Mavis and John have joined forces to start M&J Food Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. John has years of food processing experience, and Mavis has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then sorting, washing, slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce. Together, with help from vendors, they think they can adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues, and variable cost per 5-pound bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed cost of $50,000and a variable cost of $2.50 per bag. They expect to sell 75,000 bags of lettuce per month. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $3.25 per 5-pound bag. John and Mavis has been contacted by a vendor to consider a more mechanized process. This new process will have monthly fixed cost of $125,000 per month with a variable cost of $1.75 per bag. Based on the above scenario:

- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

- The sales and finance team of a car company is evaluating a new proposed luxury model of its brand that will require an investment of $1Billion in a new machine for car interior decoration. Demand for the company’s car is expected to begin at 100,000 units in year 1, with 10% annual growth thereafter. Production cost will be $40,000 per unit in the first year, and increase by a rate Page 1 of 3 Examiners: Dr. A. Afful-Dadzie of either 3% or 5% per year as a result of wage increase. Selling price will start at $35,000 and increase by 5% of the production cost. The model will be phased out at the end of year 10. In addition, 0.3%, 2% and 1% of before tax profit per year will be spent on social corporate responsibility, commercial (including promotions) and recalls respectively. Assume taxes will be 30% of yearly profit and that inflation will remain at 0% per year throughout the 10 year of production.

Carla is the front office manager. Together with Leona, the GM, they make the revenue management decisions for their property. For the Saturday night that is just one week away, they have 180 unsold rooms remaining. Keith would like to accept an available group contract for the entire 180 rooms at a rate of $109 per room. “We’ll sell out,” he proclaims, “and have a great RevPAR.” Carla would like to reduce the room rates to $159.00 per night; which is a $20.00 reduction from the hotel’s normal rate of $179.00. “How many rooms do you forecast we can sell at that rate?” asks Leona. “I believe we can sell about 120 of them,” is Carla’s reply. “That means we’ll leave 60 empty rooms, and a lower RevPAR,” protests Keith. It costs $35.00 to prepare, sell, and clean (prepare for resale) a room at the Tripletree.

In 2007, it was estimated that San Francisco had 82,000 uninsured citizens. Under the plan, all uninsured citizens residing in San Francisco can seek care at the city's public and private clinics and hospitals. The basic coverage includes lab work, x-rays, surgery, and preventative care. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees. The plan requires all businesses with more than 20 employees to contribute a percentage toward the plan. Many business owners consider this a burden and warn they will not stay in the city. The Mayor sees universal health access as a moral obligation for the city. Take one of the following positions. San Francisco has an obligation to provide its…arrow_forward
