CleanTech manufactures equipment to mitigate the environmental effects of waste. 2-6 A (a) If Product A has fixed expenses of $15,000 per year and each unit of product has a $0.20 vari- able cost, and Product B has fixed expenses of $5000 per year and a $0.50 variable cost, at what number of units of annual production will A have the same overall cost as B? (b) As a manager at CleanTech what other data would you need to evaluate these two products?

A home owner has a leaky bathroom faucet. If her faucet leaks 0.5 L/min and her water is heated to 45C with inlet water from a well supply at 15C then how much does the leak cost her per year? Assume her water is heated by propane at a cost of $0.65/L including tax using a boiler that is 85% efficient. Hint: 1 L of propane is equivalent to 23700 BTU. а. 776.58 ОБ. 984.20 O C. 1553.16 O d. 2329.75 е. 1121.84 O f. 1683.24
Explain why "degree of hazard" is not a factor in determining whether or not a waste is hazardous in the United States.
The majority of municipal solid waste is 64% paper. What ways would you suggest to reduce paper waste?
Using the energy content (wet basis) of the waste components given in the table below, calculate the overall energy content of the waste having the composition shown. You can assume 100 lb of waste to make this easier. Then determine the composition of the left-over waste if 80 % of the cardboard, 60% of the yard waste, 50% of the paper, 30 % of the metals and 20% of the plastics are recovered or recycled. How does this affect the total energy content of the discarded waste? How about the energy content per mass (wet weight)?
Can I get a thorough step by step for this question? Each month the speedy dry-cleaning company buys 1.75 barrel (0.28 m') of dry-cleaning fluid. The amount of fluid lost to the atmosphere as emission is 210 kg/month and the remaining remains as residue to be disposed of. The density of the dry-cleaning fluid is 1.5940 g/mL. Draw a mass-balance diagram and estimate the monthly % of mass residue to be dosposed of.
List and briefly explain two risks associated with improper management of solid waste. Then briefly explain how proper waste management mitigates those risks. Please note:

I. LABOR COST 1. Brew Good Coffee produces and distributes whole bean coffee. Its facility employs 25 employees working on producing, packaging and delivering bags of coffee. Brew Good's owners want to calculate the hourly direct labor costs of its factory employees for the previous year. First, the owners determine the total expenses for the 25 employees by adding up wages, benefits and other contributions. The amount is 4,500,000, which represents total direct labor costs for the year. Next, the company adds up the number of hours the factory employees worked in the past year. Twenty employees worked 40 hours a week for 50 weeks. The other five employees worked 35 hours a week for 48 weeks of the year. What is the per-hour direct labor costs.
