Yes a library is said to be the memory of the human race. It is because of the fact that library is the only place where thousands and thousands of books are placed from the beginning of the world to the prediction of the ending of the world, from cultures to heritages, from personalities to places of the world, from arts to science, from fiction to truth and so on. There is literally no subject or area of the world which is not covered in the books. People who wrote the books might have passed away years ago, but their writings are still alive as a memory in the library. So that is why a library is called the Memory of the Human Race

Let's look at the phrase "<span>the memory of the human race?".

Memories are usually belonging to one specific human, and stored in their brain. The human race doesn't literally have a memory, so this must be  a metaphor.

This metaphor might mean what the human race, as a total, can remember and have access to.

So just like we remember what happened last Tuesday, the human race can find the information in a library about what happened in 1912- in this way, a library and a memory are similar, so a library is truly a memory of the human race.

Nichols Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's IR
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 9.43%

Explanation:

IRR is the rate of return that makes initial investment equal to present value of cash inflows

Initial investment = Annuity*[1 - 1 /(1 + r)^n] /r

1250 = 325 * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)^5] /r

Using trial and error method, i.e., after trying various values for R, lets try R as 9.43%

1250 = 325 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.0943)5] /0.0943

1250 = 325 * 3.846639

1250 = 1,250

Therefore, The project IRR is 9.43%

Compute conversion costs given the following data: direct materials, $361,300; direct labor, $195,300; factory overhead, $216,70
Radda [10]

Answer:

a. $412,000

Explanation:

Conversion cost is the combination of direct labor and manufacturing overhead which directly or indirectly are necessary to produce a product other than the direct raw materials.

We know,

<em>Conversion costs = Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead</em>

Here,

Manufacturing overhead = Indirect material + Indirect Labor + Indirect overhead (including variable and fixed overhead)

Given,

Direct labor = $195,300

Manufacturing overhead = Factory overhead = $216,700

Selling expenses will not be included because it is not a direct or indirect overhead expense.

Therefore,

<em>Conversion costs = </em>$195,300 + $216,700

<em>Conversion costs = </em>$412,000
