Suppose your principal objective is to maximize the selectivity of monochloroethane production relative to dichloroethane produc

tion. would you design the reactor for a high or low conversion of ethane? explain your answer. (hint: if the reactor contents remained in the reactor long enough for most of the ethane in the feed to be consumed, what would the main product constituent probably be?) what additional processing steps would almost certainly be carried out to make the process economically sound?

We are given the series of chemical reactions:

Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor:

C2H6 + Cl2 --> C2H5Cl + HCl

 

But some of the product monochloroethane becomes further chlorinated by an undesired side reaction:

C2H5Cl + Cl2 --> C2H4Cl2 + HCl 

 

So to avoid the product monochloroethane to be further chlorinated, there must be fast processing or fast conversion of ethane so that there would less time for further chlorination. Hence we must design the reactor for high conversion of ethane.

 

To make the process economical, there must be a downstream separation step that would separate the main product monochloroethane from the undesired product dichloroethane.

Presented below is information related to Bobby Engram Company.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

A. $ 98,210

B1. Cost to retail percentage 60%

B2. Cost to retail percentage 65.73 %

B3. Cost to retail percentage 58 %

B4. Cost to retail percentage 63.33 %

Explanation:

A. Computation for the ending inventory at retail

Inventory at Retail

Beginning Inventory $ 100,000

Purchase ( Net ) $ 200,000

Net Markup $ 10345

Less Net Markdown ($26,135)

Less Sales Revenue ($ 186,000)

Ending Inventory $ 98,210

Therefore the ending inventory at retail will be $ 98,210

B1) Computation for a cost-to-retail percentage

Excluding both markups and markdowns.

Cost to Retail Percentage

Excluding both Markup and Markdown

Cost Retail

Beginning Inventory $ 58,000 $ 100,000

Purchase (Net) $ 122,000 $ 200,000

Total $ 180,000 $ 300,000

Cost to retail percentage = $180,000/$300,000 Cost to retail percentage = 60%

B2. Computation for a cost-to-retail percentage Excluding Markups but Including Markdown

Cost Retail

Beginning Inventory $ 58,000 $ 100,000

Purchase (Net) $ 122,000 $ 200,000

Less Mark down ($ 26,135)

Total $ 180,000 $273,865

Cost to retail percentage= $180,000 /$ 273,865*100

Cost to retail percentage= 65.73 %

B3. Computation for a cost-to-retail percentage Excluding Markdowns but including Markups

Cost Retail

Beginning Inventory $ 58,000 $ 100,000

Purchase Net $ 122,000 $ 200,000

Add Net Markups $ 10,345

Total $180,000 $ 310,345

Cost to retail percentage = $180,000 / $ 310,345*100

Cost to retail percentage = 58 %

B4. Computation for a cost-to-retail percentage Including both Markups and Markdown

Cost Retail

Beginning Inventory $58,000 $100,000

Purchase Net $ 122,000 $ 200,000

Net Markups $ 10,345

Less Net Mardown ($26,135)

Total $ 180,000 $ 284,210

Cost to retail percentage = $ 180,000/ $ 284,210 × 100

Cost to retail percentage = 63.33 %

Therefore the cost-to-retail percentage are:

B1. Cost to retail percentage 60%

B2. Cost to retail percentage 65.73 %

B3. Cost to retail percentage 58 %

B4. Cost to retail percentage 63.33 %

What are the three basic questions faced by every economy
Likurg_2 [28]

The three basic questions asked are:

1. What goods and services should be produced?

This is asked because the economy wants to produce what the consumers want or else the resources aren't being used efficiently since resources are scarce.

2. How should we produce them?

This is asked because the producers don't want to spend unnecessary time or money on production, so they must choose wisely what method of production is best for their company and consumers.

3. Who are the consumers?

This is asked because the producers want to make sure that they are targeting the right people with advertising or selling.

Hope this helped!
