Betty, the chief nursing officer, had to make a decision about buying 120 new hospital beds for patient rooms. After she interviewed nurse managers at the units where the beds were going to be placed, Betty compiled her findings and decided to contact a well-known equipment company to obtain prices and contracts. The equipment company’s executive salesperson, Jim, discussed options at length with her and invited her and her significant other to an upcoming all-expenses-paid lavish retreat at a five-star hotel in Hawaii to see demonstrations of the beds and to hear a comprehensive sales pitch. Betty thought to herself, “We badly need some relaxation and stress relief. Hawaii would be so much fun. Would it be wrong for us to go?” In your paper, address all of the following prompts: What action should Betty take in this situation? Give your rationale. Justify your answer with an ethical framework—a theory, approach, or principle. What ethical principles are at stake? What breaches? Do you consider this situation a conflict of interest? Why or why not? Give your rationale. How would Betty handle this case if she believed she needed to seek advice from someone in a higher authority? With whom would she discuss this issue? What policies should be in place regarding a scenario such as this one?

Jessica Smith is the vice president of new drug development at Generic Phama, Inc, a pharmaceutical research company in Boston, Massachusetts. One year ago, she filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval of a new drug for treating cancer. Smith met Joe Spencer at a convention three months ago and invited him to her room at the hotel. The two parted ways. Spencer worked as the director for approval of new drugs at the FDA. Two weeks later, Spencer wrote Smith a letter on FDA letterhead stating, “It was nice to see your name cross my desk on our company’s application for approval of the new cancer drug. I’d really like to see you again. Why don’t you come visit me in Washington this weekend?”

Smith considered requesting that the petition be referred to another director at the FDA. However, she is concerned that the transfer would delay the approval process for at least a year. Smith’s chief scientist advised her that a key competitor plans to introduce a similar drug on the market in three months.

Are there any legal or ethical barriers to relationships between corporate officers and members of administrative agencies involved in reviewing or regulating corporate activity?

What should she do?   

What would you advise her to do if you were head of human resources or legal counsel for Generic Pharma, Inc.

Course: Organization Desgin & Development

The Plaza Inn

OVERVIEW

David Bart, General Manager of the Plaza Inn, received a letter from the hotel association of which the Plaza Inn was a member. The letter stated that the hotel's service levels did not measure up and that the front desk and reservations, two critical departments, received the worst ratings among all of the association's properties. Unless the management of the Plaza Inn could submit a plan for guest service improvement and pass the next inspection scheduled in six months, its membership would be rescinded. In fact, at the Plaza Inn, the inability to efficiently expedite phone calls and respond to guest needs was troubling to Bart, not only from a guest service perspective, but also from the standpoint of lost revenue. QUESTIONS

1. What structural change is indicated at the Plaza Inn?

2. How could the Plaza Inn develop a collaborative strategy?

3. How could technology help solve the problems at the front desk?

4. What changes in culture are needed at the Plaza Inn?

Instructions: Work on the following questions/problems. Be sure to answer all questions (and sub questions within a problem).

  • USE this as you answer sheet (adjust spacing as necessary). Show solutions.
  • This worksheet can be handwritten BUT be sure it is legible
  • Upload work to the designated link in Canvas
  1. (15 points) Suppose John, the owner-manager of a local hotel projects the following demand for his rooms:

                        Price ($)          Qty. Demanded

                        90                    100

                        110                  90

                        130                  70

                       

  1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand between $90 and $110 using the midpoint formula
  2. Is the price elasticity of demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at this price range (re: a)? Interpret the actual number you calculated.
  3. Is it a good idea for John to raise his price from $90 to $110? Explain in 2 sentences.
  4. Calculate John’s total revenue when price is $110 vs. when price is $130.
  5. Based on your answers in (d), is demand elastic, unit elastic or inelastic at that price range (re: d)?
  1. Consider the two products – laundry soap and Tide washer soap. Which product will have the more inelastic demand? Explain in 2-3 sentences. (5 points)
  1. TRUE or FALSE. Suppose the market for crude oil experiences a decrease in demand. Assuming a relatively inelastic supply for crude oil, this market shock leads to a relatively smaller decrease in equilibrium price. Include a graph to illustrate and explain in 2-3 sentences (5 points).

Your friend Bob owns a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette. Your friend Bob never lets you drive his Corvette. Your friend Bob, does however, go out of town a lot. One day, Bob gives you a call and asks if you can drive him to Quincy Airport. Bob even agrees to let you drive the Corvette to take him to the airport. Wanting to get behind the wheel of Bob’s 2013 Corvette, you agree to drive Bob to the airport. The day of the flight, Bob drives to your house in the Corvette. Bob hands you the keys, and you drive Bob to the airport without incident. You make it home from the airport without incident. You park the Corvette in your driveway, next to your car. Three days pass without incident (Bob’s trip is for a week). On the fourth day, you notice someone broke the driver side window of Bob’s Corvette. You tell Bob what happened. Bob becomes upset. Bob says the Corvette was “your responsibility” and that you owe him for the damage. Bob sues you for the damage done to the Corvette.

Do you have to pay Bob? Was a bailment created? If so, what type of bailment? What is the appropriate duty of care, if any? Be sure to fully explain your answer, after all, Corvette damage (no matter how slight) is never cheap.

I try to add the table content work, they will not allow me.. see below in another post pls

One question pls i need help with this, kindly show your work as well so that i can learn. I WILL RATE IT AND LEAVE A COMMENT. THANKS

Tidal Wave is considering purchasing a water park in San Diego comma California​, for $ 1 950 000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $ 500 000 for eight years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for eight years and have no residual value. The company uses​ straight-line depreciation. Its owners want payback in less than five years and an ARR of 10​% or more. Management uses a 14​% hurdle rate on investments of this nature.

Requirement 1. Compute the payback​ period, the​ ARR, the​ NPV, and the approximate IRR of this investment.​ (If you use the tables to compute the​ IRR, answer with the closest interest rate shown in the​ tables.) ​(Round the payback period to one decimal​ place.)

The payback period is

years.

​(Round the percentage to the nearest tenth​ percent.)

The ARR (accounting rate of return) is

%.

​(Round your answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

Net present value $

The IRR​ (internal rate of​ return) is between

16% and 18%

20% and 22%

22% and 24%

18% and 20%

.

Requirement 2. Recommend whether the company should invest in this project.

​Recommendation:

Do not invest in the new facility.

Invest in the new facility.
