(a) Generally, you have four types of unit cell
arrangements like 1. Simple cubic 2. Face centered 3. Body-centered
4. Base centered. Can you calculate the number of atoms in each
cubic cell? For example, a simple cubic has 1 atom, base-centered
has 2 atoms, body-centered has 2 atoms and face-centered has 4
atoms. Explain how these cubic units 1 – 4 have a specified number
of atoms.
(b) You have two types of glass solids, both have a cooling rate of
20 oC/s (degree per second) and 40 oC/s. Both have a glass
transition temperature 1200 oC, which of them would solidify first,
and which one is an easy glass former?

27) A preliminary stage cost driver links costs of resources
consumed in an activity
center to:
1. batch-level activities
2. products
3. cost functions
4. focused factories
5. other activity centers
28)In the step method of service center allocation, the number
of allocation steps equals
the number of:
1. activities performed in all operating departments.
2. service centers.
3. operating departments.
4. service centers plus operating departments.
5. activities performed in all service centers.
30)Activity based costing:
1. uses fewer cost drivers than volume based costing.
2. must have both a preliminary stage and a primary stage.
3. is applicable to the costing of services.
4. uses cost drivers that reflect volume, but not complexity.
5. overcosts high-volume products and undercosts low-volume
products.
