Murphy has been turned down for a job as an ambulance driver because of her age, on the grounds that most individuals her age have certain health-related characteristics that legitimately exclude them from effective service as ambulance drivers. Murphy was never individually evaluated to determine whether she possessed the disqualifying characteristics.
A. Under the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Metz v. Transit Mix, Inc., Murphy has suffered age discrimination, because age-related health factors cannot, as a matter of law, be the basis of a BFOQ.
B. Under the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Western Air Lines, Inc. v. Criswell, Murphy has suffered age discrimination, because even legitimate, age-based job requirements are impermissible unless each applicant, or employee, as the case may be, has been evaluated for job fitness in light of the requirement.
C. Under the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Metz v. Transit Mix, Inc., Murphy has not suffered age discrimination, because age-related health factors can, as a matter of law, be the basis of a BFOQ.
D. Under the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Western Air Lines, Inc. v. Criswell, Murphy has not suffered age discrimination, because discrimination against individuals above a given age is permissible if, generally, such individuals are likelier to have a particular disqualifying trait, and it would be impractical to evaluate every individual above the given age to determine who did and who did not have the trait.

Ye Olde Bump \& Grind, Inc., is an automobile body and fender repair shop. Repair work is done by hand and with the use of small tools. Customers are billed based on time [direct labor hours] and materials used in each repair job. The shop's overhead costs consist primarily of indirect materials [welding materials, metal putty, and sandpaper], rent, indirect labor, and utilities. Rent is equal to a percentage of the shop's gross revenue for each month. The indirect labor relates primarily to ordering parts and processing insurance claims. The amount of indirect labor, therefore, tends to vary with the size of each job. Henry Lee, manager of the business, is considering using either direct labor hours or number of repair jobs as the basis for allocating overhead costs. He has estimated the following amounts for the coming year: | Estimated total overhead | $\$123,000$ | | :---: | :---: | | Estimated direct labor hours | 10,000 | | Estimated number of repair jobs | 300 | c. Discuss the results obtained in part $\mathbf{b}$. Which overhead application method appears to provide the more realistic results? Explain the reasoning behind your answer, addressing the issue of what "drives" overhead costs in this business.
