What is your view on this student's response from the example on school lunches? Please see below.

The example involves a public school cafeteria serving lunch. Some students pay full price for their food, but others receive lunch for a reduced price or for free under the federal National School Lunch Program. For simplicity's sake, let's assume the school cafeteria meets all nutritional requirements to qualify for NSLP - all it needs to do now is serve the lunches. The grant is expenditure driven - when the school district proves the reduced price and free meals have been provided, the federal government owes it a grant payment. (Again, we'll ignore the part of the program that involves school districts receiving free food products from the USDA to use in the meals.)

Student's Response: The school and student are conducting a nonexchange transaction when the school provides a lunch valued at X for free to the student. I base this on the GASB definitions of the two types of transactions. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal. Nonexchange transactions are those in which a government gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange. The student receives a meal, so the school (government) provided value. However, the school did not directly receive any value from the student.

Gloria Williams, a well-respected tenth-grade social studies teacher, has taught at Johnson High School for over fifteen years. Her formal evaluations were quite good under the previous administration. She was informally evaluated each year during her fifteen-year tenure. The new principal, Bob Mason, who has held his position for only two years, recommended dismissal for incompetency based on two informal assessments of Williams’s performance.

Discussion Questions

1. What are the chances that Williams may be dismissed for incompetency?
2. Is there sufficient evidence to sustain such a charge? Why or Why not?
3. Ideally, what process should be used to successfully remove a teacher for incompetence? Outline the process.
4. Based on information provided in this case, has Gloria Williams been treated fairly? Why or why not?
5. How would the court likely rule in this case? Provide a rationale for your response.
6. What are the administrative implications of this case?

Timing-Waiting Lines

Joe Hammer is thinking about setting up a special counter for the do-it-yourself customers at which they can get, not only help where to find products in the store, but also some quick advice about the best way to handle their upcoming projects. Experience has taught Joe that six minutes is a good figure to allow for the average time required to serve a “do-it-yourselfer” and that these customers will arrive every 15 minutes throughout the day.

a.) If joe sets up the counter under these conditions, what operating characteristics might he expect?

b.) What might Joe do to avoid the costs of idleness?

c.) What is the likelihood(probability) that three or more customers will be at the counter, either waiting or being served, at any given time?

Calculate the Utilization rate, idleness rate, Average time in queue, Average time in system, Average number in queue, Average number in system, and probability that three or more customers will be in the counter system at the same time.

Please show calculation for each question, thank you.

Q2. Your consulting team has been hired by Unilever, a multinational corporation that owns many of the world’s consumer product brands in foods, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. Dove is a personal care brand owned by Unilever. Dove’s product lines include: antiperspirants/deodorants, body washes, beauty bars, lotions/moisturizers, hair care, and facial care products.

Your company sells health insurance policies. The company has a large sales force comprised of independent contractors. Some of its sales agents, usually after a significant period of service, are promoted to the position of "sales leader." Sales leaders sign an agreement, consenting to remain as independent contractors when they are promoted. Sales leaders do little selling of policies; instead, their main responsibilities are recruiting, training, and managing sales agents. The income of sales leaders is mainly derived from overwrite commissions on their subordinates' sales. The company retains control over the hiring, firing, assignment, and promotion of sales agents. The company determines sales leaders' territories and does not permit them to sell other insurance products or operate other businesses. Sales leaders set their own hours and conduct their day-to-day activities largely free from supervision. Attendance at company meetings and training sessions is generally considered optional for sales leaders. Sales leaders receive no benefits and the company does not withhold any of their pay for tax purposes. Several sales leaders are threatening to sue for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act. a) Are the sales leaders employees or independent contractors? Describe the analysis you will conduct to determine their appropriate classification.
