Hi, I need help with essay on Cases Involving Social Responsibility. Paper must be at least 750 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

h states, ‘Human service professionals negotiate with clients the purpose, goals, and nature of the helping relationship prior to its onset, as well as inform clients of the limitations of the proposed relationship’ (NOHSE, 1996). The committee would review the severity of the patient condition. Based on this, they would select the patients and negotiate with him regarding the helping relationship. Here they would require the patients to contribute to the Center in terms of monetary or non-monetary help. Monetary help would then help serve patients who do not have the funds available to seek treatment. In terms of non-monetary help, the center may request the client to serve as volunteers so that staff work pressure could be alleviated to some extent.

This case study presents a dilemma of the government’s involvement in the private life of the citizens. Here statement 13 of the NOSHE code will be applied, which states ‘Human service professionals act as advocates in addressing unmet client and community needs. Human service professionals provide a mechanism for identifying unmet client needs, calling attention to these needs, and assisting in planning and mobilizing to advocate for those needs at the local community level’ (NOHSE, 1996). Thus the mental health facility should be created in the proposed neighborhood to allow the patients their right to self-determination and well-being.

Along with this, to alleviate the concerns of the community, the center should keep in mind that according to statement 11 of the code, they should keep both the client and the community informed of the social issues. Therefore the center should periodically listen and address the problems of the community and make adjustments accordingly.

This case study presents a rather serious dilemma to the staffers. Legally, there are obliged to report the illegal immigrants and other offenders to the law officials. However, if they do so they would lose the trust that they have

All cases and problems must use Excel QM. ALL CALCULATIONS MUST BE SHOWN. 

Dawn Henlee, manager of the Hotel California, is considering how to restructure the front desk to reach an optimum level of staff efficiency and guest service. At present, the hotel has six clerks on duty, each with a separate waiting line, during the peak check-in time of 3:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. Observation of arrivals during this time show that an average of 90 guests arrive each hour (although there is no upward limit on the number that could arrive at any given time). It takes an average of 3 minutes for the front-desk clerk to register each guest. 

Dawn is considering three plans for improving guest service by reducing the length of time guests spend waiting in line. The first proposal would designate one employee as a quick-service clerk for guests registering under corporate accounts, a market segment that fills about 30% of all occupied rooms. Because corporate guests are preregistered, their registration takes just 2 minutes. With these guests separated from the rest of the clientele, the average time for registering a typical guest would climb to 3.4 minutes. Under plan 1, non-corporate guests would choose any of the remaining five lines.

The second plan is to implement a single-line system. All guests could form a single waiting line to be served by whichever of six clerks became available. This option would require sufficient lobby space for what could be a substantial queue. 

The third proposal involves using an automatic teller machine (ATM) for check-ins. This ATM would provide approximately the same service rate as a clerk would. Given that initial use of this technology might be minimal, Dawn estimated that 20% of customers, primarily frequent guests, would be willing to use the machines. (This might be a conservative estimate if the guests perceive direct benefits from using the ATM, as bank customers do. Citibank reports that some 95% of its Manhattan customers use its ATMs.) Dawn would set up a single queue for customers who prefer human check-in clerks. This would be served by the six clerks, although Dawn is hopeful that the machine will allow a reduction to five.

Discussion Questions

  1. Determine the average amount of time that a guest spends checking in. How would this change under each of the stated options?
  2. Which option do you recommend?

Chapter 12 Mini CaseImagine that you were hired recently as a financial analyst ofr a relatively new, highly leveraged ski manufacturere located in the foothills of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Your firm manufactures only one product, a state-of-the-art snow ski. The company has been operating up to this point without much quantative knowledge of the business and financial risks it faces.Ski season just ended, however, so the president of the company has started to focus more on the financial aspects of managin the business. He has set up a meeting next week with the CFO, Maria Sanchez, to discuss matters such as the business and the financial risks faces by the company.Accordingly, Maria has asked you to prepare an analysis to assist her in her discussion with the president. As a first step in your work, you compiled the following information regarding the cost structure of the company.Output Level 80,000 unitsOperating assets $4,000,000Operating assest turnover 8 timesReturn on operating assets 32%Degree of operating leverage 6 timesInterest expense $600,000Tax rate 35%As the next step, you need to determine the break-even point in units of output for the company. One of your strong points has been that you always prepare supporting work papers, which show how you arrived at your conclusions. You know Maria would like to see these work papers to facilitate her review of your work. Therefore, you will have the information you require to prepare an analytical income statement for the company. You are sure that Maria would also like to see this statement. In addition, you know that you need it to be able to answer the following questions. You also know Maria expects you to prepare, in a format that is presentable to the presidnet, answers to the following questions to serve as a basis for her discussions with the president.a. What is the frim’s break-even point in sales dollars?b. If sales should increase by 30 percent (as the president expects), by what percentage would EBT (earnings before taxes) and net incomes increase?c. Prepare another income statement, this time to verify the calculations from part (b).

Additive X plus

A researcher wanted to study the effect of a newly developed gasoline additive (Additive X) on automobile mileage (miles per gallon, MPG). To gather information, a random sample of cars has been selected and their gasoline mileages (MPG) have been determined. For each car, the MPG was measured both when gasoline without Additive X is used and when gasoline with Additive X is used. The order of the two treatments (with Additive X versus without Additive X) was randomized and care was taken so that there was no carry over effect between the two measurements. The 99% confidence interval for the average improvement in mileage μd (where the difference = MPG with Additive X less (or minus) MPG without Additive X) for the population of all such cars was found to be (0.5 MPG, 4.5 MPG).

Question 3 Subquestions

3.a0.5 point(s)

The margin of error of this interval is: 

  • 1
  • 1.5
  • 2
  • 2.5
  • 99
  • Cannot be determined since we do not know the sample size n.

3.b0.5 point(s)

Consider the following statement:

If we were to repeat this study many times, we would expect 99% of the resulting cars to have mileage improve by from 0.5 MPG to 4.5 MPG when using the new Additive X.

Is this a correct statement, and thus, could be used in the report summary?

  • Yes, this is a correct statement.
  • No, this is not a correct statement.

3.c0.5 point(s)

Consider the following statement:

With 99% confidence, we would estimate the mean improvement in mileage with the new Additive X to be between 0.5 MPG and 4.5 MPG for the population of all such cars.

Is this a correct statement, and thus, could be used in the report summary?

  • Yes, this is a correct statement.
  • No, this is not a correct statement.

3.d0.5 point(s)

Consider the following statement:

If we were to repeat this study many times, we would expect 99% of the resulting intervals to contain the sample mean improvement in mileage (with Additive X versus without Additive X).

Is this a correct statement, and thus, could be used in the report summary?

  • Yes, this is a correct statement.
  • No, this is not a correct statement.

3.e0.5 point(s)

A competitor’s fuel additive had an established average improvement in mileage of 1 MPG. The researcher would like to use the confidence interval to test the hypotheses H0: μd = 1 MPG versus the alternative Ha: μd ≠ 1 MPG, at a 1% level of significance. 

Here the parameter μdμ represents the mean improvement in mileage (with Additive X versus without Additive X) for the population of all such cars (i.e., the researcher is testing the hypotheses whether the population mean mileage improvement with Additive X is different from that with the competitior’s fuel additive). 

What would be her decision?

  • reject the null hypothesis
  • fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • cannot be determined

3.f0.5 point(s)

Another competitor’s fuel additive had an established average improvement in mileage of 1.2 MPG. The researcher would like to use the confidence interval to test the hypotheses H0: μd = 1.2 MPG versus the alternative Ha: μd ≠ 1.2 MPG, at a 10% level of significance. 

Here the parameter μd represents the mean improvement in mileage (with Additive X versus without Additive X) for the population of all such cars (i.e., the researcher is testing the hypotheses whether the population mean mileage improvement with Additive X is different from that with another competitior’s fuel additive). 

What would be her decision?

  • reject the null hypothesis
  • fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • cannot be determined

Question-3aMargin of error = (4.5-0.5)/2=2Question-3bNo, this is not a correct statement as if we repeat study many times than 99% of the interval contains the true mean.Question-3cNo, this is…
