Phil, having exhausted all other appeals in his complaint, called Beth, the compliance officer, to speak with her about a decision that the human resources department had made that he believed was out of compliance with the Federal Equal Pay Act. The office assistant, Mary, stated, “Beth will not be in the office until next week.” Phil then scheduled a telephone conference with Beth for the following week. He asked Mary, “Will my telephone conference with Beth remain confidential?” Mary said, “Most certainly. Our office is here for you. Everything in our office is confidential.”The following week Phil called Beth to discuss his concern that certain professionals were performing the same work as he was and were getting paid more. He described the specifics of his concern. Beth asked, “Is it OK for me to reveal your name to human resources so I can obtain the necessary records that I would need from them to see if you are being paid equally to others for the same work?” Phil agreed to Beth’s request. During his discussion with Beth, Phil discussed several other corporate leadership concerns with her and asked that his conversations remain confidential. Beth replied, “If you wanted confidentiality, then you should have asked for it before speaking to me.” Phil replied, “Confidentiality was promised prior to our discussion and I am surprised at your response.” Beth replied, “Well, you are wrong.”

What lessons could employees learn from Phil’s experience? 2. Discuss how this scenario could have ended with a win-win conclusion for both the employee and the compliance office

Marlena transferred from one unit in state government to a smaller unit consisting of four team members. She took her vacation immediately after her transfer was announced. The agency lease is set to expire in June 2020. However, the landlord requested Marlena's company move to their new location in July 2019. On her first day back from vacation, Marlena learned that her office cubicle had been dismantled and she was moved into a conference room to share with ten additional coworkers.

Kane was accepted into the study abroad program at Boston University for the fall semester and has to leave her home in Japan by mid-August. Kane was honored to be accepted into the program, but nervous about traveling to Boston as she has never left Japan. On her way to her new apartment she stopped at the nearest grocery store for some dinner. When she jumped off the bus she noticed that there were people in front of the grocery store, but continued to walk by. They began screaming at Kane, yelling at her for shopping there and not supporting the workers. Kane was so upset by the situation and quickly purchased a few items and left crying.

Parries Confectionery Company is considering the introduction of a new toffee. It requires four
processes: A, B, C, and D in sequence. The equipment required for each process is available in
the company now and is dedicated to the production of another type of candy. Although some
capacity is available on all the equipment types, management is not sure whether they need to
buy additional pieces. To aid management in decision making, the following information is
available:
(a) The four pieces of equipment—one for each type—are available 50% of the time.
(b) The company operates one shift per day (8 hours) and 250 days per year.

(c) If the company decides to produce toffee, then it must allocate half a day for candy production
and the remaining half day for toffee.
(d) The time required for equipment setup, cleaning, and maintenance and scrap rate (i.e.,
spillage, production items that do not meet shape and other quality standards and hence
must be discarded, etc.) for each process is given in Table 2.6.

Table 2.6 Production Data for Parries Confectionery:

(e) The demand for toffee is expected to be 1,000,000 per year. If 1,000,000 toffees are required
to be made per year, determine how many input and output units are required for each
process.
(f) Determine whether the company can produce the new toffee with the available equipment.
If not, how many pieces of each equipment must Parries purchase? Show your calculations.
(g) The company can operate half a second shift by using 15 employees who must be paid an
overtime salary of $20 per hour. The overhead expenses are estimated to be $10,000. It is
known that equipment for processes A, B, C, and D cost $50,000, $200,000, $100,000, and
$100,000, respectively. Is it better to operate the (half) second shift or purchase necessary
additional equipment. Explain your answer.

Pls Be clear especially (g)

You are to create a program to request user input and store the data in an array of structures, and then display the data as requested. The data you are collecting refers to a set of images. The images are OCT images taken of the lining of the bladder. The data you provide will help diagnose the image as cancerous or not, but your code does not need to do that at the moment.

First, Define a global structure that contains the following information:

a) File number (must be >0)
b) Diagnosis number (1-8)
c) Number of layers in the image
d) Maximum average intensity of a single row (should be a float) e) Width of brightest layer

Next, Declare an array of the 9 of structures in the first part. This array should be be a global variable.

Next, Initialize each of the file numbers in the array to -1.

After, Create a loop that will continue asking the user for the above data until the file number 0 is given, or until information has been provided for 9 images.

Next, If the user provides a file number less than 0, ask again. Do not ask for further information if the user provides a file number equal to 0.

Then, If the user provides a diagnosis number that is not between 1 and 8, ask again.

Next, Store the data in the array of structures in the order it is provided.

Now, Write a function to display the information for a particular file number. If the file number was not found, nothing is displayed. The function will return a 1 if the file number was found or a 0 if the file number was not in the array.

Next, In your main function, after the loop which requests the data, create another loop that will request a file number from the user and then call the function written for #8 to display the data for that file number. This loop will continue until a file number is provided that is not found.

Finally, In your main function, after the code for #9, add a loop that will display the information for all items stored in the array in order.

Assume that sales will grow at 5.00%. The following accounts (cash, accounts receivable, inventory, net fixed assets, accounts payable and accruals, as well as operating costs) are assumed to change with sales and will maintain their current percentage of sales rates into 2016. The dividend payout ratio will remain the same. Long-term debt and notes payable will remain constant into 2016 as will interest expense, as a result. The firm also does not plan to issue any additional common stock or conduct any share repurchases. The firm’s tax rate is 40%. Any additional funds needed will be sourced through a line-of-credit (LOC) and surpluses will be paid out through a special dividend.

BALANCE SHEET AS OF 12/31/2015:

Using the percent-of-sales forecast approach, forecast the 2016 income statement and balance sheet. Be sure the balance sheet balances.

What are the Projected Regular Dividends for 2016?

What is the Projected Special Dividend (if any)?

What is the Projected LOC (if any)?
