Demand for stereo headphones and MP3 players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year. The number of joggers continues to expand, so Nina expects demand for headsets to also expand, because yet, no safety laws have been passed to prevent joggers from wearing them. Demand for the players for last year was as follows:

- 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?

- a) For an upcoming red carpet evening, a company is selling tickets at $60 per person at a large theatre which has a capacity of 10,000 people. Each attendant is expected to buy $12 of food and merchandise at the film evening. The cost of providing the food and merchandise is estimated to be $5 per person. All other ancillary services will be provided by the theatre. Initial analysis indicates that the ancillary cost of providing food and merchandise, as well as the staff needed to handle ticket sales, may be described as a semi-variable cost. Data on these costs and tickets sold from three similar events held at the venue have been collected and are tabulated below: Tickets Sold Cost ($) 2100 6640 3824 11284 4650 13525 Use the high-low method to estimate the total cost function relating to these ancillary costs. b) The company will be renting the theatre which will host the upcoming red carpet evening.

The hospital is at full capacity, but the governing board would like to see an increase in revenue. They’ve tasked you, the hospital administrator, with finding ways to accomplish this. If you are able to raise revenue, the board will provide you with a significant year-end bonus. Currently, 50% of Winchester’s rooms can be converted from having one bed to having two beds, allowing for more patients to be admitted. Doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff are firmly against this move, especially because additional hiring is not planned. These stakeholders make up the vast majority of the hospital workforce. Evaluate this situation using both the utilitarianism and individualistic (ethical egoism) approaches. Define each approach and describe how each would resolve the decision. What would you expect the outcome of each decision to be?
