I. Introduction Arrowmark Vending has the contract to supply pizza at football games for a university. The operations manager‚ Tom Kealey‚ faces the challenge of determining how many pizzas to make available at the games. We have been provided with demand distributions for pizza based on past experience and know that Tom will only supply plain cheese and pepperoni and cheese combo pizzas. We also know that there is a fixed cost of $1‚000 allocated equally between the two types of pizzas‚ and that

Absorption Costing vs. Variable (Direct) Costing Absorption cost systems are widely used to prepare financial accounts. These systems are designed to absorb all production costs (variable or fixed) into costs of units produced. Absorption costs techniques allow manufacturing costs to be traced and allocated into product costs. There are different types of absorption costing systems: job order costing‚ process costing‚ and ABC costing. In job order costing‚ costs are assigned to products in batches

Project Specifications Project Title: Variable Pitch Constant Rotational Speed Wind Turbine Project Aims This project can be divided into 3 three parts. The first part is to develop a variable pitch propeller. Then second and the main aim of this project is to design a control mechanism by which the propellers would rotate at a constant speed‚ at varying wind speeds by adjusting their pitch. This would be achieved by using wind sensors (anemometer) and a microcontroller. The sensors would
