Emergence of comparative negligence and comparative fault
With the emergence of comparative negligence and comparative fault, some states have eliminated assumption of risk as a defense. Does this mean that the plaintiff’s knowledge of the risk and his voluntary acceptance of it have no role to play in negligence law? Why or why not?

Coach Bags
Coach Bags is trying to determine the amount of each of three products to produce over the coming planning period. The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability.
Hours per unit Max Hrs
Prod – A Prod – B Prod – C Prod-D Available Department 1 60 25 35 50 2,500
Department 2 20 12 25 32 1,350
Department 3 25 18 20 27 1,800
Department 4 15 30 40 25 2,000
Profit Contribution $30 $15 $40 $25
In determining the profit contribution the management did not deduct the labor cost because they are fixed costs. However, we could schedule over time in each of the three departments. The maximum available overtime are as follows: 300 hours in dept-1, 220 hours in dept-2, 250 hours in dept-3 and 200 hours in dept-4. The labor rate for overtime is $18/hour in department 1, $24/hour in department 2, $15/hour in department 3, and $21/hour in department 4.
Formulate a LP model to maximize profit. Don’t ignore the availability of overtime and the associated costs.
What are the production schedule and the profit? Type the answers in the space provided.
Attach the computer output. Make sure it is formatted neatly, as otherwise you will lose points for sloppy presentation
(Hint: This problem is similar to golf bag problem. However, there is a twist – availability of over time that comes with a cost associated. To handle these kinds of problem, you would create additional decision variables to help you decide the OT to be scheduled in the four departments. We can do that with four variables, call them T1, T2, T3 and T4, representing the OT for the 4 departments. So your right hand side of the constraint will change – it will be the regular time plus over time. As an example, for department 1, the time available will be 2,500 hours plus T1. Watch for the proper units in time. Also, don’t forget to adjust your objective function profit by the money paid for OT.
3) Baldwin Wooster Corporation
Baldwin Wooster Company manufactures tractors. Currently it has two plants located in Berea and Phoenix, with capacities of 50,000 and 70,000. The tractors are shipped to following distribution centers showing associated demand. Boston – 50,000, Dallas – 70,000, Orlando – 40,000 and Portland – 80,000,
Because of anticipated increase in needs for the tractors, Baldwin is considering opening one to three new plants. Cities being considered are Atlanta, Omaha, and Tampa with capacities of plant capacities of 90,000, 60,000 and 70,000 respectively. Annual fixed and operating costs (in $000) associated with the new locations are: Atlanta $2,900, Omaha $1,400, & Tampa $2,200. Shipping cost per tractor is shown in the table below.
Shipping Cost $/tractor
Plant Boston Dallas Orlando Portland
Berea $25 $30 $33 $45
Phoenix $50 $22 $52 $18
Atlanta $26 $32 $15 $47
Omaha $38 $20 $45 $35
Tampa $24 $36 $12 $45
Develop an optimal distribution system. This problem is similar to the problem in the test.
Type the answers below in the space provided. What are the optimal schedule and the optimal cost? Where would you build the new plant(s)?
You must attach computer printout neatly formatted to fit on one page – landscape layout. You will lose points if this is not done neatly.

Communication Crisis Situation Assignment
Readthe following scenario: · In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor malfunctioned, releasing radiation into the environment. There were no immediate deaths or injuries resulting from the incident; however, the accident drew much media attention and created concerns in the local area and beyond. The major forms of communication used to report these events were the three major television networks and local radio stations. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area and immersed a significant part of the city in water.Local citizens and their families were affected. In contrast to the Three Mile Island incident, newer communication technologies, such as the Internet, were used to disseminate information. Today, you are the director of a regional Emergency Management Office. You begin receiving official reports that the public water supplies of several towns in the area have become contaminated with a life-threatening biological agent. Contingency plans must be addressed within the organization and with the public without creating a panic. Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper on essential communication in a community crisis situation described in the scenario. Includethe following in your paper: · The individuals or groups that will be communicating inside and outside the organization during this crisis situation · Potential advantages and challenges associated with communicating within the organization and with the public and private sectors during this crisis situation · Differences in communication processes used in crisis situations, including what you learned from the situations in the scenario and how you might incorporate that knowledge to improve health care communication strategies · Appropriate technology, such as social media, affecting communication during the crisis situation and how these technologies may be used to enhance communication · How technology might be used differently now than it was during the crisis situations described in the scenario · Media opportunities during this management crisis Cite a minimum of three sources, one from the University Library and another from the course textbooks or Electronic Reserve Readings, to support your position.
