Fixed expenses are $147,000 per month. the company is currently selling 2,000 units per month. the marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. the marketing manager has proposed a commission of $13 per unit. in exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their salaries of $22,000 per month. (this is the company's savings for the entire sales staff.) the marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 400 units. what should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
