- In Year 1, Better Sleep Company began to receive complaints from physicians that patients were experiencing unexpected side effects from the company’s sleep apnea drug. The company took the drug off the market near the end of Year 1. During Year 2, the company was sued by 1,000 customers who had had a severe allergic reaction to the company’s drug and required hospitalization. At the end of Year 2, the company’s attorneys estimated a 60 percent chance the company would need to make payments in the range of $1,000 to $5,000 to settle each claim, with all amounts in that range being equally likely. At the end of Year 3, while none of the cases had been resolved, the company’s attorneys now estimated an 80 percent probability the company would be required to make payments in the range of $2,000 to $7,000 to settle each claim. In Year 4, 400 claims were settled at a total cost of $1.2 million. Based on this experience, the company believes 30 percent of the remaining cases will be settled for $3,000 each, 50 percent will be settled for $5,000, and 20 percent will be settled for $10,000.

- Daniel Hudson, the general counsel of eHarbour, has received a letter from a dissatisfied eHarbour user. The user downloaded the eHarbour app to his phone and used the navigation software to compete in a local regatta. The user claims that the app stopped working during the regatta when he was leading the race and that he ended up placing fourth rather than winning the regatta. An internal investigation shows that the software indeed had a temporary service outage on the day of the race for approximately 10 minutes for selected users. The customer is demanding $100,000, including the $5,000 prize awarded to the first-place winner, and emotional damages in the amount of $95,000 for not winning the race. The company is worried about the bad publicity with a lawsuit but does not want to pay such a large settlement. Discuss the different types of alternative dispute resolution that could be used to avoid litigation.

Charges for lab tests are consistently higher at Valley View than other hospitals and have resulted in many complaints. Also, because of strict regulations on amounts reimbursed for lab tests, payments received from insurance companies and governmental units have not been high enough to cover lab costs. Mr. Fleming asked you to evaluate costs in the hospital's lab for the past month. The following information is available: a. Two types of tests are performed in the lab-blood tests and smears. During the past month, 900 blood tests and 3,300 smears were performed in the lab. b. Small glass plates are used in both types of tests.

A formal plan was approved. Diamond derives approximately 70% of its income from its human resources management practice. The Blue Division gets contracts to perform human resources management on an outsourced basis. The board decided to dispose of the division because of unfavourable operating results. Net income for Diamond was $89,320 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (after a charge for tax at 30% and after a writedown for the Blue assets).
