- For the past several years, Kent Corporation had achieved remarkable success in winning R&D contracts. The customers were pleased with the analytical capabilities of the R&D staff at Kent Corporation. Theoretical and experimental results were usually within 95 percent agreement. But many customers still felt that 95 percent was too low. They wanted 98–99 percent. In 1989, Kent updated their computer facility by purchasing a large computer. The increased performance with the new computer encouraged the R&D group to attempt to convert from two-dimensional to three dimensional solutions to their theoretical problems. Almost everyone except the director of R&D thought that this would give better comparison between experimental and theoretical data. Kent Corporation had tried to develop the computer program for three dimensional solutions with their own internal R&D programs, but the cost was too great. Finally, after a year of writing proposals, Kent Corporation…arrow_forwardSample Question and Answer: Question: James was elderly, disabled, and afflicted with very bad arthritis. One day, his 20 year-old neighbor pulled James’s chair out from under James. The girl said she didn’t mean to hurt him. James was not amused and sued the girl for damages. Will James likely be successful? Yes_____ No_____ Reason [Please state the rule(s) of law and your analysis] Answer: James would likely win for the tort of battery which is the intentional harmful or offensive touching of another (the “rule of law”). Analysis: Jokes and pranks are capable of resulting in battery. The chair was pulled out intentionally, which caused offensive contact between James’s body and the floor, in that, the chair was arguably within James’s zone of personal bodily integrity and, thus, an extension of his body. The fact that James was not physically injured is irrelevant. All that matters is that the girl intended the act or knew with substantial certainty of the consequences…arrow_forwardEthics If a company knows that a snack or beverage is typically consumed in a single sitting (such as a bottle of soda or a bag of chips), is it ethical for that com- pany to include on the product's nutrition label values based on the identification of multiple servings within the product (that is, the nutrition values displayed would represent a single serving of the product that is less than the whole product, making it necessary to multiply those values by the number of servings to identify the total nutritional value of the package)?arrow_forward
- Read the case study and answer the question: RJ Booker, a real estate firm based in Milsons Point, Sydney, emailed Mimi. Mimi had a friend working at RJ booker and she told her that she wanted to sell her unit. The unit was located on the 19th floor of a modern apartment building located in Milson’s Point, almost beside the entrance to Luna Park. Gustavo, the franchisee and principal of RJ Booker in Milson’s Point, asked Mimi if the firm can be her exclusive agent in the sale of her unit. Gustavo explained that if they located a qualified buyer, RJ Booker would be entitled to the standard Real Estate industry commission rates for agents. Currently, this was about 3 percent of the purchase price. Mimi agreed and signed the agency contract. Within five days, Gustavo called Mimi and told her that he had found a buyer for her unit, Alisa. Alisa had told Gustavo that she was ready to buy Mimi’s unit “as per contract” and “depending on the result of a property inspection”. The very next day,…arrow_forwardSECTION B : CASE STUDY Whistle-Blowing and the Environment Katherine works as a clerk for Bio Chemist Services, a small toxic-waste disposal company. The company has a contract to dispose of medical waste from a local hospital. During the course of her work, Katherine comes across documents that suggest Bio Chemist has actually been disposing of some of this medical waste in a local municipal landfill. Katherine is shocked. She knows this practice is illegal. And even though only a small portion of the medical waste that Bio Chemist handles is disposed of this way, any amount at all seems a worrisome threat to public health. Katherine gathers the appropriate documents and takes them to her immediate superior, David. David says, “Look, I don't think that sort of thing is your concern, or mine. We're in charge of record keeping, not making decisions about where this stuff gets dumped. I suggest you drop it.” The next day, Katherine decides to go one step further and talk to Sophia…arrow_forwardWhat does Florida Statute 400.147 require of Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs - pronounced SNIFs) regarding receiving an adverse incident report?
