Question It was reported "Based in Newcastle, in the northeast of the U.K., Sage was founded in 1981 and started out selling business software for personal computers. It was the year IBM launched its first PC; Apple's Mac was still three years away. In 1991, Sage entered to the U.S. market, and today it operates in more than 20 countries, employs 12,000 people, and serves more than 2 million customers. Hare was named chief financial officer in 2014 and took over as CEO in 2018." Do you think Sage can survive the current health crisis? Do you recommend Sage to expand more aggressively overseas?

Which of the following statements about Theory Z style of management is true? Theory Z style of management does not reflect U.S. culture. According to Theory Z, workers should be laid off whenever business is bad. According to Theory Z, decision making should be done by the individual not the group. Theory Z contains many elements from Japanese management. According to the Theory Z style of management, the responsibility for success or failure is shared by the group.

Crich Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 21,940 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $530,948. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,850 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $530,948. Overhead at the end of the year was: (Round your Intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) Multiple Choice $2,228 underapplied $2,178 underapplied $2,178 overapplied $2,228 overapplied

For the following exercises, find the surface area of the volume generated when the following curves revolve around the y-axis. If you cannot evaluate the integral exactly, use your calculator to approximate it. 199. y = x2 from x = 0 to x = 2

For this week's discussion, you are asked to generate a continuous and differentiable function f (2) with the following properties: • f(x) is decreasing at x = -6 • f(x) has a local minimum at x = -3 • f (x) has a local maximum at x = 3 Hints: • Use calculus! • Before specifying a function f (2), first determine requirements for its derivative f' (2). For example, one of the requirements is that f' (-3) = 0. • If you want to find a function g(x) such that g(-9) = 0 and g(8) = 0, then you could try g(x) = (x + 9) (x – 8). • If you have a possible function for f' (2), then use the techniques in Indefinite Integrals this Module to try a possible f (x). You can generate a plot of your function by clicking the plotting option (the page option with a "P" next to your function input). You may want to do this before clicking "How Did I Do?". Notice that the label "f(2) =" is already provided for you. Once you are ready to check your function, click "How Did I Do?" below (unlimited attempts). Please note that the bounds on the x-axis go from -6 to 6. f(x) = How Did I Do? Try Another

CLEARLY PLEASE Toluene is produced by hydroforming conversion of n-heptane in a Cr203@-A1203 catalyst medium. The operating conditions of the process are given on the flow chart. The solvent used in the process is recovered. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2 - CH3CH3 + 4H2 Toluene production efficiency is 15% based on n-heptane fed into the process. The solvent ratio used in the extractor is 10 kg solvent / 1 kg toluene. According to this, a. Calculate how much heat must be added or removed to keep the reactor isothermal at 425 °C. b. What is the temperature of the n-heptane or solvent stream leaving the extractor. (The temperatures of the n- heptane and solvent streams can be considered the same.) но | 425 °C Cooler n-Heptane Superheater 425 °C 18°C 18 °C Catalytic Reactor HO Saturated Toluene vapour n-Heptane . 38c Solvent Heat Heat Extractor Still Exchanger Separator 18 °C 120 °C Solvent Solvent+Toluene
