Two alternatives, code-named x and y, are under consideration at guyer corporation. costs associated with the alternatives are listed below. alternative x alternative y materials costs $ 45,000 $ 65,300 processing costs $ 49,400 $ 49,400 equipment rental $ 18,400 $ 18,400 occupancy costs $ 17,600 $ 26,100 what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of alternative y over alternative x?

Two alternatives

Costs of alternatives:

The financial disadvantage of alternative y over alternative x is $28,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Costs of alternatives:

                            alternative x       alternative y

materials costs    $ 45,000             $ 65,300

processing costs $ 49,400             $ 49,400

equipment rental $ 18,400              $ 18,400

occupancy costs  $ 17,600              $ 26,100

Total costs         $ 130,400           $ 159,200

Difference in costs = $28,800

b) The financial disadvantage of alternative y over alternative x is the increased cost incurred with alternative y over alternative x.  While the total cost of alternative x is $130,400, alternative y has a total cost of $159,200, which is $28,800 more than the total costs of alternative x.  The implication is that alternative y costs more than alternative x, making alternative x is a preferred alternative where cost is the determinant of the chosen option.

if kj of heat is transferred o 1200 g liquid water at 36'c, what would the new temperature of the water be? (he specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.186 j/g''c)

a. 15'c

b.100'c

c.51'c

d.36'c

answer: 11/12

step-by-step explanation: 4 1/4 and 3 1/3 is equivalent to 4 3/12 and 3 4/12. 4 3/12 - 3 4/12 =11/12
