I would say that the 2300 hours would be debited and for the overhead, I believe it should be 2300/9500=0.242 x $95,000=$23,000 though I don't know why it would be credited and not debited as well since it is a cost also.
Answer:
The answer is explained below showing interrelationship among a bacterial pathogen, the affected host, and potential antimicrobial drugs in the development of an appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
Explanation:
Bacteria live in multiple host to live their life and obtain food as well as nourishment from the host body. While some of the bacteria are useful to the host as they help in digestion or other functioning of the body but most of the bacteria causes several diseases to the host.
For example, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the bacteria that causes tuberculosis in the human(host). In response, to disease, drugs(antibiotics) are given to the host. The drugs could be broad spectrum that can kill both gram positive and gram negative bacteria or narrow spectrum that can either kill gram positive or gram negative bacteria. Each drug have minimum concentration at which the drug is effective, it is known as minimum inhibitory concentration. The Kirby bauer test is used to see the antibiotic sensitivity. The antibiotics are effective against the specific proteins of the bacteria cell and known as selective toxicity
An organization or economic system where goods and services are exchanged for one another or for money.
Every business requires some form of investment and enough customers to whom its output can be sold on a consistent basis in order to make a profit.
Businesses can be privately owned, not-for-profit or state-owned. An example of a corporate business is PepsiCo, while a mom-and-pop catering business is a private enterprise.
Answer: Project X
Explanation:
The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.
Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;
= 68,000/24,000
= 2.83 years
Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;
= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback
Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000
= $56,000
This means that the third year is the year before payback.
60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000
Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000
= 3.2 years
Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.
Answer: interdependence
Explanation:
Price fixing - incorrect. This is an illegal practise where 2 competing companies from the same market unlawfully agree that they won't sell their goods below a specific price. Hewlett - Packard and Dell did not enter into an agreement to limit their sales prices to a specific amount.
Cutthroat competition - incorrect. This is a practise where competitors within the same market aim to cripple or even eliminate their competition, by using heavy promotion or predatory pricing techniques (setting low prices to try an remove rivals). Hewlett - Packard is not aiming to use destructive techniques to eliminate Dell, and in this case isn't even considering lowering it's prices at all.
Collusion - incorrect. This is an illegal secret conspiracy, usually committed by competitors joining forces to mislead and deceive others within or linked to the market. This doesn't apply as Hewlett Packard 's intentions not to raise prices aren't to deceive Dell and other competitors. Further Hewlett - Packard has not made a secret pact of any form with its competitors.
Interdependence - correct. Interdependence is companies relying on each other to fulfil their objectives. Hewlett Packard relies on its competitors and how they will behave to a change in prices and other economic factors. The market is quite fragile, so any change by a company could have chain - reaction level effects to other companies and its customers operating within that same market. Both companies thus need each other in order to succeed.
