...2012 Giberson’s Glass Studio 1. Come up with an analysis that might help save the business. Edward Giberson is facing a problem with his rapidly deteriorating glass studio. He is not making profit, which is from a combination of not pricing his products correctly and spending too much on costs. I first figured out his total revenue for the year. Giberson’s year is actually made up of 40 weeks or ten months. The following table is what makes up his revenues: Category | Unit Price | # of units | Sales | Patterned glasses | $9.00 | 19*40=760 | $6840 | Paperweights | $15.00 | 10*40=400 | $6000 | Wrapped tumblers | $8.00 | 32*40=1280 | $10,240 | Vases | $25.00 | 8*40=320 | $8000 | Total Annual Revenue: | =31,080 | I then calculated the operating costs for the year, which included his estimated wages of $25,000 for the year and depreciation of the equipment, furnace, truck, and gas tanks. I combined the remaining operating costs together which include advertising, rent, utilities, etc.: Category | Cost per month | Months (40/52)*12 | Operating Costs | Office Supplies | $25 | 9.23 | $231 | Hand Tools/MFG supplies | $150 | 9.23 | $1,385 | Part-time labor | $100 | 9.23 | $923 | Other operating costs | $640 | 9.23 | $7,680 | Truck | $205 | 9.23 | $2,460 | Furnace | $1,000 | 9.23 | $9,230 | Furnace Depreciation | $208* | 12 | $2,500 | Equipment Depreciation | $31.25** | 12 | $375 | Truck Depreciation | $141.67*** | 12 | $1,700 | Gas tanks depreciation...

...AGILA ART GLASS CASE When Lito Domingo, a second year graduate student at the Asian Institute of Management, first visited Agila Glass in 1990, he found the business files in disarray and the owners wondering how much longer he can stay in business. Records of production and data on product costs were non-existent.and the only financial records were a checkbook, unreconciled bank statements and several tax returns. James Tan was a skilled glassblower who had recently moved his factory from Binondo to Malabon. Tan’s wife had always taken care of the company’s books and records, but the bookkeeping had been neglected since his wife passed away more than two years ago. Even if his glasswork had been selling very well since he moved to Malabon a year ago, he soon found himself draining his very limited resources. He did not expect a big salary, but estimated that he would need at least P 25,000 a year to tide him over. Notwithstanding his lack of organized financial information, he realized something had to change.if he was to avoid bankruptcy. In desperation, he contacted Lito, a longtime friend, who agreed to help him. Production Process Agila produced fine, handblown glassware in the form of tumblers, paperweights, patterned glasses and vases. In a refurbished garage, James fashioned handblown items from molten glass gathered on a long metal blowpipe. Using his own breath to shape the object, James formed each vessel by a process analogous to blowing honey at the end...

...CHILD LABOUR IN PAKISTAN | | | | | | | God has given human beings the boon of wisdom and discretion to think upon the signs of the universe and to draw conclusions. That is the reason why they disclose the hidden facts of it and its structure and have made remarkable progress in many walks of life. Children are the flowers of heaven. They are the most beautiful and purest creation of God. They are innocent both inwardly and outwardly. No doubt, they are the beauty of this world. Early in the morning when the children put on different kinds of clothes and begin to go to schools for the sake of knowledge, we feel a specific kind of joy through their innocence. | | But there are also other children, those who cannot go to schools due to financial problems, they only watch others go to schools and can merely wish to seek knowledge.It is due to many hindrances and difficulties; desperate conditions that they face in life. Having been forced to kill their aspirations, dreams and other wishes, they are pressed to earn a living for themselves and for their families. It is also a fact that there are many children who play a key role in sustaining the economically life of their family without which, their families would not be able to make ends meet. These are also part of our society who have forgotten the pleasures of their childhood. When a child in addition to getting education, earns his livelihood, this act of earning a livelihood is called as child Labour. The concept...

...Giberson’s Glass Studio Giberson is a skilled glassblower facing financial difficulties in his business. His resources are draining out quickly due to the following reasons – Lack of proper bookkeeping following his divorce, since his wife used to take care of the activity He has no knowledge which of his 4 items – glasses, paper weights, tumblers and vases – is profitable He is in dire need of a better pricing strategy to maintain profits after accounting for costs and his wages Looking at the available data, Giberson seems to be under-utilizing several of his resources, namely raw materials and time in addition to inefficiently pricing the products. Let us look at each of these factors separately. Raw Materials Let us calculate the total weight of raw materials used to produce the 4 items and compare that with the total weight of raw materials available Weight / piece (lbs) Patterned glasses 0.5 Paperwights 0.9 Wrapped tumblers 0.5 Vases 0.6 Item Weekly Production 19 10 32 8 Total Weight (lbs) 9.5 9 16 4.8 39.3 The total weight of raw material used = 39.3 lbs. The total weight of raw material scrapped = 50 lbs. Batch size available = 200 lbs. Percentage utilization = (39.3 + 50)/200 = 45% Cost/ batch = $21.42. Cost/year = $21.42*40 = $856.80 Recommendation – Giberson is reluctant to reduce the quantity of the batch to preserve quality. If he can half the quantity while still preserving the proportion of ingredients, he can save $428.40 per year Time Let us...

...Chapter 2 ENERGY CONVERSION AND GENERAL ENERGY ANALYSIS W hether we realize it or not, energy is an important part of most aspects of daily life. The quality of life, and even its sustenance, depends on the availability of energy. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of the sources of energy, the conversion of energy from one form to another, and the ramifications of these conversions. Energy exists in numerous forms such as thermal, mechanical, electric, chemical, and nuclear. Even mass can be considered a form of energy. Energy can be transferred to or from a closed system (a fixed mass) in two distinct forms: heat and work. For control volumes, energy can also be transferred by mass flow. An energy transfer to or from a closed system is heat if it is caused by a temperature difference. Otherwise it is work, and it is caused by a force acting through a distance. We start this chapter with a discussion of various forms of energy and energy transfer by heat. We then introduce various forms of work and discuss energy transfer by work. We continue with developing a general intuitive expression for the first law of thermodynamics, also known as the conservation of energy principle, which is one of the most fundamental principles in nature, and we then demonstrate its use. Finally, we discuss the efficiencies of some familiar energy conversion processes, and examine the impact on energy conversion on the environment. Detailed treatments...

...strategically designed ports. A rotating shaft with blades is attached at the center, which helps for a faster combustion process and also prevents incomplete combustion. The ash and the residue thus generated due to the combustion is forced at the periphery by this rotating shaft. The ash is pushed into an ash hopper and it gets collected there. A door is provided to dump the waste inside the incinerator. This door pneumatically operated and when opened shuts down the fan and the burner automatically. Not all the ash gets collected in the ash hopper. Some of the ash due to the forced air goes up to the chimney with the smoke. To remove this ash from the smoke a char eliminator is used. A char eliminator is similar to a filter paper. A sight glass is provided at the side of the incinerator to keep a watch at the burning process. All the processes are controlled with the help of a control panel that is fitted on or near the incinerator. Working and disposing Solid waste is put inside the incinerator through the waste door, in properly arranged stacks so that the chances of incomplete combustion are minimized. The oily sludge or waste oil is not directly put into the combustion chamber neither it is put through the waste door. A...
