Scenario 2: Administrative Agencies and Ethics

Brian Day is the vice president of new technology development at Future Electronics in Southaven Mississippi. One year ago, he filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission to obtain approval for a new device using satellite technology. Brian met Jenice Brown at an electronics convention two months ago and invited her to his room at the hotel. The two parted ways. Brown worked as the director for licensing approval of new products at the FCC. Two weeks later, Brown wrote Day a letter on FCC letterhead stating, “It was nice to see your name cross my desk on your company’s application for approval of the new satellite device. I’d really like to see you again. Why don’t you come visit me in Washington this weekend?”

Day considered requesting that the petition be referred to another director at the FCC. However, he is concerned that the transfer would delay the approval process for at least a year. Day’s chief engineer advised that a key competitor plans to introduce a similar device 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 Day do?   
What would you advise Day to do if you were head of human resources or legal counsel for Future Electronics?

True or False: (PE = Physical Education)
1. The scientific method is not a useful way of thinking about problems
2. A major educational objective not associated with physical education is development in the social affective domain.

What is the action strategy to be taken to maintain resident care in the facility and to limit the movement of residents, staff and visitors in order to protect people and property from a hazard? Who will be onsite to ensure the strategy is implemented?
  2. Access the planning process as part of Emergency Preparedness Guide for an Assisted Living facility. What does the planning process as part of an Emergency Preparedness Guide for an Assisted Living facility look like for your facility? Who at your facility needs to be involved?
  3. Provide a Shelter in Place plan for your facility as part of Emergency Preparedness Guide for an Assisted Living facility. If you were to hand this off to family members what main areas will it cover?
  4. Develop a Communications Plan. Have one slide of the highlights to show what will it look like—it will need to address stakeholders including media so the community is aware. The Communications Plan is part of Emergency Preparedness Guide for the Assisted Living facility. Who at your facility will be responsible for updating the media?

Umair has finished his Certificate IV in Ageing Support. He has passed all his assessments and the feedback from his trainers has been very positive. Umair is very excited to get a job – he enquires at his placement organisation, but unfortunately, they do not have any jobs available at the moment. The manager promises to let him know if any jobs are going to be advertised, as she was very impressed with his work. Umair finds that a lot of his job applications do not lead to any interviews. With the urging of his friends, he decides to call the last workplace his applied to and ask why he wasn’t considered for an interview. He is put through to someone called Bri, who says, ‘Oh Umair, that’s right. I heard about you. Yes, the manager didn’t want to put your application through further because they thought some of our elderly clients might be unsettled by a Muslim on the staff.’ Umair hangs up in shock – he can’t believe what he has just heard!

1) What breach has the workplace committed?

2) What could be the consequences of this scenario?

3) What do you think would be the impact on Umair in this situation?

4) Review the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and identify Article/s that are being breached in Umair’s story.

Fixed and Variable Cost Allocation Kumar, Inc., evaluates managers of producing departments on their ability to control costs. In addition to the costs directly traceable to their departments, each production manager is held responsible for a share of the costs of a support center, the Human Resources (HR) Department. The total costs of HR are allocated on the basis of actual direct labor hours used. The total costs of HR and the actual direct labor hours worked by each producing department are as follows:

Year 1 Year 2 Direct labor hours worked: Department A 24,000 25,000 Department B 36,000 25,000 Total hours 60,000 50,000 Actual HR cost $120,000 $120,000 Budgeted HR cost 115,000 * 112,500 * *$0.25 per direct labor hour plus $100,000. When the capacity of the HR Department was originally established, the normal usage expected for each department was 20,000 direct labor hours. This usage is also the amount of activity planned for the two departments in Year 1 and Year 2.

Required: 1. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is product costing. Department A Department B Variable costs $ $ Fixed costs Total cost $ $

2. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is to evaluate performance. Year 1 Year 2 Department A Department B Department A Department B Variable costs $ $ $ $ Fixed costs Total cost $ $ $ $

An application of Newtonian Cooling is calculating the time of death of a person. When healthy, a human body has a steady temperature of 37◦C. Once a person dies, the regulatory mechanisms stop working, and the body temperature rises or falls, depending on the ambient temperature of the environment they died in.

1. The temperature of the body will decrease at a rate proportional to the difference in the current temperature and the ambient temperature. Based on this statement, show how we can model body temperature with the ODE

dT/ dt + kT = kT∞

where T is the temperature of the body, T∞ is the ambient temperate and k is constant.

2. Solve the 1st order ODE for T(t) given the body is initially 37◦C and ambient temperature is constant at 24◦C. Leave k as an unknown.

3. The body takes 2 hours to drop to 32◦C. Use this information to calculate the cooling coefficient k.

4. Plot the temperature of the body for 12 hours after death in MATLAB. Make sure both axes are clearly labelled. Comment on whether the plot is correctly modelling the temperature of the body and provide reasoning as to why (Hint: there are three observations you should be able to comment on!).

5. You find another body of a person related to the first (i.e. same k value), but this was outside where the ambient temperature can be approximated as:

T∞(t) = 6sin( πt /12 ) + 24

Solve the ODE in 1. for T(t) using this function for T∞.
