Louis the Child manufactures Gold Body Glitter. For 2018, Louis the Child has budgeted 32,000 units of glitter to be manufactured. The company currently has machines in place that are able to manufacture 40,000 units, but will incur an additional $300,000 to manufacture anywhere from 40,001-65,000 units. Fixed costs, excluding the $300,000 are $127,360. Direct labor costs are $10 per unit, direct material costs are $15 per unit, and variable overhead costs are $20 per unit. The marketing manager supplies the following information on demand levels at different prices: Selling price per unit Demand in units 60 64000 65 60000 70 45000 75 30000 80 25000 What selling price should the company charge in order to maximize operating income?

City Wok is a Chinese catering company located in Colorado looking to evaluate the profitability of their customers. Currently, they allocate indirect costs to their customers arbitrarily. Under their current cost allocation method, City Wok has the following information: Stan Eric Wendy Total Revenues $100,000 $250,000 $150,000 $500,000 Direct Costs 25,000 100,000 75,000 200,000 Customer Margin 75,000 150,000 75,000 300,000 Indirect Costs 65,000 35,000 100,000 200,000 After performing analyses, City Wok’s manager Tuong Lu Kim determines indirect costs are largely caused by the direct costs of each customer and decides to reallocate indirect costs based on this information. Which customer experiences the largest decline in customer income as a result of the new cost allocation, and by how much?

What is the term for the safe level of harvest that reduces risk of accidentally causing a population decline?

Lipophobic chemical messengers require receptors to be present in target cells in the ______________.  The binding of this type of messenger to its receptor induce a__________________ to the receptor causing _________________ in the case of tyrosine kinase or _______________in the case of a Na+/K+ channel.

An ideal parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a very small distance d. When this capacitor is connected to a battery that maintains a constant potential difference between the plates, the energy stored in the capacitor is U0. If the separation between the plates is doubled, how much energy is stored in the capacitor?
