Cost of Production Report

The Cutting Department of Karachi Carpet Company provides the following data for January. Assume that all materials are added at the beginning of the process.

a. Prepare a cost of production report for the Cutting Department. If an amount is zero or a blank, enter in "0". For the cost per equivalent unit computations, round your answers to two decimal places.

b. Compute and evaluate the change in the costs per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion from the previous month (December). If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

We want to count how many passing grades are entered. We don’t know how many grades there will be. Use a sentinel controlled while loop that will ask the user to enter student grades until a value of -1 is entered. Use a counter variable to count all the grades that are passing grades, where 70 is the minimum passing grade. If there are any grades that are out of the range 0 – 100, present an error message to the user, and do not count that grade as passing. We also would like to see what percentage of the valid grades are passing.

the role of materiality as it is related to fraud. Compare and contrast how you think the idea of materiality would impact both civil and criminal cases?

1. Bradley Corporation's required rate of return is 14%. The company has an opportunity to be the exclusive distributor of a very popular consumer item. No new equipment would be needed, but the company would have to use one-fourth of the space in a warehouse it owns. The warehouse cost $200,000 new. The warehouse is currently half-empty and there are no other plans to use the empty space. In addition, the company would have to invest $100,000 in working capital to carry inventories and accounts receivable for the new product line. The company would have the distributorship for only 5 years. The distributorship would generate a $17,000 annual net cash inflow. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.)
   
   
   What is the net present value of the project? What is the project’s internal rate of return?

Please show all steps.

1. List and briefly explain
   1. Four costs associated with expected inflation
   2. Suppose that Brazil is in a state of hyperinflation. If the goal of the Brazilian Central Bank is to stabilize the price level, explain carefully what path the money supply should follow. (Assume that money demand depends on the nominal interest rate). Assuming that the Central Bank’s policy is successful, show and briefly explain the path of the price level, the inflation rate, the nominal interest rate, the money supply, and the level of real balances both during and after the hyperinflation.

Some states and cities have or have plans to raise the minimum wages to $15/hour. In July, the House of Representatives passed legislation to raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hour. There also have been many protests (especially in the fast food industry) over the past 2 years about setting a $15 minimum wage. Amazon has raised its minimum wage to $15, Target plans to have a $15 starting wage by 2020, WalMart is working toward $15, and Senator Sanders (Vermont) has been pressuring companies to raise their minimum wages to $15/hour. Discuss and analyze the economic implications about this topic. How does the political aspect of the debate affect the economic analysis?

soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean and are assuming that the population standard deviation for the number of soft drinks consumed each week is 1. The study found that for a sample of 898 adults the mean number of soft drinks consumed per week is 6.4. Construct the desired confidence interval. Round your answers to one decimal place.

As inventor claims that there is a steady flow device which can process an ideal gas at constant temperature and pressure and produce useful work. Would you believe this claim??

As a facilities supervisor, you would like to be able to estimate maintenance costs using machine hours as the cost driver. To do this, you perform a linear regression with machine hours as the independent (X) variable, and maintenance costs as the dependent (Y) variable. This results in the following output:

A. What percentage of the variation in maintenance costs can be explained by machine hours?

B. How much maintenance cost should we expect if a factory has zero (0) machine hours?

C. By how much should we estimate maintenance costs to increase for every one hour increase in machine hours?

Label and place your final answer for A-C.

1. Express 2.5M NaCl as a percent solution.

What is the molar concentration of a 10% NaCl solution?

2. from a 1M Tris solution, how is a 400ml of 0.2M Tris is prepared?

3. What is the molarity of a solution of sucrose that has a density of 1.24 g/ml and a molecular weight of 342.3 g/mol.

4. Forty micoliters of a stock solution of RNA is diluted with water to give a final volume of 1000 microliters. The diluted sample has an absorbance at 260nm of 0.142. What is the concentration of the concerntration of the RNA stock solution in micro grams/milliliter.

5. from a small culture, you have purified the DNA of a rocombinant plasmid. You have resuspended the DNA in a volume of 50 microliter. You dilute 20 of the purified DNA sample into a total volume of 1000 microliter distilled water. You measre the absorbance of this diluted sample at 260 nm and 280 nm and obtain the following readings.

A260=0.550

A280=0.324

a. What is the DNA concentration of the 50microliter plasmid prep?

b. How much total DNA was purified by the plasmid preparation?

c. What is the A260/A280 ratio of the purified DNA?
