Discussion Question:

1. Suppose an employer gives employees an insurance discount based on number of hours of physical fitness activities. Who benefits from the program? Who is harmed? Is this ethical?

2. Suppose an employer charges all employees the same premium, regardless of their health habits, Who benefits? Who is harmed? Is this ethical?

Answer: When an employer gives the employees insurance discounts based on number of hours if physical fitness activities the one who benefits from the programs is the employer and the ones who are harmed are the employees. This is because many people might not have capacity to do all the programs and the employees have age gaps which might not allow some to do fitness activities. The activities they do might not be related to the stress they take during work . Hence this is not only harmful but also unethical to relate discounts and fitness activities.

When an employer charges same premium regardless of health habits it is beneficial to the employer and employee. It provides full premium to the employee and any sudden health problems can also be covered as health will not be the same always. This also makes everyone in the company equal and gives equal rights and benefits to everyone which is also ethical.

The state workers’ compensation board that governs workers’ compensation for the state that your company resides...

The state workers’ compensation board that governs workers’ compensation for the state that your company resides and performs all of its business in, has decided to reject the four exceptions to the governing classification and single enterprise rule in your state. Understanding this is a very big issue, your company’s legal team has elicited your help to write an argumentative paper that will be presented to the workers’ compensation board during the public hearings scheduled for next week. Compose a paper that defends the following list:

1. the Standard Exception classifications,

2. the Interchange of Labor rules,

3. the General Exclusion classes, and

4. the use of the Multiple Enterprise rule.

The legal department is depending on you to ensure that to help the board understand why the rejection of these exceptions would be so detrimental to your business. Make sure you argue your points based on a company with 8,000-plus employees, within seven different manufacturing sites and two major administrative buildings that are separated geographically from the plants. Your EMR for the trailing 36-month period is 0.94 and the gross revenue for your company is $1.3 billion. Your paper must be a minimum of three pages (not including the title and reference page) and include at least two academic resources. All information from outside resources should be cited in APA format. Please include an abstract that summarizes the key points of your defense and/or argument.

Handi Inc., a cell phone manufacturer, procures a standard display from LCD Inc. via an options contract. At the start of quarter 1 (Q1), Handi pays LCD $4.00 per option. At that time, Handi’s forecast of demand in Q2 is normally distributed with a mean of 30,000 and a standard deviation of 9,000. At the start of Q2, Handi learns exact demand for Q2 and then exercises options at the fee of $2.70 per option, (for every exercised option, LCD delivers one display to Handi). Assume Handi starts Q2 with no display inventory and displays owned at the end of Q2 are worthless. Should Handi’s demand in Q2 be larger than the number of options held, Handi purchases additional displays on the spot market for $8.00 per unit. For example, suppose Handi purchases 37,000 options at the start of Q1, but at the start of Q2 Handi realizes that demand will be 40,000 units. Then Handi exercises all of its options and purchases 6,000 additional units on the spot market. If, on the other hand, Handi realizes demand is only 35,000 units, then Handi merely exercises 35,000 options.

a. Suppose Handi purchases 37,000 options. What is the expected number of options that Handi will exercise?

b. Suppose Handi purchases 37,000 options. What is the expected number of displays Handi will buy on the spot market?

c. Suppose Handi purchases 37,000 options. What is Handi’s expected total procurement cost?

d. How many options should Handi purchase from LCD?

e. What is Handi’s expected total procurement cost given the number of purchased options from part d?
