3. Dow Company manufactures tables in U.S. The standard (budgeted) cost of one unit is shown below:

Cafeteria Workers who have been recently unionized at a private university in the Boston area. Their wages on average are $14.00 per hour and a starting wage it $12.50. Every two years workers receive raise averaging $1.00 based on their performance evaluations. Fringe benefits are limited to 10 days of paid holiday per year if they work more than 1,800 hours in the previous year, free use of the exercise facilities and a 25% discount for social events such as concerts and sports matches held on campus. And no other benefits. They are asking on average a $5.00 raise and 4% raise thereafter for the next three years. The management (university) believes that it is too excessive and the university will have to raise the cost of tuition for the university. Workers also want to be vested in the university's employee health plan if they work at least three years first and on average $1,800 hours per year. And some contribution to a retirement pension. Please advocate the position of the Union.

Your Uncle Paulie comes to you seeking advice on how to pay for college tuition for his two boys, Ivan who is 2 and Martin who is 6.

Biomedical ethics, chapter 21

Who shoul be responsible for what happens during a disaster; the individual or the government?

What item or product does the government sell? How does the government get money to spend? How do taxes fit into fiscal policy and if taxes cannot be raised, what does that mean for the debt level of the US? Are the bonds from the debt sold out of the New York Fed? Who are the bonds sold to?

When in college, many students have difficulty relating to the idea of ethical dilemmas in business, probably because the ethical meltdowns featured in news stories seem so clear-cut: unscrupulous managers clearly did the wrong thing. But real-world ethical dilemmas are usually not so obvious; all too often there is no resolution that will not harm some party involved in the issue. This discussion question is designed to explore the gray areas, and by doing so, to help you clarify your individual ethical principles.

Scenario: You’ve just done a great job on a recent project at your company. Your boss has been very vocal about acknowledging your work and the increased revenue that resulted from it. Privately, she said that you clearly earned a bonus of at least 10%, but due to company politics, she was unable to secure the bonus for you. She also implied that if you were to submit inflated expense reports for the next few months, she would look the other way, and you could pocket the extra cash as well-deserved compensation for your contributions.
