Baldwin has a new design for their product Bid next round that can reduce their material cost of producing units from $8.14 to $7.32. Baldwin passes on half of all cost savings by cutting the current price to customers. For simplicity: - Use current labor costs of $4.21 - Assume all period costs as reported on Baldwin's Income Statement (Annual Rpt Pg 2) will remain the same. Determine how many units (000) of product Bid would need to be sold next round to break even on the product.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
