Bioethanol production from corn should not be encouraged.

One important reason why the production of ethanol from corn is a bad idea is that it brings about a poor enegy return on the investment.

Furthermore, the production of corn will leave to major nutrient pollution and it's energy intensive. Also, the prices of corn will increase and this will have a negative effect on the income of the people as it'll lead to a reduction in their purchasing power.

In conclusion, bioethanol production from corn should be discouraged,

Answer:

  • The predetermined overhead rate is calculated by dividing total estimated overhead costs by total estimated direct labor hours = $61,500 / 4,100 labor hours = $15 per direct labor hours
  • total overhead rate for job 102 = 72 direct labor hours x $15 per direct labor hours = $1,080

A hospital needs 2,900 units of a medicine throughout the year. The purchasing cost varies with the size of the order. If the nu
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. 100 units are ordered  

b. Minimum Total annual cost = 80090

Explanation:

Given that,

D=2900.

C = $30 IF q<100

    = $27 IF 100<Q<499.

    = $26 IF Q>500.

C(H) = $30

C(O) = $10.

EOQ = √(2*D*C(O)/C(H))

        = √( 2*2900*10/30)

        = √( 1933.3333)

         = 43.97

TAC if 44 units are ordered =  (2*D*C(O)*C(H))+D*C

                                             = 2*2900*10*30+ 2900*30

                                             = 1319.09+ 87000 = 88319.09

TAC if 100 units are ordered  = 2900/100*10+ 100/2*30+ 2900*27

                                                = 29*10+ 50*30+2900*27

                                                = 290+1500+78300

                                                = 1790 + 78300 = 80090

if 500 units are ordered  = 2900/500*10+ 500/2*30+2900*26

                                        = 58+ 7500+75400= 82958.

∴ we get

100 units are ordered  

Minimum Total annual cost = 80090.

She made an immediate decision to upgrade the heating system to something more efficient, and began to research available options. For Olga and Burlington Furniture, this represented a(n) ________ situation.']

A. generic buy

B. new buy

C. adapted buy

D. straight rebuy

E. modified rebuy

Answer:

For Olga and Burlington Furniture, this represented a new buy  situation.

Explanation:

A new purchase is the first case in which a product is purchased. It is crucial for company suppliers to use their line of goods and lots of data to help the consumer make a good decision in this sort of purchasing situation.

A new buying scenario will take longer as testing, review and buying centre members must take a final decision.

A direct re-buy is typically an automated transaction where a manufacturer has a standing order every week or month for a set quantity of items.
