In its heyday, Consolidated Electric was an industry leader in the wages and benefits that it paid its employees. Their pension plan was among the best in the business. Additionally, when employees retired, the company continued to pay their premiums for participation in the corporate health insurance plan. In recent years, health insurance premiums soared, while Consolidated’s profits declined as a result of foreign competition and the need to make major investments in plant and equipment.

The Board is considering whether to discontinue health insurance benefits for retirees. The VP of Human Resources points out that many retirees depend on this company benefit and might not be financially capable of obtaining alternative insurance at their own expense. She argues that at the very least, the company is ethically obligated to continue benefits for current retirees. The CFO counters that Consolidated’s first priority is its shareholders, who expect profits to be maximized.

Explain Consolidated’s legal and/or ethical obligation to continue the health insurance benefits for retirees.

A project plan cannot be considered complete until the resources have been assigned (including budget and cost estimate). This week, you will assign the resources required to work on your project to your scheduled tasks. In addition, you will add the cost of the resources per hour and any direct or indirect cost required for project contracts, materials, or supplies.

You will submit a two-part summary report (business professional format) of your project budget and resources, which includes the following:

Part 1: Project Budget (Cost Management)

Create a table that shows the original budgeted cost (from the charter) and the actual budgeted cost (side by side). Include line items for labor, materials, contract, equipment, travel cost, and so on.
Compare the budget from the charter to the final budget and explain any variances that occurred from your original budgeted cost in the project charter and the current project cost (include your original estimated cost for the project).
Explain your budget contingency plan and how much is budgeted for contingency.

Part 2: Resource Management

Explain the results of your resource assignments. Did you assign enough people to the project? Were there any resources over-allocated? What approach will you take to fix any allocation problems?
