1. The art of being a good Chemical Engineer lies in being a good mathematician, a good chemist, and a good mechanic – all simul

taneously. All three of these are required for determining optimum economics. Generally speaking, we concern ourselves with operating costs (i.e. the chemistry side) and capital costs (i.e. the mechanical side). What can decrease operating expenses will, most likely, increase capital expenses. When designing equipment, we MUST be able to reconcile these two. The sweet spot is usually at the intersection of two curves (i.e. the mathematician side). Suppose that Operating Expenses could be expressed by the equation: y = 0.5x + 0.15, and Capital Expenses could be expressed by y = 1.25x2 + 0.1. To determine the minimal costs, you must find the point of intersection (assuming that only positive roots are applicable). (Solve analytically and graphically.) NOTE: When solving graphically, use graphing paper. 2. As you will learn in your chemistry courses and the reactor design course, the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds is very much dependent upon the reaction temperature.

Answer:

y_{oe}=0.5x+0.15\\y_{ce}=1.25x^2+0.1\\\\

for minimum cost the intersection point should be calculated i-e

0.5x+0.15=1.25x^2+0.1\\\\1.25x^2-0.5x-0.5=0\\

By using calculator

x_1=0.4828\\x_2=-0.4828

As x can't be negative so x=0.4828

It's the minimum value because as we decrease the operating cost further the capital value will increase so this is the minimum value.

Builder's Outlet just hired a new chief financial officer. To get a feel for the company, she wants to compare the firm's sales
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The answer is: Income statement

Explanation:

As she wants to get information on sales and costs, the Income statement is the statement that she should looking for. With the Balance sheet statement, it only shows information on the financial position reporting the firm's assets, liabilities and owner's equity at a specific point in time rather than the sales and costs firgures during the reporting period.

Furthermore, she should opt for Income statement rather than the common-size income statement because the common-size income statement hardly illustrates any trend during the recent years/ reporting periods, instead, it is only shown each revenue and cost items as percentage of total sales in a specific period.

In the income statement, there should be enough information for the new CFO to find trends on revenues and costs (if any) because the revenue and cost items is detailed enough and at least it should be given the comparision between sales & costs of the reporting period versus the firgures of the previous reporting period.

These are selected account balances on December 31, 2014.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$1,150,000

Explanation:

Two categories of operatng assets are presented on the balance sheet: Property, plant and equipment; intangible assets.

They are presented at their acquisition cost (historical cost).

The balance sheet uses one line item for property, plant and equipment and presented the details in the notes.

Initially are recorded at acquisition cost or original cost, that include all cost normally necessary to acquire an asset and prepare it for its intended use.

A depreciation is an allocation of the original cost of an asset to the periods benefited by its use.

In this case, he total amount of property, plant, and equipment that will appear on the balance sheet is $1,150,000 because:

Land $100,000 + Buildings 800,000 + Equipment 450,000 + Furniture 100,000 - Accumulated Depreciation 300,000 = $1,150,000.
