View the movie: "Miss Ever Boys". Individually, analyze how the principles of beneficence, respect for human dignity (or respect for persons), and justice were violated during the Tuskegee Study.

In your analysis consider:

1. Did the study involve vulnerable subjects?
2. Why did the "boys" not receive penicillin when it became available?
3. How did the physician defend his refusal to allow the "boys" access to penicillin?
4. How did participation in the study alter their lives and health?
5. What was more important: a group of individuals being negatively affected in a study or the scientific knowledge that could be gained.

Your employer, a midsized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporarily heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of Biggerstaff & McDonald (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&M’s financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%.

A) What is free cash flow (FCF)? What is the weighted average cost of capital? What is the free cash flow valuation model?

B) Use a pie chart to illustrate the sources that comprise a hypothetical company’s total value. Using another pie chart, show the claims on a company’s value. How is equity a residual claim?

C) Suppose the free cash flow at Time 1 is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever. If gL < WACC, what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC? If the most recent free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever (and gL < WACC), what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC?

B&M’s financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%.

You have just learned that B&M has undertaken a major expansion that will change its expected free cash flows to −$10 million in 1 year, $20 million in 2 years, and $35 million in 3 years. After 3 years, free cash flow will grow at a rate of 5%. No new debt or preferred stock were added, the investment was financed by equity from the owners. Assume the WACC is unchanged at 11% and that there are still 10 million shares of stock outstanding.

A) What is its horizon value (i.e., its value of operations at year three)? What is its current value of operations (i.e., at time zero)?

B) What is its value of equity on a price per share basis?

C) If B&M undertakes the expansion, what percent of B&M’s value of operations at Year 0 is due to cash flows from Years 4 and beyond?
Hint: use the horizon value at t = 3 to help answer this question.

A recently published article included data from a survey of 2186 hiring managers and human resource professionals. The article noted that many employers are using social networks to screen job applicants and that this practice is becoming more common. Of the 2186 people who participated in the survey, 1312 indicated that they use social networking sites (such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) to research job applicants. Based on the survey data, is there convincing evidence that fewer than two-thirds of hiring managers and HR professionals use social networking sites in this way? Use a significance level of ?=0.01to make your conclusion

.1.Calculate the test statistic.

2.Use a significance level of ?=0.01to make your conclusion.

You work the human resources in your county’s criminal justice department. You have noticed that it seems that probation officers miss more days of work in a year than parole officers. You think they do but you want to be sure that the difference is significant. You collect data on the number of missed days of work and determine that the mean number of missed days for parole officers is 7 and the mean number of missed days for probation officers is 12. The grouped standard deviation is 2. You assume a normal distribution of your variables.

Would you reject the null hypothesis for a:

i. One-tailed .05 test? (5 pts)

ii. Two-tailed .01 test? (5 pts)

David Desreumaux, VP of Human Resources of Maritime Boat Manufacturing (MBM), is reviewing the employee training programs of MBM factories. Based on a recent census of personnel, David knows that the variance of worker training time in New Brunswick is 8, and he wonders if the variance in Nova Scotia is the same number. His staff randomly selected personnel files for 15 workers in Nova Scotia, and determined that their mean training time was 25 hours and that the standard deviation was 4 hours. Assume that worker training time is normally distributed in the population. Using alpha = 0.10, the critical values of chi-square are..
