...be made quickly and correctly to have the best result. Brian has decided to focus his efforts to reduce costs on the metal fabricating department. One item in particular that could be considered to be outsourced is the outrigger bracket. This is an accessory that is used to secure oversized containers. It is consisted of four component parts welded together. The final step in the process is the manual welding. Each trailer assembled requires twenty of those completed brackets. Brian has asked his purchasing agent, Alison, to request quotes from three local companies on that particular part. He first had to look at the current conditions and costs of assembly for the part. In the current situation there was a required 2 week lead time but not much stock had to be held because they were coordinating very well. Holding costs on this product is about twenty percent per year. For the total manufacturing it would cost B&L manufacturing $150.10 per completed bracket. If he adds the twenty percent holding costs it would come to about $180.12 per completed bracket. The lowest bid that Alison was able to gather was from a local company called Mayes that has a very good track record. The offer that they had provided was to assemble a completed bracket for $108.20. They would require a...

...opinions on the new bonus structure was, and if anyone had any ideas on improvement for it. After gathering all that information I would then request a meeting with Larry, and in the meeting I would discuss the new bonus structure and ask him how he came up with this so that I can see from his perspective. I would also ask him why he only centered it on Samuel and James. After hearing his point of view I would ask him if there was any way we could possibly change the bonus structure so that everyone has a chance at achieving it. I would explain to him that we could have different bonus structures depending on the amount of sales one did fall into three different brackets, for example if someone besides Samuel or James hits at the top bracket they too are able to get the same bonus. And if they hit the middle or lower bracket they are still able to get some kind of incentive. I would also suggest that we give away weekly incentives if one person hits a certain goal for the week, thus keeping them motivated to try and hit their sales. If Larry was to have a rebuttal against my idea I would explain to him that in order for us to not have such a high turnover and downturn in sales we need to be able to make the bonus achievable for everyone and not just for Samuel and James, and keep all the sales people motivated. As for keeping the significant turnover and downturn in the sales department, I would request that we have all the unseasoned salespeople go thru a training before...

...| Assignment #1 | Examining Characters in “Charlotte’s Web” | | Ashley Faulkner Student # c0160372Lambton College | 2/16/2012Word Count: 897 | | Every character in literature has a purpose or a reason why he or she is in the story. Often, characters are given the task of teaching a lesson or being symbolic of something. Two characters in “Charlotte’s Web”, Fern “Arable” and Mrs. Arable are two characters who are symbolic of their own themes: Inequality & Injustice vs. Power & Control, respectively. Fern “Arable” is the little girl who is introduced in the first few pages. Fern is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arable, and the sister of Avery “Arable”. The last names of the children are in parenthesis because Fern and Avery are not given proper last names in their introductions, unlike their parents. Fern’s purpose in the story “Charlotte’s Web” is to illustrate two important themes: Inequality and Injustice. Within her character development, Fern is shown as someone who feels that the world is unjust and unfair. She is also shown as someone who is not an equal being within her family, which is inferred when she isn’t given the proper title of a last name, whereas her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Arable, are given that respect. Fern isn’t presented as “Fern Arable”, she is merely Fern; a little girl. There are many examples in just the first few pages of “Charlotte’s Web” that show how Fern represents the themes of Inequality and Injustice...

...Experiment 2: Structures Author: Jason Leuer Lab Partners: Kyle Smith & Jacob Chess AME 324L – Section 1, Team 7 Date Lab Performed: February 2, 2015 Date Lab Submitted: February 11, 2015 Introduction: The objective of the Structures experiment is to analyze a simple structure using strain gauges. This is done with a bicycle frame. This can be examined by developing a 2D model of a loaded bicycle frame with three different weights. This can later be compared to a 3D model to determine its accuracy. Experimental Procedure: The bicycle contains various strain gauges along the frame. These strain gauges are necessary in order to measure the stress throughout the frame, as loads are added. Three different loads: 110, 160, and 240lbs, were applied in the experiment. LabVIEW is used to measure these stresses. Modern bicycles are made of Aluminum, Young’s Modulus is 9860ksi and Poisson’s ratio is .36. The components of the bicycle used are labeled below. Figure 1: Simple Bicycle Frame (3D Representation) As you can see below, the bicycle can be easily represented using 2D truss elements. Figure 2: 2D Truss Representation with Applied Load (F) Length values of each frame are listed below: Frame | Length (in) | Top Tube | 22.0 | Down Tube | 26.5 | Seat Tube | 17.5 | Chain Stays | 17.0 | Seat Stays | 19.5 | Table 1: Frame Length Values The eight strain gauges were analyzed, four on the down tube and four on the top tube, all centered on the tube and...

However, earnings per share is based on net income, not reinvested earnings. Thus, the firm’s EPS is: [pic] 3-4. Barrington Enterprises earned $4M in taxable income. Using the corporate tax rates given in Section 3.3 of the chapter, we find the following: [pic] Barrington’s total tax liability is $1,360,000, for an average tax rate of ($1,360,000/$4,000,000) ’ 34%. The chart above is very close to that in Section 3.3. However, we will explain the entries, using the calculations for bracket #3 (highlighted in the chart) as an example: Bracket #3 is shown in the text to apply to taxable income between $75,001 through $100,000. Thus, the bracket applies to $25,000, which is what we have entered in the “(marginal) taxable income” column. The “cumulative income taxed” column shows $100,000, meaning that when we have moved...
