Harbor City Community Center Case Study

1. With the information in regards to the allocations, Ms. Conaway has some decisions to make for the future of the company. Harbor City Community Center needs to evaluate the departments that is causing the most deficit. In this case the largest deficits are Counseling and Mental health. These two programs are also not where the bulk of clients are coming from. The departments only count for 3,500 visits (2,100 + 1,400) or 10.6% of the total visits.

The extra income in those departments could help the more expensive departments to be more affordable since it is located in a low income area.
