Keller's Reagent is the most popular metallographic etchant for etching aluminiumalloys. The chemical composition of the etchants includes methanol, hydrochloricacid, nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. The cost of methanol of is Rs. 500 per litre,nitric acid is Rs. 1000 per litre, hydrochloric acid is Rs. 2000 per litre andhydrofluoric acid at Rs. 4000 Per litre. A unit of 1000 ml reagent contains 750 ml ofmethanol, 50 ml of hydrochloric acid, and 100 ml nitric acid and 100 ml hydrofluoricacid. The man-hour cost handling the manufacturing unit results in Rs. 75,000 per1000 units of reagent. The marketing, advertisements, transportation add up to Rs.40000 per 100 unit of reagent. Estimate the price per unit by following pricingmethod;1. Cost plus pricing for 26% profit.2. Mark-up pricing for 20% mark-up.

1. HighQualityasavalueproposition:Paras took on himself to ensure quality becomes a top differentiator and a value proposition to its customers. They started working closely with beekeepers in the Himachali region around the Himalayan foothills and in Muzaffarpur, where they encourage ethical beekeeping. Ethical beekeeping is a format where a hundred per cent of the honey is harvested at no point. Only 60% will be taken out of the hives that, or through that process, at any point, 40% will be left back for the bees.Also, through the exploration and pursuit of pure honey, Paras came across multiflora honey, which is most commonly used as a source of honey. But unfortunately, adulteration happens when a blend of multiflora honey is packaged and sold. Paras ensured that the lab tested the source from which they collected the honey to ensure the promise of purity was kept at every stage. Moreover, while sourcing the honey, the honey twig ensured that it was entirely antibiotic-free.2.…

On February 12 Peg Jones, vice president for operations and maintenance, called into Stephen’s office and asked to study the issue. Specially, Stephen wanted to know whether the average fleet age was correlated to direct airframe maintenance costs, and whether there was a relationship between average fleet age and direct engine maintenance costs. Peg was to report back by February 26 with the answer, along with quantitative and graphical descriptions of the relationship. Peg’s first step was to have her staff construct the average age of Northern and Southeast B727-300 fleets, by quarter, since the introduction of that aircraft to service by each airline in late 1993 and 1994. The average age of each fleet was calculated by first multiplying the total number of calendar days each aircraft had been in service at the pertinent point in time by the average daily utilization of the respective fleet to total fleet hours flown. The total fleet hours was then dividend by the number of…
Grain dust is pound for pound more explosive than coal dust or gunpowder. Ignited by an electrostatic discharge or other cause, it has ripped apart grain silos and has killed or wounded many workers over the years. When 54 people were killed during Christmas week 1977, grain handlers and the U.S. government finally decided to combat dust accumulation.10 Ten years, 59 deaths, and 317 serious injuries later, a compromise standard was agreed on that designates dust accumulation of one-eighth inch or more as dangerous and impermissible in silos in the United States. Nevertheless, on Monday, June 8, 1998, a series of explosions killed seven workers performing routine maintenance at one of the largest grain elevators in the world, demolishing one of the 246 concrete, 120-feet-high silos that stretch over a length of one-half mile in Haysville, Kansas. Discuss grain facility explosions as a case study of workplace safety and rule making: Which ideas concerning acceptable risk apply here? My…

At an Oxford grocery store, the manager Jenny Produce buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. In her focus on quality, each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week Jenny can buy fresh lettuce for $10.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $22.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $2.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 270 boxes with a standard deviation of 44 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should Jenny purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the Z-score. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) I have asked this 3 times and nobody has got it right.
