Daycare Budget than explore the full flexible spreadsheet • - Use digital handout parameter sheet, run scenarios as a class
Variable Costs Semi-Variable Step Costs Fixed Costs Cost Concepts Cost Output • Key question: how does each change as the cost unit (or unit of activity your agency performs – visits miles, packages, clients) changes
Fixed Costs Cost Concepts Cost • Fixed costs do not change as units of activity (kids) change. Output
A-1, C25 is _____ Administrator salary/month Sheet A-1,cell C 27 is the proportion of the monthly salary we are responsible for (remember we are only one of the 4 childcare sites see assumption 5 in parameters)
Cost DefinitionsFixed vs. Variable • Fixed Costs (do not vary with output): • Top administrators and resources they use. • Financial, legal and other services provided organization. • Variable costs (vary directly with output): • Consumables: materials , supplies, gas used in transportation • Printing/postage/communication • Part time personnel providing service directly • Legal, financial and other services tied directly to output • Equipment (and O&M) used directly in service provision • Semi-variable costs (fixed cost + variable cost per unit): • Phones, utility rates. • Step costs (vary in lump with output): • FT personnel • Facilities/utilities/equipment (and O&M) tied to personnel Source: Bretschneider
Variable Costs Cost Concepts Cost • variable costs do change as units of activity (kids) change. Output • Variable costs are to fixed costs as electric bills are to monthly rent charges. Variable Revenues
Sheet A-1 is a quick clue that it is a parameter. then look for cell C 20 (in sheet a-1) (it is “Food costs/day/child”) B6 is the number of children in the daycare (see previous slide) A-1, another parameter, C20 is “Work days/month”
Semi-variable Cost Concepts Cost Secretary paid by hours of work required, but may require standard benefits package such as health benefits. Output • Semi-variable costs do change as units of activity (kids) change but they start off with a fixed cost.

Not needed herebut would be like…=flat cost + (# clients*($5.00))
Step Costs Cost Concepts Cost Output • change only when units of activity (kids) reach steps (i.e. by law need one staff member for every 5 kids)
B7 is the number of employees Sheet A-1,cell C 20 is “Work days/month” A-1, C 21 is Hours/day/employee (i.e. 8 hours a day) A-1, C 24 is Hourly wage--daycare worker (i.e. $6.50/hr)
