Explain how, as a public administrator, you might resolve the ethical dilemma, using the ethical decision-making model presented in the text

Select a government or nonprofit organization with which you are familiar and a specific policy or practice within that organization. Avoid choosing an organization or agency where you currently work or have worked in the past. If you do choose such an agency, do not name it or individuals who work in it specifically. Remember to protect confidentiality.

Consider how organizational culture can influence the creation of ethical and potentially unethical policies and practices within the government or nonprofit organization you selected. Also, think about how the organizational culture might have influenced decision making and the development of specific policies and practices. Finally, consider how the specific policy or practice you selected presents an ethical dilemma and how you might resolve it by using Cooper’s ethical decision-making model from the text.

  • A brief description of the government or nonprofit organization

In terms of capacity, under what conditions would offering this lowest possible price be a bad decision? Why?

You have been approached by a potential customer who could bring considerable business. She says, “I’d like to find an alternative vendor for my future orders of 5,000/yr., but their pricing to me must be competitive.”

Your CFO has supplied you with the following information. Current product standard costs are as follows:

  • $1,400/unit direct material
  • $400/unit direct labor
  • $200/unit variable overhead
  • $200/unit fixed overhead (this figure is the result of budgeted fixed overhead of $2,000,000 and budgeted sales volume of 10,000 units)

The board of directors requests a quick but thorough presentation to determine whether taking on this potential customer is a good idea. Assume that your factory is fully operational and that you will not have any learning curve impacts. Answer the board’s following questions based on data from the CFO:

  1. What is meant by budget variance?
  2. What is an effective way to incorporate variance analysis into the budget process?
  3. What are the differences between labor and material variances?
  4. How is a quantity variance different from a rate variance?
  5. What are the subcomponents of fixed overhead?
  6. What are the subcomponents of variable overhead?
  7. What is the lowest possible price you could offer to this potential customer (You know that we have sufficient capacity, without working overtime and without adding any new equipment, to make this order)? Please show the calculations.
  8. In terms of capacity, under what conditions would offering this lowest possible price be a bad decision? Why?
  9. You have been considering investing in automation to eliminate some factory labor if you get this large order. This technology advancement will cost an added $100,000/yr. to lease (net of taxes), but it will reduce labor cost/unit on the customer’s units by 50%. How would this change the lowest possible price you could offer to this potential customer and at least still break even? Please show the calculations

A community psychologist is interested in whether people’s self-reported degree of religious belief predicts their self-reported feelings of well-being. Conduct a linear regression to analyze the research question.

A community psychologist is interested in whether people’s self-reported degree of religious belief predicts their self-reported feelings of well-being. She administers two questionnaires to 17 individuals, one of which measures degree of religious beliefs (scores range from 1–20 with higher scores indicating higher degree of belief), and another which measures feelings of well-being (scores range from 1–25 with higher scores indicating stronger feelings of well-being). The psychologist compiles the information listed in the table below. Conduct a linear regression to analyze the research question.

The steps will be the same as the ones you have been practicing in Part 1 of the assignment—the only difference is that you are now responsible for creating the data file as well. Remember to name and define your variables under the “Variable View,” then return to the “Data View” to enter the data.

Part 3: Cumulative Homework

To investigate the relationship between a person’s commute time to work and general life stress, a health psychologist interviewed people about the time they spend in their daily commute to work (in minutes) and had them fill out the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (http://www.macses.ucsf.edu/research/psychosocial/pss10.php), with scores ranging from 0 (no perceived stress) to 10 (high perceived stress). Is there a significant relationship between time of commute and general life stress? Choose the correct test to analyze this question, set up the SPSS file, and run the analysis.

Assignment: Fraud at Furniture World

You have been reading about current fraud cases in the news to keep up-to-date on the latest fraud schemes. Read the following case summary and then answer the questions that follow.

Case summary: An employee of Furniture World, a retail outlet based in North Carolina, has been charged with theft for allegedly embezzling over $250,000 from the company. Elizabeth Pine, 52, is scheduled to make her initial court appearance on Wednesday. According to Police Detective Dick Berry, Pine was Furniture World’s payroll clerk and was a trusted employee for over 15 years. Pine’s fraudulent activities, which included arranging payments for fictitious employees, had taken place over the last 16 months. The payments were electronically deposited into bank accounts controlled by Pine, Berry reported. Berry said the fraud was discovered when the company accountant had trouble reconciling the company’s accounts. An internal audit revealed several names on the payroll that did not have valid Social Security numbers. The company subsequently contacted police for help in the investigation. Berry also reported that Pine was recently divorced, has three children to support, and has several credit cards with high balances. Berry added that Pine has resigned from the company and intends to pay the money back.
