A feedwater heater is a device to heat the feedwater before it goes into the boiler. This device receives one stream of saturated vapor at 0.8 MPa and another stream of compressed liquid at 0.8 MPa and 60 oC. These two streams combined to become saturated liquid at 0.8 MPa at the exit of the feedwater heater. The mass flow rate of the compressed liquid is 100 kg/s. Determine a) the mass flow rate of the saturated vapor, b) the exergy destroyed in the feedwater heater (To=300K, Po=0.1 MPa) (10)

A residence was constructed in 1986 for $72,000 on a lot that cost $14,000. Before the property was converted to rental use in the current year, a finished porch costing $8,000 was added and a $3,000 casualty loss was claimed. If the fair market value on the date of conversion to rental use was $84,000 ($74,000 for the house and $10,000 allocated for the land), what is the depreciable basis?
During the current year, Liquid Corporation, a calendar-year taxpayer, purchased and placed in service the following assets on the following dates:

KURUKAHVECİ MEHMET EFENDİ
Established in 1871 in Eminönü-İstanbul by Mehmet Efendi, a young 25-year-old entrepreneur, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi started as a local coffee roaster and grew to become a national coffee manufacturer whose name is synonymous with premium-quality coffee, be it Turkish coffee, filter coffee, or espresso. After Mehmet Efendi’s death in 1931, the family business passed to his three sons. The family formally took “Kurukahveci” as their last name in 1934. Passionately attracted by the innovation and product development side of the business, the Kurukahveci family overlooked the importance of monitoring the competitive surroundings, market dynamics, and the purchasing behavior and consumption habits of customers. With competition intensifying and competitors investing heavily in venues and product mix, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi found itself struggling to maintain its sales and share despite the growth of the Turkish coffee market locally or overseas.
To remedy this situation, management realized the need for reliable market information as a basis upon which to base their new competitive strategy. According to Marketing Manager Hasan Koç, “a valuable decision management took which had major implications on our decision-making process was subscribing regularly to the coffee category of the A. C. Nielsen Retail Audit. The report revealed huge weaknesses in Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendı’s distribution and market coverage. It also shed light on the presence and share of each major player in the category across different geographical regions and trade channels with in-house analysis of their strengths and weaknesses.”
To ensure proper coverage, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi found that a huge investment in human capital, vans, and technology was required, which would not be reasonable for such a limited product portfolio. In 2010 a strategic decision was made to outsource the distribution operation to a specialized national distributor that can ensure a proper Turkish market presence for Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi products.
Change was not limited to the distribution strategy. Management also decided to revise all its marketing mix elements including product packaging, pricing, and communication. Mustafa Kamil Kurukahveci noted that “the exercise was led by a team of professionals from leading regional research houses who initiated tailor-made studies of the existing market conditions, trends and techniques in packaging, pricing, and communication, and to suggest recommendations for the launch of the re-engineered Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi’s product line.” This undertaking resulted in the architecture of the Mehmet Efendi brand being changed, with color coding to emphasize the heritage, and in repositioning the brand through innovative packaging and a creative but focused communication, pricing, and distribution strategies. “The right positioning is the key to the success of every brand,” said Abdullah Kıratlı, General Manager.
Management also focused on export markets. Market research reports by Euromonitor provided valuable insights about macro-country indicators as well as specific market information related to coffee, such as volume, value, trends, consumer habits, and competition. In addition to field visits by marketing and top management, the management used that information to identify promising regional and world markets and to decide how to penetrate these potential markets.
Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi’s current manufacturing facility handles all the export markets, focusing on serving the Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan), as well as the Gulf countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
“Market intelligence and research can never be 100% accurate; yet it is highly insightful and enlightening,” concludes Cem Kurukahveci, owner and major shareholder of Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi.

Financial ratios are used to analyze a company’s strengths and weaknesses by looking at the ratio of various financial data to each other by financial and business analysts and investors. Ratios thus estimated convert financial information of companies to a standardized format enabling them to be used to compare different companies to the industry average ratios before making investment decisions. Company practices sometimes differ, which can produce different results so it is best to analyze a number of different ratios to get the most accurate overall picture of the company and comparison (Ross et al, 2019).
It may be a challenging task for capital market participants to determine a company’s financial health by looking at financial ratios because it is time consuming, and requires financial and accounting knowledge. However, it is argued that it doesn’t require special training or countless hours of research. Even the investor who does not have good knowledge about capital market can make sense of a listed company’s balance sheet, profit and loss and cash flow statement by using financial ratios (Australian Shareholders Association, 2010).
