luStar Company has two service departments, Administration and Accounting, and two operating departments, Domestic and International. Administration costs are allocated on the basis of employees, and Accounting costs are allocated on the basis of number of transactions. A summary of BluStar operations follows:

BluStar estimates that the cost structure in its operations is as follows:

Required:

a. If BluStar outsources the Administration Department, what is the maximum it can pay an outside vendor without increasing total costs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

b. If BluStar outsources the Accounting Department, what is the maximum it can pay an outside vendor without increasing total costs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

A 765-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.10×103 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.30×103 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion.

Part A

What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion?

Part B

How much energy was supplied by the explosion? [Hint: What is the change in kinetic energy as a result of the explosion?]

What is the difference between the scales of measurement? Specifically Ordinal, Interval and Ratio scales of measurement because they are all very similar. Please provide good examples and explanation so I can understand the difference and not be confused when trying to determine/ solve for a variable.

Example:

Each voter was asked to rate their support for the current government on a scale from 0-100 (zero indicates no support whatsoever, while 100 indicates fully supporting the current government).

Voter support is the dependent variable but is it ordinal or interval scale of measurement?

The Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory manufactures and distributes chocolate products

Additional Information:

It purchases cocoa beans and processes them into two intermediate​ products: chocolate-powder liquor base and​ milk-chocolate liquor base. These two intermediate products become separately identifiable at a single splitoff point. Every 2,000 pounds of cocoa beans yields 50 gallons of​ chocolate-powder liquor base and 50 gallons of​ milk-chocolate liquor base. The​ chocolate-powder liquor base is further processed into chocolate powder. Every 50 gallons of​ chocolate-powder liquor base yield 650 pounds of chocolate powder. The​ milk-chocolate liquor base is further processed into milk chocolate. Every 50 gallons of​ milk-chocolate liquor base yield 1,070 pounds of milk chocolate.

Production and sales data for August 2017 are as follows​ (assume no beginning​ inventory):

- Cocoa beans​ processed, 22,800 pounds times

- Costs of processing cocoa beans to splitoff point​ (including purchase of​ beans), $62,000

Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory fully processes both of its intermediate products into chocolate powder or milk chocolate. There is an active market for these intermediate products. In August 2017​, Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory could have sold the​ chocolate-powder liquor base for $20 a gallon and the​ milk-chocolate liquor base for $60 a gallon.

Question:

1. Calculate how the joint costs of $62,000 would be allocated between chocolate powder and milk chocolate under the following​ methods:

a. Sales value at splitoff

b. Physical measure​ (gallons)

c. NRV​ (Net Realizable​ Value)

d. Constant​ gross-margin percentage NRV

2. What are the​ gross-margin percentages of chocolate powder and milk chocolate under each of the methods in requirement​ 1?

3. Could Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory have increased its operating income by a change in its decision to fully process both of its intermediate​ products? Show your computations.

The problem of mutual confidence of needs can be eliminated if :
A) trade is organized in a common market
B) Money is used to facilitate the exchange

D) A and B are true


The sale of one-year discounted bond with a nominal value of $ 20,000 to selling for $15,000 ------------- means that it generates returns.
A) 3 percent
B) 20 percent
C) 25 Percent
D) 33.3 Percent

Lesson Six Discussion Question:

Please respond to the following discussion,

Very few would argue with the claim that the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief is the greatest formal power that a president possesses. Yet, in the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to formally “declare war.” Presidents for the last 60-70 years have openly stated that they do not need Congressional authorization to use the military to pursue America’s interests on the global stage. As proof, America has not formally declared war since WWII. So, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghanistan, and now Syria have all been military exercises, but not wars in the Constitutional sense.

Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in? Or should the President’s military powers continue to expand to address the growing chaos in our world, despite the Constitution or in congruence with the Constitution? Explain your answer.

Your initial discussion postings (250-300 words) should demonstrate an understanding and analysis of the assigned readings and video. While you are welcome to incorporate additional scholarly external sources you find in your initial post, you are expected to cite mainly from the assigned material in your response demonstrating connections between your thoughts and the course resources. Please remember you are expected to cite your sources in APA format, you can review the Citation/Reference portion of the syllabus to refer to examples of APA format. In addition, you will also need to post two substantial responses (about 150-200 words) to at least two of your classmates' posts.

A 0.60 kg mass sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (with k = 650 N/m) whose other end is fixed. The mass has a kinetic energy of 11.0 J as it passes through its equilibrium position (the point at which the spring force is zero).

A. At what rate is the spring doing work on the mass as the mass passes through its equilibrium position?

B. At what rate is the spring doing work on the mass when the spring is compressed 0.092 m and the mass is moving away from the equilibrium position?

Silver Company makes a product that is very popular as a Mother’s Day gift. Thus, peak sales occur in May of each year, as shown in the company’s sales budget for the second quarter given below:

From past experience, the company has learned that 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, another 60% are collected in the month following sale, and the remaining 20% are collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts are negligible and can be ignored. February sales totaled $430,000, and March sales totaled $460,000.
