The produce manger at the local grocery store must determine how many pounds of bananas to order weekly. Based upon past experience, the demand for bananas is expected to be 100,150, 200, or 250 pounds with the following probabilities: 100lbs 0.20; 150lbs 0.25; 200lbs 0.35, 250lbs 0.20. The bananas cost the store $.45 per pound and are sold for $.085 per pound. Any unsold bananas at the end of each week are sold to a local zoo for $.30 per pound. Use your knowledge of decision analysis to model and solve this problem in order to recommend how many pounds of bananas the manager should order each week.

Don’ts of Electronic Mail

Don’t • Use e-mail to discuss something with a colleague who sits across the aisle or down the hall from you. Take the old-fashioned approach of speaking to each other. • Say anything negative about a boss, friend, or colleague via e-mail. And don’t forward the negative comments of others. • Use e-mail to start or perpetuate a feud. If you get an e-mail that tempts you to respond in a scathing manner, stop yourself. You may be misinterpreting the message. Even if you’re not, take the high road. • Write anything in an e-mail you wouldn’t want published in a newspaper. E-mail with sensitive or potentially embarrassing information has an uncanny way of leaking out. • Begin responding to e-mail messages on your smartphone’s tiny keyboard the minute you get out of a meeting. Get back to your office, laptop, or tablet, where you can craft a better response in less time. Select a one don't of electronic email that you violated and tell a story.

Consider Commerce Clause, Dormant Commerce Clause, Supremacy & Preemption legal theory Golden is a privately-owned company engaged in the business of disposing toxic waste generated by mining companies. Golden operates pursuant to a license issued by the state of Alpha. This license authorizes Golden to contract with miners to provide the following services: (i) collection of toxic waste at mine sites, and (ii) transportation of that waste to Golden's disposal station, which is in Alpha, three miles from the border with the state of Beta. In accordance with the authority granted by its license for the past 10 years Golden has contracted to provide services to miners in Alpha. Recently, Golden expanded its business to serve the miners in Beta and emerging battery businesses across the border in Beta. Shortly after Golden extended its services to the Beta miners and plants, the residents of the town from which the toxic waste disposal station operates started complaining about the rash of skin irritations, and increased illness. Prior to Golden's expansion of service to the State of Beta miners and the battery business, the U.S. Congress has passed legislation promulgating standards for safe disposal of toxic materials including batteries. The residents petitioned the State of Alpha to close Golden's disposal station. Golden objected. The Commissioner held open hearings. Following the hearings, the state issued an order that the use of Golden's disposal station would be limited to toxic waste from Alpha miners only. The Beta miners and battery businesses were barred from disposing of their toxic waste through Golden. Both Golden and the State of Beta have filed suit against State of Alpha seeking to rescind the order. Develop an IRAC for the constitutional legal issues.
