Corning is an American producer of glass, earthenware production, and related materials, basically for mechanical and experimental applications. The organization was known as Corning Glass Works until 1989, when it changed its name to Corning Incorporated. In 1998, Corning stripped itself of its customer lines of CorningWare and Corelle tableware and Pyrex cookware offering them to World Kitchen, yet at the same time holds an enthusiasm of around 8%. Starting 2014, Corning had five noteworthy…

transmission lines which leads to instability in the power system operation. Distributed generation is used to minimize the power losses and thus to improve the system stability. Improper DG placement may increase system losses, network capital and operating costs. Which is important to find the size and location of distributed generation, inorder to minimize line losses of power system. This paper uses the Maximum Power Stability Index (MPSI) which is derived from the maximum power transfer…

Negotiated transfer price refers to the price agreed by both divisional managers after the negotiation stage. Negotiated transfer price can be stated as the alternative solution between cost-based price and market price (Agarwal, 2015). In this case, the manager of Electrical Division will negotiate with the manager of Brake Division first before they determine the transfer price for A2 electrical fitting. In order to adopt this approach…

and variable costing is in how they mange fixed manufacturing overhead. Under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a product cost, therefore, is an asset until products are sold. Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a period cost and is immediately expensed on the income statement. Both methods threated all other costs the same way. 2. Selling and administrative expenses are treated as period costs under both variable costing and absorption…

Problem Formulation [1] Figure 2 shows the utility-connected HPGS, which consists of WT, PV, SB, GT, and utility grid. The main objective functions of this system are the total annual cost (TAC) and the system pollution (SP). Equation 3 shows the multi-objective function should be minimized. f=min⁡(TAC,SP) (3) Equation 4 shows the first objective function, which it…

about the number of grandstand seats to be sold. He believed that the grandstand seats will be based on three probabilities; high, medium and low sales which could be 80,000, 50,000 and 20,000 respectively. Moreover, his decision could be based on a cost estimates and order size (10,000, 7,500 and 5,000) from silk screener/shirt supply house. Before making the decision he should consider all the financial outcomes and volume of sales that will range from 5 to…

When it comes to radio stations, you literally have the world to choose from. Talk radio, religious programs, foreign programs, and of course every genre of music you could ever want to listen to, depending on where you are. With all of these options it is no wonder why manufacturers put that little “scan” button on radios. Have you ever paid attention to how your favorite station is programed out for certain times? It is definitely crazy how much time and effort goes into making a program hour…

price increases and cost increases all by the same amount– no change to profit. Here both the price and cost are increased in the same way so there is no change in profit. In this case also the company is not earning any profit and not increasing the company’s performance by increasing the value. 3. In the third case the value increases, price increases but cost increase is greater than price increase; profit is reduced. Here both the price and the cost are increased but the cost gets higher…

services such as an MRI. Costs are created by expenses in the network that include salaries for employees, purchase of medications and supplies, and payment of obligations incurred. Revenue does not necessarily mean that an enterprise is gaining profits and disregard for this detail may result in the network inadvertently, operating at a loss (McLean 2003). Once income is calculated, expenses must be deducted to determine the networks net profit. These expenses include costs associated with…

Cost behavior refers to how specific do costs react to fluctuations in the level of the business activity (Weygandt, Kimmel, & Kieso, 2009). Cost behavior is one of the most important concepts in managerial accounting as determining how a cost will behave is critical to planning, decision making and controlling. In order to analyze cost behavior patterns and make decisions, costs are divided into 3 types; fixed, variable, and mixed costs(Smith, 2002). Breakeven analysis is one of the important…
