In this scenario, we have two competing manufacturing companies; Company A and Company B, Company A having larger inventory than Company B. Company A (with larger inventory) will have the following advantages: * Lower ordering costs: For the raw materials they will be able to spread the fixed ordering costs over a larger amount of goods. * Quantity discounts: For the raw materials they would be better positioned to request quantity discounts because they would be ordering in bulk amounts

M17-16 a. Process. A continuous manufacturing process. b. Process. A continuous manufacturing process (may be job order if processed in batches for specific customers). c. Job order. Ordinarily manufactured in batches for particular combinations of size, style and color. If batches are very large, process costing could be used. d. Job order. Ordinarily manufactured one at a time, but modern technology permits some mass producing of modular homes; this could permit process costing

Chemistry behind Fireworks Did you know that when you see a commercial fireworks display you are looking at chemistry in action. You may have asked yourself “I wonder what is going on to make all those pretty colors and patterns” It is controlled chaos!! I tell you. Let us break this down to the basic we will start with a typical shell. Starting at the bottom we have a lifting charge which contains good ole black powder. The lifting charge gets the party started by creating an explosion

CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The Philippines is one of the world’s “mega biodiversity” countries, rich in both fauna and flora, and even if we are rich in all of these, the sector of our agriculture is now facing many kinds of problems. With the big mass of population in our country which is about 101,664,929 as of Monday, February 15, 2016, based on the latest United Nations estimates, this only shows that more and more, our country’s employment and economy will be dependent

but without any major effect on the groundwater. The liquid detergent also changed the smell of the water as well as the color but also contaminated the soil and groundwater. The next experiment that was conducted was to use products like sand, charcoal and gravel to filter contaminated water that had been treated with alum. The products were used as an aquifer. The results of this experiment were basically if you used coagulants combined with alkalinity you would be able to remove contaminants

of soil was created and the contaminated samples were filtered through it. The soil and cheese cloth did not affectively filter the contaminants. Experiment 2 focused on water treatment and a filtration system using cheesecloth, sand, activated charcoal, alum, and gravel was created. The contaminated water sample was created by mixing soil and water together. After the contaminated water was put through the filtration system and a few drops of bleach were added you could see that much of the sediment

invention of, actually had several inventors who built models of it before Edison. In 1809, Humphry Davy invented the first electric light bulb. He connected wires to a battery, and subsequently connected a strip of charcoal to the opposite ends of the wires. Miraculously, the tiny amount of charcoal produced light, and became known as the arc lamp. However, the arc lamp was not what historians deem as a true incandescent light bulb. The first true incandescent light bulb was invented by a German watchmaker
