Marvel Parts, Inc., manufactures auto accessories. One of the company’s products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,030 hours each month to produce 2,060 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are:

During August, the factory worked only 640 direct labor-hours and produced 1,600 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month:

At standard, each set of covers should require 2.5 yards of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production.

Required:

1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August.

2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August.

3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August.

(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Reasonable efficiency for converting chemical energy to electrical energy via combustion is 30%. Calculate how many pounds of coal must be burned to run your reading lamp for two hours of studying for a chemistry exam. A typical reading lamP has a 75 W bulb. Assume that coal is pure graphite. (1 W = 1 J/s.)

Process Capability MKS Inc., produces meter sticks that have a target length of 100 centimeters with upper and lower specification limits of 100.05 and 99.95 centimeters respectively. Their existing process produces meter sticks with an average length of 99.97 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.015 centimeters. They are considering the purchase of a new machine that can hold a process output average exactly to target with a standard deviation of 0.02. Which machine will provide better process capability and why? (Show all your work in order to receive the full credit.) 1. Calculate capability index for the old machine. (8 points) 2. Calculate capability index for the new machine. (8 points) 3. Compare capabilities, decide which is better, and explain why. (4 points)

In today experiment you will perform the reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone to synthesize a mixture of cis- and trans- 4-t-butylcyclohexanol. Answer the following questions regarding this reaction:

1.The reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride is a stereoselective reaction. What does this mean, in terms of the products that were isolated?

2. Why the reduction is done in methanol and not in water?

3. Why in the reaction a very big excess of NaBH₄ will be used?

4.Compare and contrast the (A) reductive abilities of LiAlH₄ with those of NaBH₄, and, (B) compatibility of the two reducing agents with protic solvents (water, alcohols). Use as reference internet sources and your lecture manual. After the comparison, decide why NaBH₄ was used in the reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone (your experiment) rather than LiAlH₄.

5.After the reduction the product mixture is quenched with cold dilute HCl. Why do we do that?

6.To isolate the reaction product you will perform an extraction. What solvent will be used for extraction and what layer is on the bottom? Circle the correct response:   Et₂O,   H₂O,   CH₂Cl₂, pentane.

7. What is the purpose of adding anhydrous Na₂SO₄ in step 8 of the procedure, before the filtration of the combined CH₂Cl₂ extracts?

8. Why do you expect cis- and trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol to be separable by GC? Do you expect more cis- or trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol?

9. Is the reaction thermodynamically or kinetically controlled?

10.Calculate the theoretical and actual % yield for the reduction of 50.0 mg 4-t-butylcyclohexanone (MW = 154.3 mg/mmol) with excess NaBH₄ to obtain 30.0 mg of product (MW = 156.3 mg/mmol). Show your calculations with the proper units.

Research has shown that although the largest firms in the world also tend to be the world’s largest exporters, export intensity is not positively correlated with the size of a firm. Explore the reasons for this. Then pick two industries. Discuss the levels of export intensity you would expect to find in the two industries. Explain your reasoning and compare differences across the industries.  

A city department plan to administer a survey to a sample of citizens to asses program quality. Department managers intend to measure citizens satisfaction with service and want to make sure that the survey instrument contains reliable and operationally valid measures.

a. Present two strategies that you can use to determine that the measure of program quality are reliable.

b. Present two strategies that you can use as evidence that the measures of program quality are operationally valid.
