- Apportionment, Allocation, and Absorption of Overhead

Total overhead=€650000, Thus overhead as percentage of Direct material cost=650000/3430000*100=18.95%.
Thus overhead to be absorbed to Econo bikes at 18.95% of €2150000=€407425, and to Luxi 18.95% of €1280000=€242575
**Under the blanket overhead absorption rate as was the practice, the €650000 overhead absorbed between Econo and Luxi was 2000/3000*650000=€433333 and 1/3*€650000=€216667
1. After all the service department costs are apportioned to the production departments, the next step is to spread the factory overhead to the different products or job produced. This is termed as overhead absorption

It was a sunny morning in early September, and I was travelling by bus, heading for my new school. It would be an understatement to say that I was somewhat apprehensive. My previous school had been much closer to home, so even this bus trip was new. But now I was heading for an entirely new school environment where I had no existing friends, and where all the teachers were as yet strangers to me. I found myself feeling increasing anxiety as the school buildings drew nearer, because I was not wearing the school uniform.
That uniform was a

The term victimology conveys different-contextual meanings, but based on the video, the word victimology refers to the scientific study of victimization-mainly the victims’ relationship with criminal justice system, offenders, law enforcement agencies, the media, business fraternity other, and other social institutions. Victimology also means the study of victims of other forms of crimes, which violate human rights. In this video, the detectives are trying to amend the relationship with the victim, after realizing that victim was charged wrongly; an idea that has affected the victim psychologically and emotionally. As an investigation officer, I would apologize to the victim for

Directly observing behavior encompasses four methods. This includes outcome recording, event recording, interval recording, and time sample recording. The outcome recording method applies in uniform behaviors where one expects unique results. Observers can use this easy-to-use method at their own convenience. This is because one checks on the results rather than the observable behavior. Outcome recording can also apply in recording complex behavior. The drawback of this method is that it cannot observe emotions or feelings expressed by people. Consequently, one has to be sure the outcome is unique for the method to apply.
Events recording entail observing behavior

Abstract

A body is said to be moving in a uniform circular motion if it is moving in a circle with a constant speed. The main objective of this experiment was to find the net force that acts on an object of mass m which moves in a circle of radius r at constant speed v and to confirm that the magnitude of that force is given by mv2/r.An experiment was done using centripetal force apparatus by hanging masses on it and computing the force required to stretch the string, the masses were then subjected to a rotational frequency and

Uniforms represent the idea that one is a part of an organization. When one wears a uniform to school, it suggests unity. The fact is that uniforms allow for the sense of belonging to a group. Some critics suggest that school uniforms will automatically improve the learning process as students will spend more time focusing on their lessons instead of becoming distracted by thinking of what to wear and when to wear it. In addition, students often become distracted by others and what they wear to school. In fact, a student who falls in the lower socio-economic strata of

Introduction

The various setbacks to developing and authenticating input distributions are well known in any institutions that deal with risk assessment and analysis. Due to all these, it has been given a considerable attention more recently. There are various strategies of estimating probability distribution from either empirical data or standard approaches, which are limit practical effectiveness especially whenever such data available are limited. Whenever such cases presents themselves, certain mechanisms and strategies are employed. Such include maximum entropy criteria which actually synthesizes distribution from priori constraints. The other mechanism is to employ the use of ‘default’ such include the triangle

Introduction

In the united states, each state has the authority to enact its own laws. The state laws are only applicable to the matters that regard a specific state in which the state has the jurisdiction. However, the federal laws apply to all the states. This in some sense works well for all the states. However, there was a need to create uniformity in the laws among the states that was desirable to all. According to Hermann (56), this led to the enactment of the Uniform Commercial Code act. One of the chief functions of the Uniform Commercial Code is

In our world today, there has been a huge interest in the study and understanding of the elastic properties of materials and how they are measured. It is an established fact that every solid object has a tendency to become deformed under the influence of an external force. However, the resistance offered by these solid objects against these external forces varies. This variation depends on the constituent materials of each of these solids. The resistance offered by a crystal object is greater than that of the ones made of amorphous materials. The applied external force, if large enough, can

In Ayn Rand's "Anthem," civilization had lost the understanding of freedom and individuality. Only one person along with a few friends dared to fight against the conformity that had become the norm. Throughout human history, there have been many people who have tried to force others to confirm to a set of rules and regulations. Conformity can be seen in India's caste system, the introduction of school uniforms, and in today's capitalistic society. There have been revolutions started by a person or group that overthrew the idea that society must confirm to a certain hierarchy in order to function

Is It Correct to Standardize the Education System?

Going by its word meaning, standardization is the development or implementation of certain technical standards. In the field of education, it refers to finding a solution to the problem of making every individual educated in a manner that allows all students to realize uniform gains by making consistent decisions. In simple terms this means that standardizing education helps to align a curriculum which in turn, enables quality control in the education system so that students may learn and be evaluated on a uniform platform and in an objective manner.

With the failing academic performance of American schools as compared to other first world countries, the uniform has been touted as a possible solution to the problem. Uniform policies should be implemented in public as they reduce distractions and peer pressure, the rates of crime and absenteeism while easing the pressures of social classes. All these factors are instrumental in improving academic performance and student attitudes which benefits all academic stakeholders who are the students, teachers, parents and administrators.
While uniforms have always been part of private and catholic schools that has not been the case in American public

The American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws joined together on a project known as the Uniform Commercial Code; it is merely a recommendation for the states to adopt uniform laws. Under the UCC, if a seller obtained the good by fraud, then he has a voidable title. A possible way of obtaining through fraud could be by paying through a check which was dishonored later or purchasing from a minor or even purchasing on credit when he was actually in an insolvent condition. In such a case, the voidable title would give

Reflection:

You can never expect a governmental body to police itself. Our government system in the United States has checks and balances in order for one body to not become to powerful. This is why they sometimes have congressional committees put in charge of oversight for the president’s office. The same goes for law enforcement in the country in their honesty in reporting statistics.
We get data on crime from three main instruments: The Uniform Crime Reports, The National Victimization Survey and Self Report Survey. The problem with all of these three tools comes down with they lean on

Introduction

Most students end up having disciplinary actions in their schools due to their dress codes which are considered unacceptable by their superiors. My stand on this matter is that, as long as one is still a student there are certain standard and regulations that must be upheld regarding school dress codes (Raby 22). The best option for me includes wearing of a school uniform rather than casual home clothes. Most high school students are at a stage where they are getting to experience who they are. School uniforms enable them to uphold the schools rules and regulations thus offering

What instruments are used to measure crime in the United States?

Two major crime measurement tools are found in United States that determine the magnitude, impact, and nature of crime. These tools are Uniform Crime Reporting (URC) and, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Each of these tools is essential in providing the nation with valuable information concerning aspects of crime. The two are used differently and focuses on different types of crimes (James 1-3).

What are the major crime reporting programs? What are the purposes of major crime reporting programs?

There are three major crime reporting programs in United States. These are; the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The Congress uses these reporting

Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass was a German mathematician who is often called as the "father of modern analysis".

Weierstrass was interested in the soundness of calculus, and also made significant advancements in the field of calculus of variations. Among the several significant axioms, Weierstrass established a necessary condition for the existence of strong extrema of variational problems.
As we know, Cauchy gave a form of the (ε, δ)-definition of limit, in the context of formally defining the derivative, in the 1820s, but did not correctly distinguish between continuity at a point versus uniform continuity on an interval, due to insufficient rigor. Notably, in his 1821 Cours d'analyse, Cauchy gave a famously incorrect proof that the (pointwise) limit of (

The measurement of crime is done with the objective of monitoring and this is mostly done in the same manner as the measurement of “consumer prices, stock market activity, traffic fatalities, population, unemployment, and HIV infection rates” (Maxfield & Babbie, 2011). However, much more is done in measuring the crime instead of just counting things. An assortment of societal, fiscal, geographic, and medical concerns is measured for keeping a record of communal and monetary conditions, population size, age distribution and hazards to physical well-being of the people. Similarly, crime measurement has the main concern of
