To understand the interplay of observations and models you must first be able to distinguish between things that we observe and things that we infer from models. Consider the following statements about the Sun. Classify each statement as an observation or as an inference based on the current, accepted model for the Sun. Observations
the photosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium
the photosphere emits mostly visible light.
the corona is hotter than the photosphere.
the sun emits neutrinos.
the sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium in its core.
the core temperature is 10 million k
the convection zone is cooler than the radiation zone.
the composition of the photosphere is the same as that of the gas cloud that gave birth to our solar system.

Harwood company uses a job-order costing system that applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. the company's predetermined overhead rate of $2.50 per machine-hour was based on a cost formula that estimates $240,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 96,000 machine-hours. required: 1. assume that during the year the company works only 91,000 machine-hours and incurs the following costs in the manufacturing overhead and work in process accounts: compute the amount of overhead cost that would be applied to work in process for the year and make the entry in your t-accounts. 2a. compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year and show the balance in your manufacturing overhead t-account. 2b. prepare a journal entry to close the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.

What is one counter argument to the premise that the wealth gap is a serious problem which needs to be addressed?

Andy purchases only two goods, apples (a) and kumquats (k). he has an income of $125 and can buy apples at $5 per pound and kumquats at $5 per pound. his utility function is u(a, k) = 6a + 2k. what is his marginal utility for apples and his marginal utility for kumquats? andy's marginal utility for apples (mu subscript a) is mu subscript aequals 6 and his marginal utility for kumquats (mu subscript k) is
