Imagine you could go back in time and give your childhood self a letter in which you explain your current view of the good and ethical life. Write a 3-4 page letter to your childhood self explaining your view of the Good in which you:
Identify at least one philosopher who might agree with your view of the Good. Explain that philosophical ethical theory and discuss how it compares to your own views.Discuss how another philosopher might disagree. For example, if you discuss deontology in support of your view, utilitarianism might be a good point of contrast. Virtue and care ethics are very similar, but it would be interesting to explore their differences as well.Support your account of the theories with citations to the textbook and online lectures in correct APA format.

Unit 7 Topic:
Read the Koeppel v. Speirs case study found in Chapter 15 of your textbook
readings this week.
Based on your review of the case study, consider the following:
The district court determined evidence of an actual, rather than attempted, intrusion was
required and granted summary judgment for the defendant. However, the court of
HRM341 – Employment Law
Unit 7 Assignment Forum
appeals reversed, finding the evidence of intrusion was sufficient to survive summary
judgment. Most businesses have some level of surveillance systems in place. Consider
how invasion of privacy and intrusion laws impact your practice as a Human Resources
Manager.
Based on your review of the case study, address surveillance and actual or perceived
intrusion of privacy in the workplace and its effect on the practice of HR.
Part 1
• Summarize the law or legal principle involved. (This can generally be done in one
paragraph.)
• Summarize the case or event. Share the important facts and highlights that are
important from a Human Resources practice perspective. (This can generally be
done with one or two short paragraphs.)
• Explain why the facts and highlights you chose were important for the practice of
HR.
Part 2
• List at least five ways this case or event might impact the practice of HR. (This is
a brainstorming activity. A bulleted list is fine for this.)
• Identify which of the five items is most important to HR. Provide an assessment
and analysis of that item, along with one directly related specific recommendation
for the HR team. The recommendation must be actionable, must be explained,
and must be supported with evidence from your readings and research.
(Keep in mind generic statements, broad ideas, unsupported personal opinions, and
merely repeating what is in this assignment description do not satisfy the assignment
requirements.)
This assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the law or
legal principles based on the case or event reviewed as it relates to the practice of HR.
This assignment is also your opportunity to demonstrate your critical thinking and
analytical skills by using the case or event as a catalyst to explore how HR practices

Question 2:
TechnoSide, Inc., manufactures and sells a unique electronic part. Operating results for the first three years of activity were as follows (absorption costing basis):
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Sales
$ 1,500,000
$ 1,200,000
$ 1,500,000
Cost of goods
sold
$ 1,200,000
$ 840,000
$ 1,230,000
Gross margin
$ 300,000
$ 360,000
$ 270,000
Selling and
administrative expenses
$ 255,000
$ 225,000
$ 300,000
Net operating income (loss)
$ 45,000
$ 135,000
$ (30,000)
Sales dropped by 20% during Year 2 due to the entry of several foreign competitors into the market. TechnoSide had expected sales to remain constant at 100,000 units for the year; production was set at 100,000 units in order to build a buffer of protection against unexpected spurts in demand. By the start of Year 3, management could see that spurts in demand were unlikely and that the inventory was excessive. To work off the excessive inventories, TechnoSide cut back production during Year 3, as shown below:
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Production in units
100,000
120,000
80,000
Sales in units
100,000
80,000
100,000
Additional information about the company follows:
1. The company’s plant is highly automated. Variable manufacturing costs (direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead) total only $4 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead costs total $500,000 per year.
2. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are applied to units of product on the basis of each year’s production (units produced). That is, a new fixed overhead rate is computed each year.
3. Variable selling and administrative expenses are $2 per unit sold. Fixed selling and administrative expenses total $90,000 per year.
TechnoSide’s management can’t understand why profits tripled during Year 2 when sales dropped by 20%, and why a loss was incurred during Year 3 when sales recovered to previous levels.
Required:
1. Compute the unit product cost in each year under:
a) Absorption costing (Show how much of this cost is variable and how much is fixed)
b) Variable costing
2. Prepare a contribution format variable costing income statement for each year.
3. Refer to the absorption costing income statements, reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes for each year.
4. Refer again to the absorption costing income statements, explain why net operating income was higher in Year 2 than it was in Year 1 under the absorption approach, in light of the fact that fewer units were sold in Year 2 than in Year 1.
5. Refer again to the absorption costing income statements, explain why the company suffered a loss in Year 3 but reported a profit in Year 1, although the same number of units was sold in each year.
6. Assume that the company must obtain additional financing. As a member of top management, which of the income statements above would you prefer to take with you to negotiate with the creditor? Why?
Note: You can use Microsoft Excel software to prepare income statement and other calculations.
