I have the chapters for these case studies in electronic form.

I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based bot, I am unable to read or access specific textbook or chapter content. Therefore, I won't be able to directly provide information from the specific cases in your textbook.

However, I can still provide some general guidance on how to approach similar case studies:

1. Case Study 1:
a. At which level do some of the basic functions belong?
- To determine the level at which these functions belong, you would need to analyze the organizational structure and hierarchy of the company presented in the case. Look for information on the reporting relationships and responsibilities of different departments or individuals.

2. Case Study 2:
a. If you were in Mr. Land's position, what would your response be to Ms. Fowler?
- To provide an appropriate response, you need to understand the details and context of the case in Chapter 3. Analyze the situation, consider the available options, and assess the pros and cons of each option. Finally, make a decision based on the best course of action.

b. Refer to the financial statements presented for PCI, Inc. In Janet's absence, provide answers to Dr. Jackson's questions using this data.
- Review the financial statements provided in the Chapter 4 case. Analyze the specific questions asked by Dr. Jackson and use the financial data to provide relevant information and answers. Look for key data points such as revenue, expenses, profitability, liquidity, and financial ratios to support your conclusions.

Remember to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to analyze the cases thoroughly and provide well-reasoned responses.

To answer the questions in each case study, you will need to refer to the specific chapters and case studies provided in your textbook. Here's a general approach on how you can find the answers:

CASE STUDY 1:
1. Read the continuing case at the end of Chapters 1 and 2 in your textbook. Identify the basic functions mentioned (cost accounting, reporting tax, patient accounts and billing, accounts payable) and determine which level they belong to. Look for information or descriptions in the case study that indicate the level of these functions.

CASE STUDY 2:
1. Read the continuing case at the end of Chapters 3 and 4 in your textbook. Put yourself in Mr. Land's position and consider the situation presented in the case study. Based on your understanding of the case and your own judgment, determine what your response would be to Ms. Fowler's request and explain why.

2. Look for the financial statements presented for PCI, Inc. in Chapter 4 of your textbook. Analyze the information provided in these financial statements and use the data to provide answers to the questions Dr. Jackson has regarding the joint venture. Consider the relevant financial figures, ratios, and trends that can help address Dr. Jackson's questions.

As you have mentioned that you have the chapters in electronic form, you can search for specific terms or use the table of contents or index to locate the relevant information within the electronic textbook. Make sure to read through the relevant sections thoroughly to understand the context and details necessary to answer the questions accurately.
