Select one of the scenarios listed below and explain the best solution for each. Include comments related to any ethical issues that arise. You should locate at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library or one case that has been decided or is currently pending to support your answer.Scenario 1 - BriberyCaterpillar, Inc. purchased four diesel engines from a manufacturer in Japan. The engines were needed immediately as replacements so that the crews could get back to work. The import manager knew that the engines did not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards, but hoped that the U.S. Customs officers would not inspect the engines. The customer service manager threatened to call Customs and tell them that he paid their salary and they darn well better release the goods now. The Customs officer explained that they were very busy, and it might take more than 24 hours to obtain release of the engines. When informed of this fact, the import manager offered the customs official $500 to sign off on the documents.Analyze the legal and ethical ramifications of the purchasing manager's offer to the customs official.Assume that the goods were not being inspected. Would it make a difference if the purchasing manager offered to donate $500 to Ronald McDonald House Charities if the officer expedited the paperwork necessary to release the goods from custom's custody?Scenario 2 - Regulation of CompetitionA famous comedian indicated on Facebook that the Apple iPhone was his favorite cell phone. After the comment, sales of iPhones increased 35 percent. Since demand outpaced supply, Apple decided not to sell any more phones unless an additional tablet was purchased. A competitor informed the Office of the Attorney General of this policy, asserting it was illegal. Explain the legal basis for the complaint and decide which party will prevail.Scenario 3 - Antitrust LawsOmnicon, Inc. and Drummond, Ltd are competitors selling similar lawn equipment in the states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Omnicon and Drummond agree that Omnicon will no longer sell equipment in South Carolina and Georgia and Drummond will no longer sell equipment in Alabama and Florida.Have Omnicon and Drummond violated any antitrust laws? Explain why or why not.Part 2 - Federal Administrative AgenciesSelect one federal administrative agency and provide a summary of the purpose and types of activities the agency regulates.

ACTIVITY/TASKThe Quick-Stop Hotel ChainQuick-Stop Hotels is a small hotel chain located along on the north coast of New South Wales. This chain consists of five different hotel complexes located several hours drive apart along the main coastal highway between Sydney and Brisbane.Their prime target market is the family segment. This is because families often choose to drive from Sydney to Brisbane (or Brisbane to Sydney) and back again for their holidays. As this trip is around a 12-hour drive, many travelers choose to stop overnight in order break up their journey. Therefore, Quick-Stop has deliberately chosen popular stopover towns for their hotels.In line with this location strategy, they promote themselves with the slogan, “the “perfect place for a break”.Their individual hotels vary a little in quality, but all have either a 3 or a 4 star rating. This means that they are either medium (3 star) or good (4 star) quality in terms of facilities and general standard of accommodation. On average, they each have around 80 rooms and a fairly broad range of facilities (that is, a heated swimming pool, room service, restaurant and bar, a kid’s club during school holidays, a small gym, and some have tennis courts and a couple of stores).In terms of promotion, they are heavy outdoor (billboard) advertisers on the coastal highway. They also advertise in various holiday and travel directories, and on the government tourism website.As you can see from the table below, they vary pricing throughout the year. Pricing is generally used as a tool to increase demand in the low season and to increase revenue in the high season. This is necessary as they have highly seasonal demand, being frequently being booked out over the Christmas holiday period, and with very high demand in other school holiday periods.The table also shows the results of a customer satisfaction survey for Quick-Stop Hotels. On average, 80% of customers indicated that they were satisfied with their stay and 10% were delighted with their stay. However, 10% indicated they were dissatisfied. These figures vary by season, whether the customer was a first-time customer, and by the quality of the individual hotel. Additionally, the table includes information on average room rates (per night) and occupancy levels. (Note: The occupancy level is the percentage of rooms occupied per night.)AverageLow SeasonHigh Season1st TimeCustomersRepeatCustomers3-star locations4-star locationsDelighted customers10%20%5%25%5%10%20%Satisfied customers80%70%75%60%90%70%70%Dissatisfied customers10%10%20%15%5%20%10%Average Room Price$120$75$160$140$100$100$140Occupancy Level80%50%100%N/AN/A85%75%QUESTIONSReview the customer satisfaction information.
