Misty cumbie worked as a waitress at the vita café in portland, oregon. the café was owned and operated by woody woo, inc. woody woo paid its servers an hourly wage that was higher than the state’s minimum wage (which was higher than the federal minimum wage), but the servers were required to contribute their tips to a "tip pool." approximately one-third of the tip-pool funds went to the servers, and the rest was distributed to kitchen staff members, who otherwise are not considered tipped employees. misty sued the employer and alleged that the tip-pooling arrangement violated the minimum wage provisions of the fair labor standards act. does it? explain.

10. in this case, the court likely will find for (woody woo, inc./ misty cumbie/ kitchen staff members)

assume woody woo decided to pay its servers and kitchen staff the legal minimum wage for a tipped employee (which is less than the required state minimum wage) plus tips received from the tip-pool funds. under the fair labor standards act, employers can require employees to pool their tips for "redistribution" among tipped employees to ensure that all tipped employees make at least the minimum wage and are treated fairly.

11. if woody woo, inc. pays the lower salary plus tips and then creates a tip pool where the servers’ tips are split among the servers and kitchen staff, this (does not violate/ violate) the flsa.

12. with these facts, the court most likely would find for(woody woo, inc./ misty cumbie/ kitchen staff members).

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.
