What is the percent of CO2 in the atmosphere that humans are emitting per year relative to preanthropogenic levels? (Hint: divide the rate of increase (2 ppm/year) by the amount of CO2 in 1850. and multiply by 100). 5. There were 600 gigatons (106 tons) of carbon in the atmosphere in 1850. How many gigatons accumulated in the atmosphere each year due to human activity?
A CASE STUDY Activity-based Costing and Pricing Submitted by: Maryland Tano August 24, 2011 Requirements: 1. Using direct labor-hours as the base for assigning manufacturing overhead cost to products, do the following: a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate that will be used during the year. Data given: * Estimated manufacturing overhead cost $ 2,200,000 * Direct labor hours 50,000 hours Answer: Predetermined overhead rate = $ 2,200,000 = $ 44 per DLHs 50,000 hrs b. Determine the unit product cost of one pound of the Kenya Dark coffee and one pound of the Viet Select coffee.
Rochelle decided to compare two plants for 50 days, Memphis plant-which will have the vector drive and Birmingham plant-which will use the existing system and prepare a report. The financial analysts believe that the purchase can be justified if the equipment leads to the average increase in production of atleast 10,000 bricks per day. Since we have to check whether the difference between the mean value of the bricks per day at Memphis plant and Birmingham plant is greater than 10000(for purchase to be justified), we will use hypothesis testing for means and compare the sampling distribution of the mean value of bricks produced in a day. This method is the typical method to solve these kind of problems. Data available is Plant Total Bricks produced in 50 days S (standard deviation) x̄ (mean) Memphis 7484500 3402.46 149690 Birmingham 6902350 3364.68 138047 Hypothesis test In a hypothesis test we assume Ho to be true and try to find evidence that shows otherwise.
Margin of Safety (DOLLARS) Budgeted – break even = 100,000-62500= 37500 (Percentage) 37.500/100.000= 37.5% (Units) 37500/250= 150 3.Compute the company’s margin of safety in units assuming the proposal is accepted. Margin of Safety (Dollars) 137500-58929= 78571 (Units) 78571/275= 286 4.

It was assumed identical macroeconomic pressures were encountered by RMAG in all scenarios. The forecast horizon is required to capture the short term fluctuations and demonstrate the stability of RMAG as a ‘going concern’. The forecast horizon, as a result of technological and industry pressure, varies between industries due to the nature of their business cycle and operations. (Refer to Spreadsheet plot for comparison between scenarios FH and between industries –Toll Road). The forecast horizon taken for RMAG assumes the development of their most economically lucrative product Human therapeutics (HG) takes “15 years to proceed from the lab to the drug store”.

The price premium given for Husky is $200k over a comparable competitor’s machine ($1.2m vs. $1.0m). The table in Appendix A illustrates my calculations in solving for annual operations costs. Because Husky equipment is faster, I found “Husky Equivalent” costs for the competitor; that is, how much does it cost all-in for the competitor to run the same number of cycles that Husky’s machine can do in a year. 365 days of operation for Husky is roughly 489 days of operation for the competition. I made a number of assumptions, including resin cost per gram of $0.16 (the latest figure on the chart in Exhibit 11), 365 days of operations per year, and annual cost per square foot of $60 (average of the $20-$100 range given in the case).
P5- Prepare a one-week plan for improving the nutrition of the chosen individual. Friday | Carbohydrates | Energy/Kcal | Fat | Fibre | Protein | Total | 154.6g | 1115Kcal | 26.86g | 12.2g | 86.6g | Recommended | 225 to 325g | 1940Kcal | 70g | 25g | 54g | Differences | 71.0g | 825Kcal | 43.1g | 12.8g | -32.6g | As the table on the top illustrates that one day diet of Mrs Samantha she had, 71g less of daily recommended intake of carbohydrates, 825Kcal less of daily recommended intake of Energy intake, 43.1g less of daily recommended intake of fat, 12.8g less of daily recommended intake of Fibre and 32.6g more than daily recommended of protein. Now Samantha has decided to change a diet to better nutritional health, in order to prevent
These changes will add $1.00 per bottle to the variable cost of sales. Calculate the new break even given the increase in variable costs. After charging $1.00 more per bottle, the company would have to sell 1,600 bottles per day which would be 20% sales loss. 3. To reposition its water as a premium product, Healthy Spring will require an increase in its advertising and promotion budget of $900 daily.
Then there will be looked for a relation between one millennium goal and sustainability. Millennium goals The millennium goals are founded by the Member States of the United Nations in the year 2000. Their aim is to accomplish several objectives in the year of 2015. The main points for these objectives are poverty, health, environment and education. There are eight millennium goals determined, all with another aspect of the main points stated earlier.
