Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 9%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $109 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 9% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $32,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $32,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 7%.

1. company: AGL energy. prepare a presentation to the CEO of the organisation (AGL Energy) discussing i) the limits of the 2018 IFRS Conceptual Framework and ii) how the integrated reporting/sustainability report addresses some of the limits of the 2018 IFRS Conceptual Framework by providing relevant examples from the organisation you selected.

1) The Economy cannot be considered fully employed unless the measured unemployment rate is below 1%. Agree or disagree and explain your answer in a paragraph. What is the current actual u-rate for the US economy as of September Data for 2020? Is this unemployment rate below or above or equal to u-rate at full employment (usually called natural rate of unemployment or NAIRU)? What state of the economy do you consider from this u-rate for Sep 2020 (recession, depression or inflation?) and its sources?

2) A) Why would you expect the inflation rate to accelerate if the actual unemployment rate declined to a level lower than the "full employment" unemployment rate (NAIRU) and remained at that low level for a year or longer? Explain your answer in a few
sentences.

.

B) Draw an AS/AD diagram illustrating your answer to part (A) and refer to the current state of the economy of the US to compare in this context. Be sure to label all lines and axes in your diagram clearly.

3) Suppose between Q1, 2018 and Q4, 2019 measured Output in the non- farm business sector increased by 3.6%. During this time period the unemployment rate fell from 4.6% to 3.7% and total hours worked in the nonfarm business sector increased by 3.8%.

What was the % rate of change in labor productivity over this period (Q1 2018 and Q2 2020)? Explain your answer briefly. (Hint: Labor productivity = Y/Labor hours; RGDP growth rate = Labor productivity growth plus and Labor Force Growth rate. No need to use u-rate changes for this question)

You hear about an opportunity for a process engineer with a company that is starting a new commercial plant to produce ethanol from hybrid poplar trees. You apply and soon get called for an interview!

As a good candidate for the position, you do your own search about the company before visiting it, and find out that their current process uses direct fermentation of sugars to obtain ethanol. They are heavily considering an alternative option, though, which employs fermentation of sugars to acetic acid, followed by hydrogenation of the acetic acid to produce ethanol. The article you read about this only mentions that this alternative “reduces carbon emissions”.

As it turns out, during the interview you are asked to provide a detailed, technical opinion about each one of these two routes. Specifically, you are asked about the challenges involved in separation: in one case, you need to separate ethanol from water after fermentation, in the other case you need to separate acetic acid from water after fermentation. You remember the concepts you learned in class about multiphase, multicomponent systems and attempts to answer the following questions: How would you design a system for separation in each case? What type of separation? What would be the challenges involved?

In addition, your response could include other aspects such as the stoichiometry of each reaction, and potential energy requirements. Be as quantitative as possible.
