Answer:

After wastewater reaches the treatment plant, there are two process applied consecutively: Primary treatment and Secondary treatment.

Explanation:

When water reaches to the treatment plant there are two process for the treatment:

Primary Treatment: Here most of the solid particles are filtered out. The screening process removes the large floating objects such as rags and sticks that may hamper the pipes. Then the grit chamber sediments the sands, stones, cinders etc. in the sedimentation tank.
Secondary Treatment : It is the process of removing the organic wastage by using the bacteria. The trickling filter and the activated sludge process removes about 80% of the organic waste from the water.

A company has a process that results in 12,000 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $8 per pound. An alternative would be to

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is management should sell Product A now.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Total production = 12,000 pounds

Sell price = $8 per pound

If process further, Cost = $80,000

Selling price = $14 per pound

So, If we sell the product without further process, than

Total sale value = 12,000 × $8 = $96,000

And, if we sell the product after further processing, then

Total sale value = (12,000 × $14) - $80,000

= $88,000.

As, sales value is more in selling the product without further process, so management should sell the product without further processing it.

Following are financial data from year-end financial statements of Portland Company for 2017, 2016 and 2015.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Answers are calculated below

Explanation:

Financial ratios can be calculated according to their formulas. Both formulas and calculation are as follows

CURRENT RATIO

Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

Current ratio (2016) = $360,000/$250,000

Current ratio (2016) = 1.44

Current ratio (2017) = $450,000 / $300,000

Current ratio (2017) = 1.50

ACID RATIO

Acid ratio = (Current asset - inventory)/current liabilities

Acid ratio (2016) = (360,000 - 165,000)/250,000

Acid ratio (2016) = 0.78

Acid ratio (2017) = (450,000-225,000)/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 225,000/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 0.75

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

Inventory turnover ratio = cost of good Sold / Average inventory

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/(360,000 ÷2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/180,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 4.80

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / ( 390,000 ÷ 2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / 195,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 5.25

DAYS SALE IN RECEIVABLE

Days sale in receivable = 365/Average receivable turnover ratio

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 365/ 12.67(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 28.81 days

Days sale in receivable (2017) =365/11.7(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2017) = 31.20 days

Working 1

Account receivable turnover ratio = Sales/ Average receivable

Account receivable turnover ratio (2016) = 1,752,000/138,288(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio = 12.67 times

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 1,642,500/140,351(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 11.7 times

Working 2

Average receivable = (Opening + Closing) /2

Average receivable (2016) = (132,000 + 144,576) /2

Average receivable (2016) = 138,288

Average receivable (2017) = (144,576 +136,125 ) /2

Average receivable (2017) = 140,351

(1 point) The manager of a large apartment complex knows from experience that 110 units will be occupied if the rent is 300 doll

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

$270

Explanation:

If the rent is $300 then 110 units will be occupied. The manager of the apartment complex should set a price which will maximize the revenue. When the rent is increased by $2 then one additional unit will be left vacant. This will reduce the revenue of the apartment manager. The equation to find the best possible rent which maximizes the total revenue is:

Profit = 110 (p - 300)

P = 110p - 330

P = 270.

The rent for the apartment should be 270 so the total revenue will be maximized.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The current BEP is 727 units

with the proposed change it will be 875 units

The change increase the break even point by 148 units

Explanation:

The BEP in units will be:

$\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}$

Where:

$Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin$

40 - 18 = 22 contribution margin

then we calcualte BEP

16,000 / 22 = 727,27 units

<u>with the proposed change:</u>

40 - 16 = 24 contribution margin

16,000 + 5,000 = 21,000 fixed cost

21,000 / 24 = 875

875 - 727 = 148

If an organization wishes to comply with the law and still increase the diversity of its workforce, it should ___________. selec

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The answer is use recruitment as a tool for attracting a more diverse and qualified applicant pool.

Explanation:

When it comes to increasing diversity in a company based on race, gender, sexual orientation and other demographic characteristics, the best way for a company to do this would be recruiting external candidates. De-emphasizing KSAO selection processes should be avoided because it would lead to a decrease in workforce quality in terms of their abilities to complete the job that they were hired for. Using subjective prediction methods should not be employed in the first place because it would instead create a possible avenue for a lawsuit.
