How does Reagan's Speech against Communism reflect the changing values in the United States during the 1980s? How can you tell?

Hydrogen sulfide is removed from natural gas through a “sweetening process” as it is toxic and its combustion produces corrosive substances. A proposed process is given below:

2H₂S_(g) + SO_2(g) --> 3S(s) + 2H₂O_(g)

In a test process, a gas stream which contains 20.0% H₂S and 80.0% CH₄ was combined with a stream of pure SO₂ prior to entering the reactor. The process produced 5000 lb of solid S, and in the product gas, the ratio of SO₂ to H₂S was equal to 3.00, and the ratio of H₂O to H₂S was 10.0. Draw the diagram. Using the extent of reaction balance, determine the following:

a.) limiting reactant (LR)

b.) fractional conversion of the LR

c.) Feed rates of the two input streams

what are the basic steps in conducting a wage and salary survey

Tami Tyler opened Tami’s Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler’s personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company probably would have reported at least some profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product—a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

Required:

1. Complete the following:

a. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable and absorption costing net operating income (loss) figures.

3. During the second quarter of operations, the company again produced 33,350 units but sold 38,350 units. (Assume no change in total fixed costs.)

a. What is the company’s variable costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes for the second quarter.

During 2018, Pina Inc., a furniture store, issued two different series of bonds, details of which follow:

First issue: 670 $100, 10% bonds, at par, each convertible into 6 common shares.

Second issue: 390 $100, 7% bonds, at par, each convertible into 3 common shares.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the company had net income of $53,850. Throughout 2020, 2,500 common shares were outstanding; none of the bonds were converted or redeemed. The company’s tax rate was 19%. (For simplicity, ignore the requirement to record the debt and equity portions of the convertible bond separately).

1. Calculate basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020.

2. Calculate diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Wanda of Salty Pawz just doesn’t understand her friend Jamie sometimes. They have been working together since the first dog biscuit came out of the oven, but now that the business is expanding, she can’t seem to get Jamie motivated to compete the tasks she delegates to her. She pays Jamie a salary now, so it’s not like the old days when she was working in exchange for dog treats. She has even given Jamie more responsibility; Jamie now supervises two other employees, a challenge Wanda assumed that Jamie wanted.

One afternoon she stops Jamie in the hallway and asks her if everything is going OK. Jamie responds that things are fine. Later that same week Wanda and Jamie are meeting about an upcoming promotion they are holding at the local animal shelter. Jamie takes a few notes but doesn’t share Wanda’s enthusiasm for the event. Wanda comes right out and asks Jamie if she has lost interest in the business. Jamie shrugs and says no, she is good with everything.

Why do you think Jamie might have lost her motivation and enthusiasm for the business at this point? How could Wanda motivate Jamie more effectively? Make sure the reasons you present are supported by sound motivational theory as established by leaders in the field.

Your employer wants its employees to be more healthy, and has decided to implement a Get Fit program. The company will pay the cost of each employee to get a doctor's clearance for their participation in the program. Participation will require each employee to fill out a complete health history, including family history of any major illnesses that might put the employee at risk. The company then will have a certified nurse review the histories with company HR staff, and the HR staff will then meet with each employee to develop a Get Fit plan, including diet and exercise. Employees who refuse to participate, or who do not meet their Get Fit goals, will pay an extra 25% of their health insurance premium costs.

Is the employer's plan legal? What federal law might prohibit such a program? (Hint: You might benefit from looking at  wellness plans offered by employers).
