Energy Gel Case Study High Performance Corporation (HPC) is deciding if they should proceed with a new product roll out of Energy Gel and if they do proceed with the project they are determining how to evaluate theEnergy Gel project. There is a clear line in the sand between Mr. Winkler and Mr. Leiter on how to evaluate the project‚ specifically regarding how to account for using Energy bar’s excess capacity for producing Energy Gel. After reviewing the arguments of both managers we agree with

HPC is deciding on whether or not to launch a new product line. Furthermore‚ if the company decided to proceed with the project‚ then the new product‚ Energy Gel‚ should be evaluated. The Energy Gel case describes three approaches in order to estimate project costs which are direct cost advocated by Harry Wickler‚ full cost supported by Mark Leiter‚ and equipment based costing supported by Frank Nanzen. The direct costing basis only considers the variable costs that are directly identified with

Question 1: What is your assessment of HPC’s capital budgeting process currently in place? Would you recommend any improvements? What is the correct method to value the project? It is mentioned in the case that HPC only carries out financial evaluation after it has completed technical and strategic analysis. This seems to be an incorrect way to do it because you would expect financial to be priority or at least part of the initial analysis on a project. We also see here that they chose to

Agarose Gel Electophoresis of DNA Topoisomers Introduction DNA can exist as different isomers that change the confirmation of the DNA’s structure. DNA can be in a linear confirmation this is a relaxed confirmation as the DNA can rotate about its axis unconstrained. It can also exist as a nicked circle this is also a relaxed confirmation as the DNA strands can again rotate freely with respect to one another. Covalently closed circular DNA or cccDNA exists as a supercoil this is because the covalent

hence this project should not be approved. (2-3 pages) In the fourth part we have to talk on the difference between the negative NPV versus the ROIC of 72%. Why is there a huge difference and where is the problem in the capital budgeting process of HPC? (I think this is the key message that we have to deliver!!) (2-3 pages) In the fifth part of the paper we should do a critical analysis of the comments by Wickler‚ Leiter & Nanzen. Everybody is partially right in some aspects and we should identify

The Ideal HPC Programming Language Ebony Prioleau Strayer University CIS110 Computer Program Design Douglas Reed November 30‚ 2014 “This article describes programmability studies undertaken by Sun Microsystems in its HPCS participation.” FORTRAN has been the preferred language among the High Performance Computing (HPC) community‚ it is less likely that every programmer would have ended up preferring FORTRAN and more likely that the problems with the original source codes have more to do with reasons

Marissa Arias Senior Rhetoric Graf-8 April 14‚ 2014 Gel II Manicure Many women and even some men love to get their nails done‚ but hate how much time it takes to dry and on top of that they are extremely easy to ruin and chip. There is a new type of manicure trending know as Shellac‚ Gel nails‚ or No chip. According to my cosmetology instructor Samantha Rudman‚ this process takes about 35 to 40 minutes but dries in seconds. Many individuals would love to know this process even the men that

In gel electrophoresis‚ DNA fragments move through a porous matrix made of agarose‚ a gelatin-like substance purified from seaweed. The agarose is melted like Jell-O® and then poured into a plastic tray to harden into a slab called a gel. A plastic comb inserted at one end while the gel is hardening forms wells where DNA samples can be placed. The DNA is mixed with a loading buffer that contains glycerol—this makes it heavier than water‚ so it will sink to the bottom of the well. The gel is then
