Let's think about billions by looking at Bill Gates, president of Microsoft. One year, his personal wealth grew by $20 billion.

Suppose he was working by the hour, like working at a fast food place, but with a higher wage. Suppose he saw a $100 bill at his feet, if his salary were docked for the time it would take him to pick it up, should he stop work and take the time to pick up the $100 bill?

Answer:

No, he should <u>not</u> pick up the $100 bill

Explanation:

If his salary were those $20 billion (20,000,000,000) by a year. Let's find out how much this is by a second.

First let's find out how much is that salary by <em>a day</em>, then by <em>an hour</em>, then by <em>a minute</em> and finally by <em>a second</em>.

\frac{20,000,000,000}{year}*(\frac{1 year}{365d})*(\frac{1d}{24h})*(\frac{1}{60min} )*(\frac{1min}{60s} )  \\\\  =\frac{20,000,000,000}{365*24*60*60} \\ \\ =\frac{20,000,000,000}{31,536,000} \\ \\ =634.19

So he would be losing money if he picks up the $100 bill, because he would be missing 634 dollars per second.

Ben Gordon, Inc. manufactures 2 products, wheels and seats. The company has estimated its overhead in the assembling department
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

We could allocate assembly overhead on the basis of the parts used in the assembly process:

wheels ⇒ 300,000 x 2 parts = 600,000 parts

<u>seats ⇒ 600,000 x 3 parts = 1,800,000 parts</u>

total parts assembled     2,400,000 parts

overhead costs per part assembled = $360,000 / 2,400,000 parts = $0.15 per part

so the overhead allocated to wheels should be = 600,000 parts x $0.15 per part = $90,000
