Honda Motor Company has discovered a problem in the exhaust system of one of its automobile lines and has voluntarily agreed to make the necessary modifications to conform to government safety requirements. Standard procedure is for the firm to pay a flat fee to dealers for each modification completed. Honda is trying to establish a fair amount of compensation to pay dealers and has decided to choose a number of randomly selected mechanics and observe their performance and learning rate. Based on the results of this test, Honda decided to pay a $60 fee for each repair (3 hours × $20 per flat-rate hour).
Southwest Honda, Inc., is considering whether to participate in the program. If they can average three hours or less on each repair (what Honda is willing to pay them for), it will make sense for them to agree. They performed their own test repairs to help in their decision process. Six mechanics, working independently, have completed two modifications each. On average, the mechanics took 9 hours to do the first unit and 6.3 hours to do the second. The dealership expects to perform 300 such modifications, which works out to 50 modifications per mechanic, including the first two units already built. Use Exhibit 6.5.
On average, how many hours will it take Southwest Honda to perform each modification using all six mechanics as planned?

A Georgia state law requires the use of contoured rear-fender mudguards on trucks and trailers operating within Georgia state lines. The statute further makes it illegal for trucks and trailers to use straight mudguards. In approximately thirty-five other states, straight mudguards are legal. Moreover, in Florida, straight mudguards are explicitly required by law. There is some evidence suggesting that contoured mudguards might be a little safer than straight mudguards.
a. Discuss whether this Georgia statute violates any constitutional provisions.
b. State the law, define it apply it and make your conclusion. Richard is an employee of the Dun Construction Corp. While delivering materials to a construction site, he carelessly backs Dun's truck into a passenger vehicle driven by Green. This is Richard's second accident in six months.

Richard files a suit against Dun, alleging libel on the basis of the statements made in the letters. Discuss the results.

Problem 13-1 A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduction program. One possible reduction is the elimination of one inspection position. This position tests items for which the probability of a material defect averages 0.04. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 50 units per hour. The hourly rate including fringe benefits for this position is $9. If the inspection position is eliminated, defects will go into product assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $10 each when they are detected in final product testing. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the inspection rate) if the inspection operation was eliminated.

Required:
a. If the inspector position is eliminated, what will the hourly cost of defects be?
b. Should this inspection position be eliminated based on costs alone?
c. What is the cost to inspect each unit?
