Mark Collins, luthier and businessman, builds and sells custom-made acoustic and electric stringed instruments. Although located in Maryville, Tennessee, he purchases raw materials from around the globe. For example, he constructs his top-of-the line acoustic guitar with onboard electronics, the MC-28, from rosewood and mahogany imported from a distributor in Mexico, spruce harvested in and imported from Canada, and ebony and the electronics imported from a Japanese distributor. He obtains other parts in the United States. When broken down on a per-guitar basis, the component and finishing costs are as follows: Component Cost Country Currency Rosewood and 2,750 Mexico Mexican peso ($) mahogany: Spruce: 200 Canada Canadian dollars ($) Ebony and 12,400 Japan Japanese yen (V) electronics: Other parts plus Unites States United States dollars ($) woodworking 600 labor: Collins sells some of this model in the U.S., but the majority of the units are sold in England where he has developed a loyal following and the guitars have become something of a cult symbol. There, his guitars fetch £1,600, excluding shipping. Mark is concerned about the effect of exchange rates on his materials costs and profit. Sales price in England: £1.600 You will find Figures 17-2 and 17-3 useful for this problem.

(1) In the quest for high-capacity battery electrodes, addressing capacity loss attributed to isolated active materials remains a challenge. (2) An approach to substantially recover the isolated active materials in silicon electrodes was developed using a voltage pulse to reconnect the isolated lithium-silicon (LixSi) particles back to the conductive network. (3) Using a 5-second pulse, >30% of capacity recovery in both Li-Si and Si–lithium iron phosphate (Si-LFP) batteries was achieved. (4) The recovered capacity sustains and replicates through multiple pulses, providing a constant capacity advantage. (5) The recovery mechanism as the movement of the neutral isolated LixSi particles under a localized nonuniform electric field, a phenomenon known as dielectrophoresis, was validated. (6) Overall, this work presents a pioneering approach to recover the lost active materials in Si electrodes, opening new opportunities to extend the cycle life in high-capacity electrode materials. Which sentence(s) capture the meaning behind the major findings (aka the discussion) from this study? Select all that apply.

a. Under absorption costing, the cost of goods manufactured includes direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead costs. Both fixed and variable factory costs are included in the calculation of the cost of goods sold. Sales: $1,665,000 Production costs: $799,200 (direct materials) + $384,000 (direct labor) + $192,000 (variable factory overhead) + $127,200 (fixed factory overhead) = $1,502,400 Gross profit: Sales - Cost of goods sold = $1,665,000 - $1,502,400 = $162,600 Selling and administrative expenses: $232,900 (variable) + $90,100 (fixed) = $323,000 Operating income: Gross profit - Selling and administrative expenses = $162,600 - $323,000 = -$160,400
