John R. Park was president of Acme Markets, Inc., a national food chain headquartered in Philadelphia with 36,000 employees and

16 warehouses. In 1970, the FDA found problems with rodent infestation at Acme’s Philadelphia warehouse facility. In 1971, the FDA found the same conditions in Acme’s Baltimore warehouse. In 1972, the FDA’s chief of compliance wrote to Park and asked that he direct his attention to the prolonged problems of warehouse infestation. The FDA inspected the Baltimore warehouse two months after Park was sent the letter and found the same problems. Acme and Park were both charged with violations of the Pure Food and Drug Act. DECISION BELOW: Park was convicted and fined $500. The Court of Appeals reversed. ISSUE ON APPEAL: Was Park liable for the warehouse problems when subordinates had been ordered to remedy the situation? DECISION: Yes.

Explanation:

Beginning Work in progress     $15,000       $8,000

Units started                               $60,000      $38,500

Answer:

Approximately after 15 years the population will reach 620,000

Explanation:

Population at start : 310,000

Rate by which the population is increasing: 4.5%

Population after n years is calculated under the next equation:

P=Po(1+r)∧n

620,000=310,000(1+ 0.045<u>)</u>∧n

2= (1+ 0.045<u>)</u>∧n

log(2)=nlog (1+ 0.045<u>)</u>

<u>log(2)</u>=nlog (1.045)

log(2)/log(1.045)=n

n= 15
