What will be the monthly break-even point in number of passenger cars? 190 -70 = 120 90 * .6 = 54 Break-even for number of cars: (3,150,000 +0)/ (120) = 26250 26250/54 : 486 d. (Refer to original data.) Fuel cost is a significant variable cost to any railway. If crude oil increases by $ 20 per barrel, it is estimated that variable cost per passenger will rise to $ 90. What will be the new break-even point in passengers
A laet or agriculture serf was worth between 40 and 80 shillings. Irrespective of being considered worthless, thralls and slaves’ death usually cost a nominal payment. (wikipedia) The payment varied from culture to culture. In the early medieval period, when the monetary system hadn’t highly developed, cattle were highly valued than coinage. Payment could also be made in the form of hostages, slaves, silver, or precious jewels.
The colored regiments received two veterinary surgeons, whereas the whites had one, this was because they colored soldiers were given the worn out, old horses that needed the most attention. Interesting enough most of the horses they received were bays, except for Troops F and H which had grays and blacks. Troop M had paint horses which gave them the nickname of the “calico” troop, at this time they’re now eight troops. Before, “Nearly 180,000 served in the Union army; 34,000 of them died (Feature Essay).” The colored regiments were known as the 9 and 10. The Colonel and Lieutenant’s of the regiments were white.

The Loss Was Not Inevitable History 443- Dr. LaFantasie Davis Sexton “After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.”[i] The Confederate army mobilized somewhere in the area of 750-850 thousand troops for battle during the Civil War, which was between 75-85% of the available drafting age population in the South. While the North mobilized over 2.2 million men for battle, a mere 50% of its military age population. [ii] A small anecdote of the might of the Union production over the Confederates was that in Cleveland, Ohio before the war there was not a single forge in the area, by the end of the war there were 21, employing over 3,000 men and producing over 60,000 tons of steel a year! [iii] “They argue that the Confederates lacked sufficient will to win the war, never developed a strong collective national identity, and pursued a flawed military strategy that wasted precious manpower. Often lost is the fact that a majority of white southerners steadfastly supported their nascent republic, and that confederate arms more than once almost persuaded the North that the price of subduing the rebellious states would be too high.”[iv] The idea that Southern cause faced inevitable defeat is full of assumptions, while we may never know if they truly could have won their battle for secession.
Divisions were then organised into smaller units of approximately two hundred and fifty soldiers who were commanded by a standard bearer. A group of “shock troops” known as the Braves of the King served as the pharaoh’s personal bodyguard. The infantry The highly disciplined infantry or mesha was the largest group and gave Egypt an advantage over its enemies such as the Mitanni. These infantry units were composed of spearmen, archers, axe-bearers, clubmen and slingers. Many foot soldiers lacked adequate armour; some were even without shields.
In 1861, when the war was finally underway and all possible officers were called in for both the Union and the Confederacy, the Northern army had over nine-hundred officers while the Confederate army had less than three-hundred officers. The top officers in both the North and South had been trained at West Point in New York and though there were regional differences in terms of advantage, overall the top officers were arguably even. The Confederacy, however, as able to
It would take about seven days to cross if you were on a mount. He then divides everything into twenty-three territories called satraps. The satraps were ruled by local governors, and their most important duty was to collect taxes. He also uses a system of checks and balances to ensure internal stability, as well as a constant military presence, and spies everywhere to ensure external stability. Darius has an account of his success engraved into a side of a cliff in Persian, Akkadian, and Elamit, so it could be read by everyone.
The FWP progressed from a set of tour books, educational pamphlets, to essays of the state guides, ethnic studies, and folklore studies. The FWP's Life in America series had 150 volumes on a range of topics. Interviews with former slaves, farm and cotton-mill owners, and workers published in These Are Our Lives (1939) this gave more knowledge on American history. Larger defense budget in the years leading up to World War II took money away from the FWP. By 1939, budget cuts had forced the project to scale down to 3,500 workers, although it was so popular that every state provided money to keep it alive when Congress reduced funding in 1939.
It was mandatory for every white male age 18-45. In April 1862, the Confederacy adopted the draft. The draft was controversial, especially among the working class, because the rich could "buy their way out" for $300 or hire a substitute. The draft stopped in early 1973. In 1980, Congress re-instated the requirement that young men register with the Selective Service System.
