A chemical reactor gives a fractional conversion of only 10% of the expensive limiting reactant in the feed stream. Assuming not

hing will improve the reactor’s performance, how would you design a process to make better use of the expensive reactant? What performance characteristics would you need for other process units? (b) A second reactor is available which gives 90% conversion but allows an irreversible, undesirable side reaction with only a 50% selectivity or the desired product versus the undesired product. For some cases, the 1st reactor would be better, while for others the 2nd reactor is a better choice. Explain what performance characteristics of other units would dictate this choice?

Answer:

Explanation:

A) install a SEPARATION unit on the output from the reactor and feed the unreacted reagents back to the reactor feed in a RECYCLE stream.

B) Even if one had a perfect separation unit, the 65% or reactant which went to undesirable side reaction is wasted. Recycle is not effective to help poor selectivity of the reactor.

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w
OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

          Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

          Actual production= 11,700 units.

         The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

         The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.  

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= \textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= \$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)

If the European subsidiary of a U.S. firm has net exposed assets of euro​200,000, and the euro increases in value from ​$1.22/eu
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

B. Gain $8,000

Explanation:

The calculation of exchange translation is shown below:-

Old exchange rate = Net exposed assets × Value of Euro

= 200,000 × ​$1.22

= $244,000

New value in euro = Net exposed assets × Increased exchange rate

= 200,000 × $1.26

= $252,000

Translation Profit  = New value in euro - Old exchange rate

= $252,000 - $244,000

= $8,000
