Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Capital expenditures include expenditures on physical items, such as replacement or expansion of the plant, major equipment, and inventories.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A prospective reimbursement system encourages the implementation of cost-effective health care services. Reimbursement is based on the cost of treatment of specific DRGs rather than on per diem costs or total hospital costs divided by patient-days. The payment unit is the diagnosis rather than the patient-day.
