You have been asked to experimentally determine the Calorie (1 Calorie = 1000 calories) values of various desserts. You realize that a combustion reaction is analogous to the digestive reaction occurring during metabolism and the amount of energy released from combustion will tell us how much nutritional energy we can expect from the food. You then need to apply the principles of calorimetry to measure the energy released by the desserts upon combustion.

After some research, you discover that calorimetry of combustion reactions is performed in an instrument called a bomb calorimeter, which is shown below. The name “bomb” refers to the inner chamber of the calorimeter that can withstand great increases in pressure.

1.What would happen to the coffee cup if you used it for a combustion reaction?

Hint: For automatic grading purposes, limit your answer to one word.

2. While using a coffee cup calorimeter for a combustion reaction, water in the reaction would ___________ ["not matter", "be a problem"] . This is because water ___________ ["would also need to be burned", "would absorb the energy from the reaction"]         .

3.The main ingredient in the desserts you will be studying is sugar or sucrose. Look up the SDS for sucrose. Name one type of fire extinguisher should you have/use if the fire (combustion reaction) gets out of hand?

Hint: For automatic grading purposes, limit your answer to a single type of fire extinguisher. Do not include "fire extinguisher" or anything to that effect in your answer.

Johnson Company uses a job-order costing system and started the month of
March with three jobs in process. The cost of beginning work in process
plus the costs added during March are shown below:

                                   Job #1        Job #2        Job #3
beginning work in process .....    $4,930        $4,970        $2,840

COSTS ADDED DURING MARCH:
direct materials ..............    $3,400        $4,200        $4,600
direct labor ..................    $5,000        $4,000           ?

Johnson applies overhead to jobs based on a percentage of direct materials
used. During March, Johnson completed both Job #2 and Job #3. Job #1 was
not completed by the end of March. Job #2 consisted of 1,700 units; some
of these units were sold during March. None of the units from Job #3 were
sold in March. Johnson Company's accounting records for March disclosed
the following information:

Work in process inventory balance at March 31 ..........  $15,880
Actual overhead cost for the month of March ............  $ 8,500
Cost of goods sold for March ...........................  $11,830
Finished goods inventory balance at March 31 ...........  $18,870

The cost of goods sold number above represents the cost of goods sold for
March after the overhead variance has been closed for March.

Calculate the number of units from Job #2 that were sold during March.
Simply enter your answer as a number. Do not type the word units after
your answer.

Read the following scenario - I ask each of you to make up a parody (funny imitation, like Weird Al does) of the song "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams.

One of you comes up with a GREAT version and as our next class project we decide to create a corporation, with each of us as equal shareholders. We work together to see if we can produce and post a financially successful video. Next thing you know we are the biggest thing since "Gangham Style" (currently at 3.4 BILLION hits, don't ask me why!). We quickly exceed 100 Million hits for which we earn a penny a piece. So we now have $1,000,000 to split 35 ways and that number is only going to increase.

SAD NEWS: We get a letter from the lawyer for Thicke and Williams saying we have violated their clients' intellectual property rights and they want two-thirds of the money we've made (and will continue to make) off the song. We don't want to share!  

1. Construct an approximately 125-word argument (it can be more, but much less would not be good) as if you are representing Thicke and Williams, clearly outlining what right they have to "our" money (be sure to talk about the specific area of law, how their right was acquired, what protection they are entitled to, and what damages they could be entitled to).

The Lawnpoke Golf Association (LGA) has established rules that manufactures of golf equipment must meet for their products to be acceptable for LGA events. BatOutaHell Balls uses proprietary process to produce balls with mean distances of 295 yards. BatOutaHell is concerned that is the mean distance falls below 295 yards, the word will get out and sales will sage. Further, if the mean distance exceeds 295 yards, their balls may be rejected by LGA. Measurements of the distances are recorded in DATA. At ∝ =0.05, test the no action hypothesis that the balls have a mean distance of 295 yards.

Yards 293 275 280 290 273 306 287 301 309 285 274 282 294 283 304 297 294 290 283

A.The test statistic is 3.003 and the critical value is 1.734, therefore the test statistic is greater than the critical value of 1.734 and the null hypothesis is rejected. The distance is not 295 yards

B. The test statistic is 1.297 and the critical value is 1.734, therefore the test statistic is less than the critical value of 1.734 and the null hypothesis is not rejected. The distance is about 295 yards

C. The test statistics is 2.238 is greater than the critical value is 1.734, therefore H0 is rejected. It is reasonable to assume that the distance is not 295 yards.

D. The test statistic is 1.908 is greater than the critical value is 1.734, therefore H0 is rejected. It is reasonable to assume that the distance is not 295 yards.

Supply chain integration is a major contributing factor to organizational success. The goal of supply chain integration is alignment within the supply chain. As a business leader, how can you achieve greater supply chain integration with suppliers and customers?

Amazon is a prime example of a company that has successfully managed its supply chain to achieve growth and profitability. Research the progression of Amazon's supply chain integration. Write a 1,000-1,250-word paper that address the following questions:

How do sales and operations planning in supply chain integration impact the company overall? What would Amazon's medium- and long-term forecast inform the operations management department? How do logistics, transportation modes, and warehouse locations impact Amazon's competitiveness?

How does global sourcing and procurement impact the overall effectiveness of the supply chain? What are the benefits and challenges that have occurred when outsourcing logistic and other functions?

How has Amazon successfully leveraged e-commerce strategies to promote supply chain integration and boost sales and growth for the organization? Which strategies have been particularly effective and why?

Do you feel that Amazon sets an example for other companies to model regarding supply chain integration? Be sure to explain your rationale. Consider the ethical implications in your response.

Incorporate five to seven resources to support your paper.

In its user service agreement, Facebook includes a forum selection clause that requires users with legal disputes to file any lawsuits against Facebook in courts physically located near its northern California corporate headquarters. Review the discussion of this issue in your textbook (Legal Strategy 101, pp. 100-101); then, analyze the following questions:

1. Is forum shopping ethical? What are you using as your ethical standard?
2. Should courts enforce forum selection clauses in business-to-consumer contracts like the Facebook user agreement? Why or why not?
3. Suppose Facebook did not have a forum selection clause in its user agreement. Would Facebook be subject to the jurisdiction of every state court in the United States, since it has millions of users in every U.S. state?

This assignment requires that you analyze both a legal concept (forum shopping) and its application in a business contract (forum selection clause). Read the course material and the assignment carefully, and do not confuse or conflate the two.

Refer to the Assignment Instructions folder of the course for general directions and grading rubrics for Discussion Boards, including requirements for word length, scholarly sources, and integration of a Biblical worldview.

Use the words "Ethical" or "Not Ethical" in the subject line of your thread to identify your conclusion. Do not use attachments, as these are cumbersome and inhibit the discussion process.
