Answer:
The correct answer is A. The Mars Climate Orbiter crashed on the surface of Mars because one program output thrust in terms of foot-pounds, and another program expected thrust to be expressed in terms of newtons.
Explanation:
The Mars Climate Orbiter was NASA’s unsuccessful mission to study the Martian climate, part of the Mars Surveyor 98 program. The MCO was created as a satellite-translator for the Mars Polar Lander lander, and after the latter ceased to function, it was supposed to study the Martian climate.
The Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed when a navigation error caused the probe to be improperly elevated as it entered orbit. The vehicle was destroyed by the friction and stresses in Mars' atmosphere. An investigation showed that some data for the rocket system were calculated in English units (pound-force-second) while the navigation team expected SI units (Newton-second).
Answer:
Accrued Loss on Purchase Commitments $2,000,000
Explanation:
December 31, (recognition of loss on purchase commitments)
- Dr Loss on Purchase Commitments account 2,000,000
- Cr Accrued Loss on Purchase Commitments account 2,000,000
Since the price of raw materials lowered by 2,000,000, the company lost money on its purchase commitments:
Purchase commitments loss = contracted price - market value = $5,000,000 - $3,000,000 = $2,000,000
The loss on purchase commitments is an expense, and accrued loss on purchase commitments is a liability.
Answer:
25.25%
Explanation:
With a fill area of 
, and an installed liner cost of $8, the total cost of installation = 50,000 * 8 = $400,000.
Annual average annual cost = $400,000/4 = $100,000 (since the fill area is adequate for 4 years).
Estimated annual revenue = 
(P = Price, V = Value, p = Pick Up, d = Dump Truck, c = Compactor Truck)
= (10*2,500) + (25*650) + (70*1,200)
= $125,250.
Therefore, annual rate of return = 
= 25.25%.
Using the high-low method, separate each mixed expense into variable and fixed elements. State the cost formula for each mixed expense. (Omit the "£" sign in your response.)
<span>Shipping Expense: </span>
<span>(86,200 - 45,900) / (5,100 - 2,000) = £13 variable cost per unit </span>
<span>86,200 - (13 x 5,100) = £19,900 fixed cost </span>
<span>£ Y = £19,900 + £13 X </span>
<span>Salaries and Commissions </span>
<span>(238,400 - 114,400) / (5,100 - 2,000) = £40 variable cost per unit </span>
<span>238,400 - (40 x 5,100) = £34,400 fixed cost </span>
<span>£ Y = £34,400 + £40 X </span>
<span>3. </span>
<span>Redo the company’s income statement at the 5,100-unit level of activity using the contribution format. (Input all amounts as positive values except losses which should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit the "£" sign in your response.) </span>
