Approaches to pricing policies and costing:• Absorption costing: recover the full cost based on the average cost,
overhead cost is apportioned, problem is in contractions activity must be the same as agreed,
• Marginal costing: recover on the variable cost, problematic if the large part is fixed cost,
• Target pricing: adding mark-ups, common in private sector, but in public the providers given incentives above that to keep the cost less than planned,
• Penetrating pricing: recovering the marginal cost, lead to maximizing the services demand, used in cost-leadership strategy to maximize the growth, problem in recovering the fixed cost,
• Price skimming: deliberately setting high process in monopoly situation,

Double entry system
• While liability is how assets were funded (sources), capital is fund of owners, assets = capital + liabilities (basic in double entry system);
• To ensure accuracy; debit should be equal to credit, this given in the trail balance,
![Page 22: Financial management for health managers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58e4a4d21a28abf5428b6c7d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

• It is the indication of fixed assets’ value diminution;
• In case of intangible assets it is called amortization;
• Useful economic life is the period over which the asset
will have some economic benefits;
• Residual value: is the value of the asset at the end of
economic life, and the net book value: is the original cost
of the asset minus the accumulated depreciation
![Page 25: Financial management for health managers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58e4a4d21a28abf5428b6c7d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

ability to meet the short-term obligations, known as solvency ratios,
![Page 30: Financial management for health managers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58e4a4d21a28abf5428b6c7d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Interpreting Financial StatementWorking capital ratio:• Know as current ratio, compare the current
assets (cash and short-tem assets) with (/) the current liabilities (payable in the near future),
• Recommended as 2:1 to survive but it depends on the kind of activities and when it is 1:1 there is concern about the ability,
• Compare it at different time period (different BSs) for trend analysis whether declining or increasing,
![Page 31: Financial management for health managers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58e4a4d21a28abf5428b6c7d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Liquidity Ration:
• known as acid-test ratio, also for short-term purposes, similar to the above but it exclude the stock from the current assets, it is more critical than the above as it consider the effect of the stock in hand on the cash flow,
![Page 32: Financial management for health managers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58e4a4d21a28abf5428b6c7d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
