(b) Suppose now that all is as in the previous question but that only 320L of Important Chemical A are now required at Warehouse 1. Any excess chemical can be transported to either Warehouse 1 or 2 for storage, in which case the company must pay only the relevant transportation costs, or can be disposed of at the port in which case the company pays no transportation costs but pays a disposal fee of £16 per L. You want to find out how to ship or dispose of all 610L of chemical imported at a minimum cost, while still ensuring that the required amounts (320L and 230L, respectively) are delivered to Warehouse 1

Please read the fact pattern below and discuss within the framework of the ethics materials you have studied this week. Ann Elkin, who works for Brill Co., has been sent out to conduct two customer evaluations, which have gone much more quickly than Ann anticipated. Her supervisor does not expect Ann back until after lunch. It is now 10:30 A.M., and Ann would like to run some personal errands and then go to lunch before returning to work at 1:00 P.M. Should Ann take the time? Would you? Why or why not? Is this any different than if Ann was sitting at her office desk using a work computer to access her personal email, surf the internet, check social media or make personal phone calls on her work phone? Be sure to consider the categories of ethical values found in Chapter 3 of the eText and apply one or two models before reaching your conclusion.
