A 3.3 kg object is pulled by 4 ropes. One rope is used to pull the object 15° North of East with a force of 25 N. A second rope pulls it due south with a force of 15 N. A third pulls the object 22° west of north with a 36 N magnitude. If the object is moving due west with a constant acceleration (a=1.0 m/s^2 ), describe the force (magnitude and direction) applied by the 4th rope.

ALG Co. is launching a new, innovative product onto the market and is trying to decide on the
right launch price for the product. The product’s expected life is three years. Given the high level
of cost which have been incurred in developing the product, ALG Co. wants to ensure that it sets
its price at the right and has therefore consulted a market research company to help it do this. The
research, which relates to similar but not identical product launch by other companies, has reveal
that at a price of Ghc 60, annual demand would be expected to be 250,000 units. However, for
every Ghc 2 increase in selling price, demand would be expected to fall by 2,000 units and for
every Ghc 2 decrease in selling price, demand would be expected to increase by 2,000 units.
A forecast of the annual production cost which would be incurred by ALG Co in relation to the
new product are as follows:
Annual production (units) 200,000 250,000 300,000 350,000
Ghc Ghc Ghc Ghc
Direct material 2,400,000 3,000,000 3,600,000 4,200,000
Direct labour 1,200,000 1,500,000 1,800,000 2,100,000
Overheads 1,400,000 1,550,000 1,700,000 1,850,000

Required:
a. Calculate the total variable cost per unit and total fixed overheads.

b. Calculate the optimum (profit maximizing) selling price for the new product and
calculate the resulting profit for the period.
Note: P = a – bx then MR = a – 2bx

The sales director is unconvinced that the sales price calculated in (b) above is the right one to
charge on the initial launch of the product. He believes that a price should be charged at the launch
so that those customers prepared to pay a higher price for the product can be skimmed off first.

Required:
Discuss the conditions which would make market skimming a more suitable pricing strategy for
ALG Co. and recommend whether ALG Co. should adopt this approach.

Just this part of the question is required with detailed explanation :

Paper Co. is a medium-sized manufacturer of sanitary tissue products based in New York. The
company has been in business for over 43 years, mainly producing toilet paper and paper towels
that are sold exclusively through its retail network across the United States. Through the years, it
has been gradually expanding its production capacity and consumer base. However, over the past
month and a half, the company has been faced with an unprecedented and unanticipated increase
in demand, which has cleared out all its storage facilities and exceeded its manufacturing
capabilities. At this time, the demand continues to be high.

The company has an existing storage facility, which can be converted to a new production line.
The new production line would significantly increase the existing manufacturing capabilities.
However, this would require a substantial investment in remodeling of the facility and
purchasing of expensive equipment from a producer in London, UK. To proceed with this
option, it would be also necessary for Paper Co. to obtain a loan from a local bank and hire
additional staff. It is estimated that it will take at least one month for the new production facility
to start producing.

Paper Co. leadership is faced with a dilemma. If they don’t expand the current capacity, they risk
losing the market share to competitors that are more flexible in adapting to higher demand. At
the same time, the expansion is very costly and the long-term demand is uncertain.
You are hired by Paper Co. as a consultant to help make the right business decision and to come
up with an action plan.

Part A

How would you recommend for Paper Co. to proceed? Should it stay with the same production
capacity or increase it as described above? Provide a detailed explanation of the rationale for your recommendation.

Part B

Please describe potential challenges Paper Co. could be facing as a result of the decision made in
Part A:
1) One month from now
2) Three months from now
3) One year from now
State the challenges and explain how you would recommend Paper Co. to address each of those
challenges.

A very prominent virologist, you decided to play in your laboratory growing different viruses. You have obtained one enveloped, icohahedral positive strand RNA virus. The replication of this virus is insensitive to any nucleic acid synthesis inhibitor you can think of. Your only problem is that the susceptible cells are human lung epithelial cells, which you do not have.

During a recent meeting of the American Society of the Frustrated Virologists, you heard a paper describing how monkey kidney cells (Vero) could be successfully infected with the virus you have. The trick is to co-infect or pre-infect Vero cells with a virus that would cause fusion from without between normal and infected cells.

Back in your Fort, you decide to try this experiment. You have two viruses that can help you, RSV and Sendai virus, both are paramyxoviruses, Which virus will you use?

Be specific when answering the following:

a. Discuss the mechanism that would allow your virus to establish a productive infection, in otherwise non-susceptible cells

b. Will the progeny virions be able to continue infecting Vero cells?

Hint: Fusii\on from without between two cells can occur within 30 minutes following infection with an m.o.i of 5. Such cell fusion is also achieved even if the fusing virus has been inactivated by ultra violet radiation prior to infect

You infected 3,000,000 cells with 9,000,000 pfu of the fusing virus (titer determined before the start of the experiment)
