Answer:

The correct answer is <u>trade secret</u>

Explanation:

Trade secret can be considered as any secret or confidential information regarding business that provides a company with a competitive advantage over other company's in the market. Trade secret can be anything like commercial secrets, advertising strategies, recipe formula or manufacturing secrets etc. So therefore by reading the question it is quite clear that the intellectual property protection that keeps the recipe a secret is trade secret.

Canoe Company's manufacturing accounting system uses direct labor costs to apply overhead to goods in process and finished goods
sasho [114]

Answer:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor, $30,000

Factory overhead applied $6,000.

<u>To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

6,000= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*30,000

6,000 / 30,000 = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000

<h2>f'(x)=0</h2>

f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function  ad we get

f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />
