Although the concept is often narrowly framed in terms of ethnic background, a broader and more useful definition of diversity includes "all the characteristics and experiences that define each of us as individuals".

Fyodor Corporation has a Parts Division that does work for other Divisions in the company as well as for outside customers. The company's Machine Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 8,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require $19.00 per unit in variable production costs.The Machine Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at $27.00 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the special part, the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the QR4 that it presently is producing. The QR4 sells for $34.00 per unit, and requires $18.00 per unit in variable production costs. Packaging and shipping costs of the QR4 are $2.00 per unit. Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be
only $0.50 per unit. The Parts Division is now producing and selling 40,000 units of the QR4 each year. Production and sales of the QR4 would drop by 5% if the new special part is produced for the Machine Division.Required:a. What is the range of transfer prices within which both the Divisions' profits would increase as a result of agreeing to the transfer of 8,000 special parts per year from the Parts Division to the Machine Division?b. Is it in the best interests of Fyodor Corporation for this transfer to take place? Explain. What will be an ideal response?
Effective Date of Coverage. Robert Gladney applied for disability insurance from Paul Revere Life Insurance Co, enclosing with the application a check for $3,100, which represented the first semiannual premium. The issuance of the policy was conditional
on the insurance company's receipt of a medical form that was to be completed by Gladney's doctor following a physical examination. Gladney was a busy man and kept putting off the physical examination. Over a month later, Gladney submitted a second application, because the first one was too old. The insurance agent advised Gladney to leave the application undated so that if Gladney failed to have the physical examination within a month, he would not have to submit yet a third application. Gladney told the agent that he would notify him when the examination was completed. Soon thereafter, Gladney fell ill. His doctor examined him but did not conduct all the tests normally required by Paul Revere for disability insurance. A month later, Gladney was hospitalized and underwent heart surgery. Gladney never told the insurance agent about his visit to the doctor and the fact that the doctor had examined him. Gladney now claims that he is entitled to disability benefits under the policy because he paid the premium and would have been approved for insurance had he notified the insurance company of his examination. Will the court agree? Discuss fully.
