A department in the facility required 12,250 units of raw materials to produce a TV. The company is deciding wither to buy or make raw materials. The fixed and variable cost of building (manufacturing) the raw materials are $20,000 and $5, respectively. Also, the fixed and variable costs for buying the raw materials are $400 and $7, respectively. Use the breakeven analysis methods to decide if the company has to purchase or manufacture the raw materials.
Non of the above |
||
The company must purchase the raw materials |
||
The company must make the raw materials |
||
It will cost the company the same to make or buy the raw materials |

Q3. You have been selected to design a secondary wastewater treatment plant for a municipality in Amman of 15,000 people which has some industry that discharges wastewater to the municipal sewer system. The average daily wastewater flow is 2.1 MGD (million gallon/d) and the raw sewage entering the WWTP has an average BOD5 of 240 mg/L and average suspended solids of 260 mg/L.
Q4. What are the quantitative requirements for BOD5 and SS in wastewater discharges from secondary WWTPs? Hint:BOD5 and TSS in the effluent must be less than or equal to 30 mg/L based on a 30 day average, and ≥85% removal of both must be achieved

Assume that you are a consultant for a city or community that is trying to put in place a long-term sustainability plan. You are fully in charge of making sure that all the key stakeholders are invited, involved, engaged and heard throughout the process. On this Discussion Board, I would like you to comment on how you would go about ensuring that process. You may choose a state/city/community and environmental/socio-economic problem of your choice.

When boiling water, a hot plate takes an average of 7 minutes [min] and 25 seconds [s] to boil 150 milliliters [mL] of water. Assume the temperature in the lab is 72 degrees Fahrenheit [Superscript o Baseline Upper F]. The hot plate is rated to provide 592 watts [W]. If we wish to boil 150 milliliters [mL] of acetone using this same hot plate, how long do we expect the process to take? Acetone has a boiling point of 56 degrees Celsius [Superscript o Baseline Upper C]. [Hint: you must determine the efficiency of the hotplate.]
