Gloria Williams, a well-respected tenth-grade social studies teacher, has taught at Johnson High School for over fifteen years. Her formal evaluations were quite good under the previous administration. She was informally evaluated each year during her fifteen-year tenure. The new principal, Bob Mason, who has held his position for only two years, recommended dismissal for incompetency based on two informal assessments of Williams’s performance.

Discussion Questions

1. What are the chances that Williams may be dismissed for incompetency?
2. Is there sufficient evidence to sustain such a charge? Why or Why not?
3. Ideally, what process should be used to successfully remove a teacher for incompetence? Outline the process.
4. Based on information provided in this case, has Gloria Williams been treated fairly? Why or why not?
5. How would the court likely rule in this case? Provide a rationale for your response.
6. What are the administrative implications of this case?

Bunnell Corporation is a manufacturer that uses job-order costing. On January 1, the company’s inventory balances were as follows:

The company applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. For the current year, the company’s predetermined overhead rate of $16.25 per direct labor-hour was based on a cost formula that estimated $650,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 40,000 direct labor-hours. The following transactions were recorded for the year:

1. Raw materials were purchased on account, $510,000.
2. Raw materials used in production, $480,000. All of of the raw materials were used as direct materials.
3. The following costs were accrued for employee services: direct labor, $600,000; indirect labor, $150,000; selling and administrative salaries, $240,000.
4. Incurred various selling and administrative expenses (e.g., advertising, sales travel costs, and finished goods warehousing), $367,000.
5. Incurred various manufacturing overhead costs (e.g., depreciation, insurance, and utilities), $500,000.
6. Manufacturing overhead cost was applied to production. The company actually worked 41,000 direct labor-hours on all jobs during the year.
7. Jobs costing $1,680,000 to manufacture according to their job cost sheets were completed during the year.

You offer Donny the choice between two bundles of Coffee (C) and Muffins (M). The

options are(C,M) = (6, 4)and(C,M) = (8, 2), and Donny indicates he prefers the second option.

(a) Write a utility function for Donny that is consistent with his choice.

Suppose you offer him a third option of(C,M) = (7, 6)in addition to the original two, and that Donny indicates he prefers this third option to the first two.

(b) Write a utility function for Donny that is consistent with his choice. It is possible it may be

the same as your answer from part (a).

Scenario

Sam is an eighth grader who is not finishing his work due to his off-task behaviors. According to his records, this has been an ongoing problem since third grade. His grades have become progressively worse this year. His academic grade in his social studies class (and in most of his other classes) is at 65 percent because assignments are rarely completed or are done haphazardly. When Sam does start an assignment, he often rushes through it, making a number of errors and overlooking information. His teacher reports the following types of off-task behaviors: reading books and magazines, drawing and doodling, daydreaming, and talking to friends and neighbors. These behaviors occur most often during independent work times and rarely during large group or whole class activities. Having reviewed Sam’s completed assignments and his class participation in group activities, Sam’s social studies teacher believes he is capable of doing grade-level work and has decided that Sam will achieve the following goals within six weeks:

• Increase the number of independent assignments completed

• Earn 80 percent or higher on all completed assignments Possible Strategies

• Specific Praise

• Criterion-Specific Rewards

• Choice-Making

1.Read the STAR Sheets on the possible strategies listed above.

2.Write a summary of each strategy, including its purpose.

3.Describe why each strategy might be used to help Sam meet one or more of his goals.

What is your idea about the following paragraph?

How the patient perceives the nurse has been shown to have an impact on the patients care. Due to this, the image of the nurse is important. Historically it has shown nurses in a different light. Our image may impact how professional we appear and the confidence the patient has in our abilities. I also feel that the field of nursing is constantly evolving and changing so it is important to not let the way the media has portrayed us to define our abilities and care for the patients.

Write a MATLAB program to generate a Gaussian window and apply it to a signal as follows:

1. 1)Generate a time vector from 0 to 1 seconds with an interval of 0.001 second
2. 2)Generate two sinusoid signals with a frequency of 90 Hz and 100 Hz, respectively, and add them together
3. 3)Generate a Gaussian window and apply it to the combined sinusoid signal
4. 4)Plot an overlay of the original signal and the windowed in the same figure
5. 5)Add a legend to the figure to identify each signal

Timing-Waiting Lines

Joe Hammer is thinking about setting up a special counter for the do-it-yourself customers at which they can get, not only help where to find products in the store, but also some quick advice about the best way to handle their upcoming projects. Experience has taught Joe that six minutes is a good figure to allow for the average time required to serve a “do-it-yourselfer” and that these customers will arrive every 15 minutes throughout the day.

a.) If joe sets up the counter under these conditions, what operating characteristics might he expect?

b.) What might Joe do to avoid the costs of idleness?

c.) What is the likelihood(probability) that three or more customers will be at the counter, either waiting or being served, at any given time?

Calculate the Utilization rate, idleness rate, Average time in queue, Average time in system, Average number in queue, Average number in system, and probability that three or more customers will be in the counter system at the same time.

Please show calculation for each question, thank you.
