-care strategies

• Medications

• General care measures

T – Talk with the patient • Medication Action

• Administration

• Adverse effects and their management

Common Third-Party Terms

Capitation: Reimbursement to a provider based on a fixed dollar amount per month per member, rather than on individual fees for specific services. This method is used to pay for physician services and, often, prescription drugs in health maintenance organizations.

Cost-containment: A critical objective of all managed care programs. It manifests itself in many different ways- 'through incentives on the use of generic drugs, through formularies, through a cap on reimbursement for certain drugs, through preferred or exclusive provider contracts, through drug utilization review, and through other methods to control expenditures on products and services.

Diagnosis-related group: A classification system for hospital inpatients that groups patents according to principal diagnosis, presence of a surgical procedure, age, or complications, and other relevant criteria. DRGs are used mainly in Medicare and Medicaid pro- grams to determine reimbursement.

Drug utilization review: The continuing analysis of use and cost of drugs, from which patterns of prescribing, dispensing, and patient use can be determined. DUR is used to detect inappropriate prescribing and drug use.

Fee-for-service: A method of payment in which a charge is imposed for each service provided. Historically, this has been the way of paying for health-care services.

Generic substitution: The dispensing by a pharmacist of a generic drug in place of the brand-name entity prescribed. Every state now permits generic substitution under certain circumstances. Regulations vary considerably, however, from state to state.

Health maintenance organization: A prepaid healthcare plan that presents an organized, coordinated system of health care within a specific geographic area. The system provides a comprehensive set of basic and supplemental health services, including physicians, specialists, inpatient facilities, outpatient facilities, and, often, prescription drugs. Subscribers voluntarily enroll and prepay a fixed amount of money at regular intervals.

Independent practice association: A form of HMO in which physicians practice independently and see both HMO and non-HMO patients. As in other types of HMOs, patients receive services in exchange for a prepaid premium and possible nominal charges at the time of service. However, they see office-based physicians who generally practice medicine much as fee-for-service physicians do.

Managed care: A system for delivering health care that

MERCHANDISING GLOSSARY

combines the monitoring and management of services to obtain better results for the patient at lower cost. In managed care, providers must work within a system that holds them accountable to the plan in relation to costs and results for the patient. When talking about managed care, most people are referring to health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations.

Peer review committee: A committee of physicians within a health maintenance organization that reviews and establishes guidelines for capitation rates.

Pharmacy services administrative organization: Often the same as a preferred provider organization. a PSAO includes administrative services such as claims processing.

Preferred provider organization: An organization that contracts with payers and insurers to offer its services at substantial savings to enrollees of a plan. Payment rules offer incentives to patients to choose PPO providers over non-PPO providers, while participating providers often agree to utilization review and other measures to restrain cost. PPOs differ from HMOs in that they do not provide prepaid care but rather services at a negotiated fee.

Prepaid group practice: A form of HMO in which a group of practitioners work together under a single administrative entity. There are two varieties: the staff model, which hires its own salaried physicians, who usually treat only HMO patients; and the group model, which contracts with a group practice made up of physicians who continue to work in their own offices and service both HMO and non-HMO patients.

Therapeutic substitution: The practice whereby a pharmacist, with the physician's knowledge and approval, dispenses a chemical entity different from the one prescribed but in the same therapeutic class. Therapeutic substitution is common in HMOs, hospitals, and other institutions under guidelines agreed to by the institution.

Third-party prescription drug programs: A form of health-care delivery program that calls for some kind of insurance to reimburse a pharmacy for drugs dispensed. The programs can be either governmental or private. The primary government program is Medicaid. Several states also have programs to assist the low income elderly who do not qualify for Medicaid in paying for their drugs. In private third-party programs, the ultimate payers, for the most part, are companies - that is, employers - that often buy coverage from an insurer by paying premium.
