This benchmark assignment assesses the following competency.
Competency 4.1: Define relevant laws and regulations that affect the business environment and how businesses operate.
The purpose of this assignment is to identify ethical issues associated with employee designations and to identify laws and federal regulations governing employment.
Review the Madrid and Berne scenario that you used as the basis for your Topic 6 discussion of the laws and federal regulations governing employment. Consider the ethical issues and dilemmas the scenario creates for Madrid and Berne and Joan Newman.
Scenario
Madrid and Berne is a top-rated accounting firm with offices in Phoenix and Tucson. Madrid and Berne wanted to provide bookkeeping as an additional service to its clients. It hired Joan Newman Business Services, with offices in Phoenix, Flagstaff, Tucson, and Yuma, to perform contract bookkeeping services for Madrid and Berne clients who requested and needed such services. Madrid and Berne entered into an independent contractor agreement with Joan Newman Business Services. The contract stated that Joan Newman is an independent contractor and agrees that her business is an independent contractor of Madrid and Berne.
After entering into the agreement, Joan worked solely on jobs assigned by Madrid and Berne and was paid a commission for the work. The commission was based upon the fees determined by Madrid and Berne and paid by the clients to Madrid and Berne. Joan was paid on a weekly basis. She used available and unused office space at Madrid and Berne, along with Madrid and Berne’s equipment and supplies. This arrangement made it easier for clients to utilize Joan’s services and be familiar with the offices. Madrid and Berne reviewed Joan’s work and returned faulty work to her for corrections before delivering the completed work to the clients.
Assignment
Consider and apply the feedback provided by your instructor regarding your discussion of the following in your Topic 6 assignment submission. Evidence of revision will be assessed and should be evident.
Provide an explanation of why it is important to know the distinctions between employees and independent contractors when operating a business.
Discuss the key factors for determining Joan’s employee classification using the concepts that have been presented so far in the course and your own research relevant to the scenario.
Using the rules for distinguishing between employee and independent contractor, discuss whether Joan’s designation as an independent contractor was correct, and justify your designation by citing laws and federal regulations.
In an additional 250-500 words, discuss the following from a Christian worldview perspective.
One ethical issue or dilemma the scenario presents for Madrid and Berne and strategies for addressing the issue or dilemma.
One ethical issue or dilemma the scenario presents for Joan Newman and strategies for addressing the issue or dilemma.
Submit the final 750-1,000 word analysis of the scenario to your instructor.

8.32 (LO 1) Identifying relevant costs and decision making It had been a quiet Monday morning for Anna Hogue, senior project manager at Flagstone Consulting. Everything seemed to be falling into place for the company’s first conference, “Healthcare Management in the New Millenium,” scheduled for October 11 and 12 in Boston. Then Ethan Tang, the staff consultant in charge of registration, stuck his head in the door.“Anna,” said Ethan, “I think we may have a problem with the conference. Only 10 people have registered. Our marketing consultants told us to expect at least a 3% registration rate from our direct mail campaign. Based on the 5,000 conference fliers we mailed, do you think another 140 people will register in the next three weeks?” Anna and Ethan had worked together to develop a budget for the conference, as follows. They had budgeted for registration response rates of 2%, 3%, and 4%, but a response rate of 0.3% was far outside their expectations. 8-46 CHAPTER 8 Using Accounting Information to Make Managerial Decisions2% Response Rate 3% Response Rate 4% Response RateTotalPer Attendee TotalPer Attendee TotalPer Attendee Registration fee income$69,500 $695 $104,250 $695 $139,000 $695ExpensesMeals 15,000 $150 22,500 $150 30,000 $150Conference materials 7,500 75 11,250 75 15,000 75Direct mail advertising 6,000 6,000 6,000Meeting room rental 4,500 4,500 4,500Equipment rental 500500 500Speaker fees: Newton 600600 600 Smith 2,000 2,000 2,000 Townsleya4,000 4,000 4,000Speaker travel: Newton 200200 200 Smith 1,200 1,200 1,200 Townsley 1,000 1,000 1,000 Comptonb 200 200 200Total expenses 42,700 53,950 65,200Net income$26,800$ 50,300$ 73,800aTownsley required a $1,000 deposit upon confirmation of the original conference date. The remaining $3,000 was due upon her arrival at the conference. In the event of cancellation, the $1,000 deposit was non-refundable.bCompton has agreed to speak for free.Anna thought for a second, and then replied, “Ethan, based on what the marketing firm told us, at least 75% of all registrations are received a month before the conference. This response has me a bit worried. If we need to cancel the conference, we must do it before Thursday. Otherwise, it will be too late.” Anna and Ethan called a couple of contacts at other organizations, who related similar experiences with low preconference registration. They indicated that medical professionals often wait until the last minute to register and that in some instances, conferences had been rescheduled and re-advertised to increase registration.Anna and Ethan decided they needed more information before they could make a final decision on the fate of the conference. Rescheduling it would require them to confirm the new dates with the speak-ers. Conference facilities would also need to be secured for the new dates. Fortunately, the conference materials had not been sent to the printer yet, so the printed materials would not become obsolete. Anna and Ethan decided that if the conference were rescheduled, Flagstone would offer a reduced registration fee of $595 to companies that sent more than one person.Anna called some of the Boston-area professionals who had expressed interest in the conference but had not registered yet. Some of them indicated that they had never received the registration mailing. After contacting the marketing firm about the matter, Anna learned that there had indeed been problems with the mailing. The marketing firm had subcontracted the mailing to a second firm, which could not verify that all the materials had been mailed. Anna wondered how many other prospects had not received the mailing.Next, Anna arranged a conference call with all the speakers, to explain what was going on. They agreed that the mailing problem could have contributed to the low registration. All the speakers were available on December 8 and 9, and were willing to change their schedules to accommodate Flagstone if the firm chose to reschedule the conference. Steve Smith indicated that he had already purchased a non-refundable airline ticket for $800. If the conference were rescheduled, he would incur an additional $100 charge to change the flight. William Townsley indicated that he was already scheduled to be in Boston on December 7, so Flagstone would not have to cover his travel expenses if the conference were rescheduled.Ethan called the University Parks Inn to discuss the facilities contract. Although Flagstone had made no payments to the hotel yet, the special events coordinator reminded Ethan of two points in the contract: 1. A cancellation fee of $10,000 would need to be paid if the conference were canceled at this late date. However, the inn would agree to waive the cancellation fee if the conference were rescheduled within four months of the original date. 2. Flagstone had guaranteed a minimum of 60 guest rooms. If conference attendees booked fewer rooms, Flagstone Ethan also contacted the marketing firm about doing additional mailings.

Collusion Working with one or more other individuals to complete an assignment, in a way that is not authorised. Copying Reproducing and submitting the work of another student, with or without their knowledge. If a student fails to take reasonable precautions to prevent their own original work from being copied, this may also be considered an offence. Impersonation Falsely presenting oneself, or engaging someone else to present as oneself, in an in-person examination. Contract cheating Contracting a third party to complete an assessment task, generally in exchange for money or other manner of payment. Data fabrication and falsification Manipulating or inventing data with the intent of supporting false conclusions, including manipulating images.
