In wintry conditons, higway safety ismproved by treating road surfaces
with substances tha wil provide traction and/or melt snow and ice. Sand and
rock salt are two widely used substances. Recently, a combination of beet
juice and rock salt is being used in some parts of the country to treat road
surfaces. Suppose you have been asked to provide a list of factors to consider
for a switch from rock salt alone to using a combination of beet juice and rock
salt. Name the major considerations you would take into account in making a
decision in the following categories: cost considerations, environmental
considerations, both positve and negative, and other considerations.

- #2 Which of the following would be an example of a research and development expenditure eligible for the R&D credit? a. Marketing research for a new project. b. Research to technologically improve an existing product. c. Research to alter design after commercial production has begun. d. Research to adapt existing component to a large customer's personal requirements. e. Routine testing for quality control of an existing product. NeeDestin Company produces water control valves, made of brass, that it sells primarily to builders for use in commercial real estate construction. These valves must meet rigid specifications (i.e., the quality tolerance is small). Valves that, upon inspection, get rejected are returned to the Casting Department; that is, they are returned to stage 1 of the four-stage manufacturing process. Rejected items are melted and then recast. As such, no new materials in Casting are required to rework these items. However, new materials must be added in the Finishing Department for all reworked valves. As the cost accountant for the company, you have prepared the following cost data regarding the production of a typical valve: Skipped Cost Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Allocated fixed overhead Casting $ 250 135 Finishing $ 15 145 175 105 Inspection $ 0 20 Packing $ 10 20 20 35 Total $ 275 320 365 300 150 95 20 65 $630 $ 440 $105 $ 85 $ 1,260 The company, spurred by…Fast Wire Incorporated manufactures a scrambling device for cellular phones. The main component of the scrambling device is a very delicate part—DTV-12. DTV-12 requires careful handlings during manufacturing. Once damaged, the part must be discarded. Only skilled laborers are hired to manufacture and install DTV-12. Damages still occur, however. The following are the operating data of Fast Wire Incorporated for 2021 and 2022 relative to the insertion of DTV-12. 2021 2022 Number of phones manufactured 600,000 780,000 Units of DTV-12 used 960,000 1,072,500 Direct labor hours for DTV-12 insertion 1,800 2,600 Total cost of DTV-12 units $ 1,443,750 $ 2,333,750 Direct labor wage rate per hour $ 67 $ 82 The partial operational productivity ratio of DTV-12 in 2022 is: Multiple Choice 0.63 per unit. 0.73 per unit. 1.92 per unit. 3.00 per unit. 3.33 per unit.
- Solve the quations: Tony and his team identified some risks during the first month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However, all they did was document the risks in a list. They never ranked the risks or developed any response strategies. Because the project has had several problems, such as key team members leaving the company, users being uncooperative, and team members not providing good status information. Tony has decided to be more proactive in managing risks. He also wants to address positive risks as well as negative risks. The question is : Create a risk register for the project. Identify six potential risks, including risks related to the problems described in the previous paragraph. Include negative and positive risks.Pollution Prevention, P2 Investment Heaps Company produces jewelry that requires electroplating with gold, silver, and other valuable metals. Electroplating uses large amounts of water and chemicals, producing wastewater with a number of toxic residuals. Currently, Heaps uses settlement tanks to remove waste; unfortunately, the approach is inefficient, and much of the toxic residue is left in the water that is discharged into a local river. The amount of toxic discharge exceeds the legal, allowable amounts, and the company is faced with substantial, ongoing environmental fines. The environmental violations are also drawing unfavorable public reaction, and sales are being affected. A lawsuit is also impending, which could prove to be quite costly. Management is now considering the installation of a zero-discharge, closed-loop system to treat the wastewater. The proposed closed-loop system would not only purify the wastewater, but also produce cleaner water than that currently being…St. John's Hospital has decided to move to a new location to better serve the surrounding community. The project involves constructing a new hospital and making it operational. Judy Kramer, the project manager for the St. John's Hospital project, divided the project into two modules.

- A plastic-manufacturing company owns andoperates a polypropylene production facility that converts the propylene from one of its cracking facilitiesto polypropylene plastics for outside sale. The polypropylene production facility is currently forced tooperate at less than capacity due to an insufficiencyof propylene production capacity in its hydrocarboncracking facility. The chemical engineers are considering alternatives for supplying additional propyleneto the polypropylene production facility. Two feasiblealternatives are to build a pipeline to the nearest outside supply source and to provide additional propylene by truck from an outside source. The engineersalso gathered the following projected cost estimates.• Future costs for purchased propylene excludingdelivery: $0.215 per lb.• Cost of pipeline construction: $200,000 per pipeline mile.• Estimated length of pipeline: 180 miles.• Transportation costs by tank truck: $0.05 per lb,utilizing a common carrier.• Pipeline operating…Which one of the following costs is most likely to be deductible? Group of answer choices Fines paid for dumping toxic waste into a City of Denver park. Bribes to a city health inspector to ensure an “A” rating to a restaurant. The telephone bill for the headquarters of an illegal stolen car parts organization. Advertising costs for a Colorado marijuana dispensary.California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company was ordered to treat the wastewater before its release, and it installed relatively expensive equipment. While the equipment is fully depreciated, annual operating expenses of $260,000 are still incurred for wastewater treatment. Two years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old…

As a part of its business, it receives supplies of aggregate (stone, sand, gravel, and so on) from two suppliers: Austin Aggregate and Granger Materials. The CC purchasing department has a preference for buying from Granger based on price but occasionally has to order from Austin when Granger cannot fill the order. Carrie Construction has recently had problems with the quality and the timeliness of deliveries. When a supplier delivers a load to CC, it goes through an initial inspection to assure it meets specification. If the load fails the initial inspection, it goes through a secondary inspection to determine the exact issue. Almost always, the issue can be resolved and the load can be used. The initial inspection costs $3,000 per load. A secondary inspection, which is more thorough, costs $15,000 per load. If a delivery is delayed, Carrie has to hire temporary workers or pay overtime…Alis keen to expand the business operations of Shortcuts to Food by including a home delivery service for individual customers.
