Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 40,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:
| Unit | Total | ||||||
| Direct materials | $ | 15 | $ | 600,000 | |||
| Direct labor | 8 | 320,000 | |||||
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 3 | 120,000 | |||||
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 5 | 200,000 | |||||
| Variable selling expense | 4 | 160,000 | |||||
| Fixed selling expense | 6 | 240,000 | |||||
| Total cost | $ | 41 | $ | 1,640,000 | |||
The Rets normally sell for $46 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $200,000 per year within the range of 35,000 through 40,000 Rets per year.
Required:
1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 35,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 5,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 5,000 units. This machine would cost $10,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 35,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?
3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 40,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 5,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

A steel reaction vessel at 25 oC initially contained pure NO2 at a concentration of 2.0 x 10-4 mol/L. Some of the NO2 reacted to form N2O4 as described by the following equilibrum equation:
2NO2(g) <----------> N2O4(g)
At equilibrium, the concentration of N2O4 was found to be 6.01 x 10-6 mol/L. What is the concentration-based equilibrium constant (Kc) for this reaction at 25 oC?
I know the correct answer is 170, but I'd like to know how to get there. Thanks!

When one company (A) buys another company(B), some workers of company B are terminated. Terminated workers get severance pay. To be fair, company A fixes the severance payment to company B workers as equivalent to company A workers who were terminated in the last one year. A 36-year-old Mohammed, worked for company B for the last 10 years earning 32000 per year, was terminated with a severance pay of 5 weeks of salary. Bill smith complained that this is unfair that someone with the same credentials worked in company A received more. You are called in to settle the dispute. You are told that severance is determined by three factors; age, length of service with the company and the pay. You have randomly taken a sample of 40 employees of company A terminated last year. You recorded
Number of weeks of severance pay
Age of employee
Number of years with the company
Annual pay in 1000s

An object is thrown straight up into the air. The object leaves the person’s hand with an upward velocity of magnitude 27 m/s. Assume that the object is in free fall, i.e., neglect air resistance. Draw a motion diagram and graphs (two graphs: one for vertical position vs. time, and one for vertical velocity vs. time) from the time when the object leaves the person’s hand to 5.0 seconds later. Include all the information on the graph that you can determine about the object’s motion, such as its position and velocity at 5.0 seconds. Assume that the person does not catch the object or interfere with it during the 5.0 seconds time interval.

While under the influence of the stick's force (and possibly some other forces), the puck moves 2.0 m. a) Is it possible that the stick does 6.0 J of work on the puck? If so, what is the angle between the stick's force and the puck's displacement while the force acts? b) Is it possible that the stick does - 3.0 J of work on the puck? If so, what is the angle between the stick's force and the puck's displacement? c) Is it possible that the stick does -6.0 J of work on the puck? If so, what is the angle between the stick's force and the puck's displacement? d) Is it possible that the stick does 6.0 J of work on the puck? If so, what is the angle between the stick's force and the puck's displacement? e) If the puck possesses an initial speed of 4.0 m/s, and then 4.0 J of work is done on the puck, find its final speed. Ignore friction. f) If the puck possesses an initial speed of 4.0 m/s, and then -2.0 J of work is done on the puck, find its final speed. Ignore friction.
