The Current Designs staff has prepared the annual manufacturing budget for the roto- molded line based on an estimated annual production of 4,000 kayaks during 2013. Each kayak will require 54 pounds of polyethylene powder and a finishing kit (rope, seat, hardware, etc.). The polyethylene powder used in these kayaks costs $1.50 per pound, and the finishing kits cost $170 each. Each kayak will use two kinds of labor-2 hours of type I labor from people who run the oven and trim the plastic, and 3 hours of work from type II workers who attach the hatches and seat and other hardware. The type I employees are paid $15 per hour, and the type II are paid $12 per hour.
Manufacturing overhead is budgeted at $396,000 for 2013, broken down as follows.

Instructions
(a) Prepare the annual manufacturing budget for 2013, assuming that 4,000 kayaks will be produced.
(b) Prepare the flexible budget for manufacturing for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Assume activity levels of 900, 1,000, and 1,050 units.
(c) Assuming the rotomolded line is treated as a profit center, prepare a flexible budget report for manufacturing for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, when 1,050 units were produced.

Determine the volume flowrate from the tank
: Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 5 cm diameter tube as shown in below figure. The end of the tube is 1 m below the tank bottom, and viscous effects are negligible.

Volume occupied by the steel
: Assume that crude oil from a supertanker has density 750 kg/m'. The tanker runs aground on a sandbar. To reflect the tanker, its oil cargo is pumped out into steel barrels, each of which has a mass of 15.0 kg when empty and holds 0.120 m' of oil Y..
