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

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

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 the Energy Gel project. However‚ it ignores many costs or benefits including cannibalization of the existing Energy bar product‚ use of

Question 1: Suppose you walk across a room carrying a bucket of water in your right hand. To keep the water from sloshing out‚ you walk at constant speed‚ making sure the bucket is kept at the same height above the ground. Which statement is true? a) You exert a force on the bucket and do work on the bucket as you carry it. b) You exert a force on the bucket but do no work on the bucket. c) You don’t exert a force on the bucket and you do no work on it. Answers: b Question 2: TRUE or FALSE:

QUESTION( Conservation of Energy) 1. Missy Diwater‚ the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother’s Circus had a kinetic energy of 15 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg‚ then what is her speed? Solution: According to energy conservation‚ the kinetic energy at the bottom of the dive (15‚000J) is equal to her gravitational potential energy before the dive. We can use this fact to find her dive height: PE = mgh h = PE/mg = 15‚000J / (50kg)(9.81m/s²)

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

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
