Mercer Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. There has...

Mercer Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. There has been a long-simmering dispute between the company’s estimator and the work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimators do not adequately distinguish between routine work such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes and nonroutine work such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: “My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square footage by $2.80 to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $2.31 per square foot, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up. Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart.”

To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its costs. Data from the activity-based costing system follow:

Activity Cost Pool                Activity Measure Total Activity           
  Removing asbestos Thousands of square feet 800 thousand square  feet
  Estimating and job setup Number of jobs 500 jobs
  Working on nonroutine jobs Number of nonroutine jobs 100 nonroutine jobs
  Other (costs of idle capacity and
     organization-sustaining costs)
None

Note: The 100 nonroutine jobs are included in the total of 500 jobs. Both nonroutine jobs and routine jobs require estimating and setup.

  Costs for the Year
  Wages and salaries $ 360,000
  Disposal fees 765,000
  Equipment depreciation 98,000
  On-site supplies 57,000
  Office expenses 270,000
  Licensing and insurance 470,000

Wages and salaries $0
Disposal fees 0
Equipment depreciation 0
On-site supplies 0
Office expenses 0

2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools.
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate
Removing asbestos per thousand square feet
Estimating and job setup per job
Working on nonroutine jobs per nonroutine job

       

3.

Using the activity rates you have computed, determine the total cost and the average cost per thousand square feet of each of the following jobs according to the activity-based costing system. (Round the "Average cost" to 2 decimal places.)

   

a. A routine 1,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.
Total cost of the job
Average cost per thousand square feet

          

b. A routine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.
Total cost of the job
Average cost per thousand square feet

          

c. A nonroutine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.
Total cost of the job

1. Calculating inflation using a simple price index

Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student’s annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2017.

Perform these same calculations for 2018 and 2019, and enter the results in the following table.

Quantity in Basket

Suppose the base year for this price index is 2017.

In the last row of the table, calculate and enter the value of the CSPI for the remaining years.

Between 2017 and 2018, the CSPI increased by    . Between 2018 and 2019, the CSPI increased by .

Which of the following, if true, would illustrate why price indexes such as the CSPI might overstate inflation in the cost of going to college? Check all that apply.

A new type of personal transporter, which made it easier to get around places like university campuses, became available for purchase.

Professors required each student to buy eight textbooks, regardless of the price.

The quality of textbooks increased dramatically from 2017 to 2019, with textbook companies bundling new online study aids with their books, but this quality change is hard to measure.

As the price of energy drinks increased relative to the price of coffee between 2017 and 2019, students decreased their consumption of energy drinks and increased their consumption of coffee.

Please show how to Graph the Vector Sets. And Solve for it analytically.

Part A: Experimental Determination of the Equilibrant-

  1. Obtain three sets of vectors, two sets of two and one set of three.
  2. Use a scale of 1 cm = 10 g. For example, a vector of magnitude 5 cm would be represented by a hanging mass of 50g (5 cm x 10 g/1 cm = 50 g). Record each set of vectors below.

Set 1

A  100  g @    0    °

Set 2

A  100  g @   0       °

Set 3

A 100   g @  0   °

B  100   g @ 90    °

B  80  g @    45     °

B 80    g @ 90  °

C 200   g @ 225  °

  1. Record the value of the equilibrant, mass and angle.

Equilibrant: 142       g @     225      _ for set 1 (Vectors A and B)
Equilibrant:  166              g @  200         _ for set 2 (Vectors A and B)
Equilibrant:     76           g @    60        _ for set 3 (Vectors A, B and C)

Part B: Graphical Determination of Equilibrant-

  1. Using the first set of vectors, graphically add the two vectors (using graph paper) to find the resultant.
  2. From the resultant, determine the equilibrant. Refer to page 41.
  3. Record your results:

Equilibrant:   g @ _ for set 1 (Vectors A and B)
Equilibrant:    g @ _ for set 2 (Vectors A and B)
Equilibrant:   g @ _ for set 3 (Vectors A, B and C)

Part C: Analytical (Mathematical) Addition of Vectors-

  1. Calculate the x and y components of each of your vectors and record in the following table.
  2. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant R and equilibrant E.
