Wait, did they say the indirect costs are 'mainly' equipment-related? Sounds like a trap to me! I'm just going to go with the answer that involves the most math - C) 400% of radiologists' wages. Who doesn't love a good ol' overhead calculation?

This exam is really testing our understanding of hospital finance. I'm feeling confident about B) 10% of machine value. Although, I do wonder if the correct answer is actually 'all of the above' and the exam is just trying to trick us.

A) 6 per machine hour? That's a bit too specific, don't you think? I'm going with C) 400% of radiologists' wages. Gotta love those high overhead rates!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards D) 3 per staff hour, but I'm not entirely sure. Better double-check the details.

I agree with Pansy, 6 per machine hour makes more sense as the overhead absorption rate for the Radiology Department.

I disagree, I believe it should be 6 per machine hour because equipment related costs are the main indirect costs.
