Rare earths were discovered at Europium on 17th January 2020. In April 2020 after a review of the prospects for the Gadolinium site it was decided to abandon operations there. Exploration was still a work in progress at the Terbium site, but no decision had been made about the commercial potential of that site. Development of the Europium site had continued during the year and at 30th June 2020 $36 million had been incurred. These costs are to be written off on a production basis.

This cost relates to the construction of plant and equipment. It is estimated that there are 150,000 tonnes of rare earth which has a current sale price of $3,500 per tonne. By the 30th June 2020 15,000 tonnes had been extracted at a production cost of $6 million of which 12,000 tonnes were sold.

Cultural ethics and hiring
  • Very personal questions about family background, age, marital status and religion are asked at the interviews.

  • Preference is given to anyone who has family already working for the company. A person with good credentials but no connections through family or close friends to the company will not be hired.

  • Religion creates rank. People of one religion would only be hired for menial positions while people of the other main religion could be hired for any position.

  • Women are paid 2/3 the salary of men for doing the same job and married women can only work at this company if they have their husband’s permission.

  • Employees are promised one wage at the interview but paid a lower wage in reality.


Please answer the following questions:

  • All of the differences are legal and normal in Country H. Does that make them ethical? Why or why not?

  • What would you do? Would you go along with their practices? Would you try to change the minds of the people you supervise and change the ethics of this company? Would you give up the job because of ethical concerns and fly home?

  • Choose whether it would be better to use ends-based thinking, rule-based thinking, or care-based thinking to make a decision as to what course of action to take in this situation, and say why.

The company is best known for its flagship product Coca-Cola, invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. In Ghana, the company was formed from a divestiture of Bottling Division of G.N.T.C in March 1995 and started operations on March 7, 1995 at the GNTC plant at Adjabeng. The new premises sited off the Spintex Road, was commissioned in 1996. Since the divestiture, the Company has invested over US$90 million in vehicles, glass bottles, plastic bottles, plastic crates, production and marketing equipment. In 2019, the company contracted an economist who estimated the demand function for the company’s product (Coca-Cola) using data from 28 supermarket as follows:
?= +0.5?−24=0
where P is the price per bottle and ?= is the quantity demanded. In addition, the economist also
estimated the supply function for product as follows.
4?> − 3? + 4 = 0
where P is the price per bottle and ?> is the quantity supplied. As the consultant of this
company, you are to use this information to:
