Question: Scenario: 1. Mimi is the healthcare manager at a physical rehabilitation facility that has recently expanded its facilities to accommodate more patients. At the annual budgeting meeting, Mimi suggests the organization continue using a fixed budgeting strategy for the year ahead.

2. Makayla is told by the head of her department that their unit must increase its return on assets (ROA) ratio from 3% to 5% by next year. If they do not, they risk losing certain benefits. Makayla goes to her office and thinks about how she could resolve this. First, she thinks about ways to increase revenue. Then, she notices that there are several assets that produce very little revenue. She suggests selling these items to help the department achieve its target ROA.
