The following information is provided for XYZ Manufacturing Company for the month of June 2025: Beginning and Ending raw materials inventory: $20,000 and $15,000 Raw materials purchased: $50,000 Beginning and Ending work in process inventory: $30,000 and $25,000 Beginning and Ending finished goods inventory: $40,000 and $35,000 Direct labor costs: $60,000 Manufacturing overhead applied: $45,000 Sales revenue: $200,000 Selling and administrative expenses: $10,000 Based on the foregoing, what is XYZ’s Gross Profit during June 2025?

BrightStar Furniture Company manufactures wooden dining tables. The production process involves cutting and shaping wood, assembling the tables, and applying finishes. The company is preparing a cost analysis for its manufacturing operations and needs to classify its costs into direct materials, direct labor, or manufacturing overhead for the production of 1,000 tables in a month. Below is a list of costs incurred during the production process. Costs Incurred: Wood used to construct the table tops and legs: $30,000 Wages paid to carpenters who assemble the tables: $18,000 Salaries of factory supervisors overseeing production: $12,000 Glue and screws used to join table components: $1,500 Electricity bill for the factory’s woodworking machines: $3,200 Wages of workers who sand and polish the tables: $10,000 Depreciation on cutting and sanding equipment: $4,000 Cost of varnish and paint applied to the tables: $2,800 Maintenance costs for factory machinery: $1,200 Wages of delivery drivers transporting finished tables to retailers: $5,000 Given the foregoing information, what is Brightstar’s total Direct Materials? 

Problem 7 You know that a 180nm CMOS technology has a minimum size inverter propagation delay of tp=200 ps (picoseconds).  The equivalent resistance approach can be used to calculate propagation delay with resistances RP=30kohm and RN=12.5kohm. (W/L)n=(W/L)p=1.  What is the effective load capacitance? For this problem please choose an answer below. Include work and support for your answer on your scratch sheet,  including the answer with units, and put a box around the final answers. Choose best answer  

Problem 3      Version 2b Given the integrated amplifier below, with parameters as listed, answer the following questions. Choose best matching answer, you can reuse matching answers Make sure to show your work and answers on work paper, including the answer with units, and put a box around the final answers. VDD = 5V, L = 1um, W1(for Q1) = 1um, Q2 is twice the width of Q1 k’p = 1mA/V^2, k’n = 4mA/V^2, W3 (for Q3) = 8um IREF = 2mA, Vtn = |Vtp| = 1V lambda = 0.1 for NMOS, lambda = 0.5 for PMOS  

Problem 1      Version 2a For this op amp circuit with V1 = 2V,  R1 = 1kohms,  R2 = 4kohms,  RL = 4kohms   Choose best matching answer, you can reuse matching answers Make sure to show your work and answers on work paper, including the answer with units, and put a box around the final answers.

Problem 4      Version 2024a Given the following BJT circuit with values as indicated, answer the questions below.  Choose best matching answer, you can reuse matching answers Make sure to show your work and answers on work paper, including the answer with units, and put a box around the final answers. Assume active mode operation, with VBE=0.7V. Given RB2=RB1= 120kohms   Vcc = 3V   Rc = 1kohms   RE = 1kohms Beta = 100 It is operating at a temperature of 290K so assume VT = 0.025 for this problem

Problem 8 When a particular 90nm CMOS logic integrated circuit with 10 billion inverters is operated at VDD=1V and f=2 GHz the average dynamic power is Pdyn= 50W. What is the average dynamic power Pdyn when VDD=0.5V and f=4GHz? For this problem please choose an answer below. Include work and support for your answer on your scratch sheet,  including the answer with units, and put a box around the final answers.
