Gonorrhea and chlamydia

-Why aren't there serological tests for gonorrhea or chlamydia that could be used for screening purposes?

-Why is it unlikely that there will be vaccines available for either of these diseases in the near future?

Samuelson and Messenger (SAM) began 2021 with 360 units of its one product. These units were purchased near the end of 2020 for $20 each. During the month of January, 180 units were purchased on January 8 for $23 each and another 360 units were purchased on January 19 for $25 each. Sales of 170 units and 270 units were made on January 10 and January 25, respectively. There were 460 units on hand at the end of the month. SAM uses a periodic inventory system. Required: 1. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold for January using FIFO. 2. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold for January using average cost.

NASA needs a solar sail for 3-unitCubeSat that will study near-Earth Asteroids. A CubeSat and Sails can weigh between 4-15-kg. This craft is supposed to sail for 2-3 years taking pictures of near-earth asteroids. It doesn’t need to travel fast but about 10-20 m/s. The sails are deployable for a set amount of time that you can arrange. The intensity of the sun is about 1.3 kW/m². You are to design the sail, you can choose the metallic coating, the shape of the sails and the dimensions to construct it. Recall that there is a reflection coefficient in radiation pressure, 1 for full absorption and 2 for full reflection.

1. You may have already noticed that the shape of your spectrophotometric titration curve is quite different than the shapes of the potentiometric titration curves which you have constructed in earlier experiments. Why? (HINT: Think about the mathematical relationships between pH and concentration and absorbance and concentration . . .).

2. When performing a potentiometric titration it is very important to make a large number of measurements near the endpoint, while for a spectrophotometric titration one actually ignores the measurements obtained near the endpoint. Explain.

3. In order for a photometric method to be used for a titration, what requirement(s) must be met by the titration system?

Despite having a near-monopolistic market position, poor management and operational practices have left the Nautical Boating Network Corporation (NBN Co for short) significantly underfunded and needing to raise more capital. Because of its monopolistic position, debt holders are willing to lend NBN an additional $100 million, at a 1% premium to their current before-tax cost of debt of 4%. (This cost of debt of 5% will apply to all company debts after the debt raising). Even with its questionable management team, the additional debt is not expected to increase the risk of financial distress for NBN. The current market value of NBN’s assets are $300 million and the current Debt to Equity ratio is 0.5. NBN has a current cost of equity of 8% and is subject to a 30% corporate tax rate.

What is NBN’s current before-tax WACC?

If NBN’s unlevered cost of equity is currently 7.2%, what will be the new cost of equity after the debt raising?

12.00%

10.25%

11.00%

If NBN’s cost of equity after the debt raising is 10%, what will be the after-tax WACC after the debt raising?

Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Direct labor-hours required to support estimated production 120,000 Machine-hours required to support estimated production 60,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 336,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 3.60 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 7.20 During the year, Job 550 was started and completed. The following information is available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 206 Direct labor cost $ 238 Direct labor-hours 15 Machine-hours 5 Required: 1. Assume that Landen has historically used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with direct labor-hours as the allocation base. Under this approach: a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550. c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550? 2. Assume that Landen’s controller believes that machine-hours is a better allocation base than direct labor-hours. Under this approach: a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550. c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550?
