Come-Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial and household use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few are related, such as the company’s Grit 337 and its Sparkle silver polish.

Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs $1.60 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $7.00 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $5.00 per jar.

This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish. The additional direct costs involved in the processing of a jar of silver polish are:

Overhead costs associated with processing the silver polish are:

The production supervisor has no duties other than to oversee production of the silver polish. The mixing equipment is special-purpose equipment acquired specifically to produce the silver polish. Its resale value is negligible and it does not wear out through use.

Direct labor is a variable cost at Come-Clean Corporation.

Advertising costs for the silver polish total $2,500 per month. Variable selling costs associated with the silver polish are 5% of sales.

Due to a recent decline in the demand for silver polish, the company is wondering whether its continued production is advisable. The sales manager feels that it would be more profitable to sell all of the Grit 337 as a cleaning powder.

Required:

1. What is the incremental contribution margin per jar from further processing of Grit 337 into silver polish? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

2. What is the minimum number of jars of silver polish that must be sold each month to justify the continued processing of Grit 337 into silver polish? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Number of jars?

3.To determine whether a shiny gold-colored rock is actually gold, a chemistry student decides to measure its heat capacity. She first weighs the rock and finds that it has a mass of 4.7 g. She then finds that, upon absorption of 52.7 J of heat, the rock undergoes a rise in temperature from 25 ∘C to 57 ∘C. Find the specific heat capacity of the substance comprising the rock.

4. A 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 ∘C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum?

Why was the U.S. trying to spread our influence to other nations? Could we have still traded with nations if they were communist or under the influence of the Soviet Union? Explain.

For the past several weeks you have addressed several different areas of telecommunications and information technology in relation to different types of communication across the organizational footprint of Sunshine Health Corporation. Review the work you have done and formulate the Network Security Plan to be implemented across the network footprint. This is not to be an overly detailed report but to address different network concerns and recommendations for improving and securing organizational data, personnel records, intellectual property, and customer records.

Please address the narrative plan as well as a network diagram (no IP addresses, or circuit data required) and what is being done to secure the network at different levels of the OSI model and the organizational structure. Please make sure that you bring in a minimum of two external sources to strengthen and support your presentation.

The assignment should be 5-6 pages of content not counting title page, reference page or appendices (diagrams, budget sheet, equipment list, etc.). Please follow APA format.

10B When you need to produce a variety of diluted solutions of a solute, you can dilute a series of stock solutions. A stock solution has a significantly higher concentration of the given solute (typically 101 to 104 times higher than those of the diluted solutions). The high concentration allows many diluted solutions to be prepared using minimal amounts of the stock solution.

What volume of a 6.31  M stock solution do you need to prepare 100.  mL of a 0.2227  M solution of HNO3?

Express the volume to three significant figures with the appropriate units.

10C The absorbance of a cationic iron(II) sample solution was measured in a spectrophotometer, but the instrument returned an error because the absorbance was too high. The sample was then diluted by using a pipette to take 100.0 μL of the sample and injecting it into a cuvette already containing 2.00 mL of water (total volume is 2.00 mL + 100.0 μL). The absorbance value of the diluted solution corresponded to a concentration of 5.92×10⁻⁶  M . What was the concentration of the original solution?

Express the concentration to three significant figures with the appropriate units.
