Answer:
Beau's decision to tell somebody about his company's actions is an example of: whistle blowing
Explanation:
Ethics is the study of moral human behavior. Ethical behavior usually varies with different areas. What is considered ethical is always subject to the cultural standards of that particular place. In a company environment, there are ethical standards that are supposed to be met on the part of the company and also individuals working in the company.
One major ethical standard that companies must maintain is environmental protection. This is more prevalent in manufacturing companies that have to release toxic waste to the environment in the form of fumes to the atmosphere or liquid waste to rivers and water bodies. The environment is used by all living beings and therefor it needs to be protected. Ethical standards dictate that industrial waste should be kept below toxic levels before being released into the environment.
It is also ethical for any individual working in a company and has information about unethical practices of a company to publicly expose the company so that they can be held accountable for their actions. This is referred to as whistle blowing. Beau's decision to inform a newspaper reporter about the actions of the company in destroying the environment is an example of whistle blowing. Her decision is a typical example of ethical behavior.
Answer:
They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.
Explanation:
The formulation of the linear programming is:
Objective function:
Restrictions:
- High-grade ore: 
- Medium-grade ore: 
- Low-grade ore: 
- No negative hours: 
We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.
In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.
In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.
Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.
(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).
The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.
The cost function graph is attached.
Electronic Profiling is your answer. I hope I helped:)
