One theme in this module is the perceived tension between free exercise of religion (guaranteed under the 1st amendment to the Constitution) and equal protection under the law (guaranteed by the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution).

Excerpt from 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Excerpt from Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

In short, which is more at risk: freedom of religion OR equality of all people under the law? Explain your answer.

Bayshore Child Development Center: A Case Study

Tanya R. Li has been promoted to director of the Bayshore Child Development Center. The children serviced by the center are racially and ethnically diverse and from low-income families. The white teachers are in the minority and feel isolated. The teachers of color feel that the white teachers do not understand the children. In addition, James, a veteran teacher, has been discovered to have had a criminal record prior to employment at the center. The state that funds the nonprofit center does not allow anyone with a criminal record to work in direct contact with children, but he was employed prior to the law going into effect.

Tanya has identified three problems: (1) How can she make the teachers gain better understanding of each other’s cultures? (2) How can she help the teachers gain better understanding of the children’s culture? (3) How does she deal with James, whose performance has been stellar since he joined the center 15 years ago? She also understands the shortage of preschool teachers in her area and is interested in creating a more satisfying work environment.

1. How would you advise Tanya to prioritize the problems that need to be addressed? Explain
2. What do you believe is at the root of the problem? Explain
3. How would you address the problems that make up the situation? Explain
4. What methods would you find most useful in trying to deal with the conflict?Explain

Your company’s current pay structure was developed using the point-factor method in conjunction with market review data. Following the lead of other companies in the industry, however, your CEO proposes that she would like to overhaul the current pay structure by using market pricing exclusively. Recall from this chapter that market pricing refers to the process of basing a pay structure (almost) entirely off of competitors’ pay practices. The CEO declares that the overhauled pay structure will do a better job at attracting and retaining top talent, as pay will match or exceed that of competitors.

You are the vice president of HR at the company, and the CEO values your opinion on HR-related topics and issues. The CEO has asked you to evaluate her proposal and provide her with feedback.

Should the organization overhaul the current pay structure using market pricing? Evaluate this decision using the following criteria.

Please provide the rationale for your answer to each of the questions below.

Is market pricing legal, ethical, and fair?

Is it evidence based/evidence informed?

Does it foster healthy employee–employer relationships?

Is it time and cost effective?

Does it take a systematic stakeholder perspective?

Considering your analysis above, overall, do you think this would be an effective decision? Why or why not?

What, if anything, do you think should be done differently or considered to help make this decision more effective?

2. When 1-methylcyclopentane (below) is treated with bromine in the presence of light, two and only two structural isomers are obtained; one is about 90% of the product mixture and the other about 10%. (Ignore sterochemistry for this problem)

a. Draw the major and minor isomers.

b.Provide a complete and detailed mechanism for the formation of the major product. Label each step. Be sure to use proper mechanism arrows!

c. Why are there only two products formed? Explain your answer with a drawing.

You and two friends are on a game show. Each of you enters the studio with a hat on your head. There are two colors of hats: red and blue. They are assigned randomly, so each person has a 50% chance of a red hat and a 50% chance of a blue hat. Each person can see the hats of the two other people, but they can't see their own hat. Each person can either try to guess the color of his or her own hat or pass. All three of you do it simultaneously, so there is no way to base your guess on the guesses of your friends. If nobody guesses incorrectly and at least one person guesses correctly, then you all share a big prize. Otherwise you all lose. If everybody randomly guesses and nobody passes what is the probability that you will win?

Since you are all friends, and you all know how the game works, you develop a strategy with your friends before the show to maximise your probability of winning. (Note: if your strategy requires a particular person to speak regardless of what hat colours you all see then that person is you. In cases where both colours are equally attractive then you will pick red.)
When you walk onto the stage you can see that both of your friends have blue hats on.
What colour should you guess?
(a) Red (b) Blue (c) Stay silent

Maggie bought a house which was quite a dump in 1989 for $75,000. She fixed it up with paint and wallpaper but in 1996 she did a major renovation which cost $50,000. In 1993, she bought a dump of a cottage for $35,000 because it was both on a lake and near some good cross-country ski trails. She winterized it immediately for $10,000. Over time, the dumpy cottage has become quite attractive with the addition of a new roof, siding, windows and doors all of which cost $15,000 in 1995. In addition, she is fond of landscaping and has created quite a beautiful garden. I might add that Maggie has only $40,000 in RRSPs since she prefers to sink her money into her living space.

In July 2006, Maggie lost her job and received $60,000 in severance pay. She put as much as she could into her RRSP (included in the $40,000 above) and put the rest in GICs to help finance her plan. Maggie had been taking courses for several years to become a Master Gardener.

When she lost her job, she decided to live out her dream of having a gardening business where she would design gardens for others with cottages near her and maintain them if they needed it because they mostly come to their cottages on the weekend to relax. In the winter, she will keep the lanes clear (with her snow blower) and check up on the cottages now and again. She gave her corporate clothes to her friend Kate with the proviso that she could stay with her when she comes to the City (which won’t be often because she is very fed up).

When she lost her job, she immediately started renting out the house for $1,600 a month plus utilities. She still has to pay the $2,400 a year taxes and maintenance but figures the house will be her retirement fund. When she started renting out the house, it immediately ceased to be her principal residence – her cottage is now her principal residence. In July 2006, her house was worth $300,000 and the cottage is worth $140,000.

Questions:

a.     Maggie’s house increases in value at about 3% a year from 2006 and she sells it in 2017. How much is her taxable capital gain on the house ignoring real estate commissions?

b.    Maggie’s cottage also increases 3% a year in value. If she also sells it in 2017 in order to buy a bed and breakfast, how much is her taxable capital gain?
