Question:

A financial team has been properly selected and charged to proceed with its analysis of EEV's financial statements. In the course of its evaluation, it will be assessing the firm's operating performance, benchmarking its competitors, and looking at the industry using financial ratios as its source of measurement.

The income statement measures the firm's profitability over a period of time: 1 month, 1 quarter, or 1 year. The statement focuses on the operations of the firm and explains what was produced and sold. In essence, it summarizes revenues generated and the results.

Tony understands that managing profitability involves overseeing 3 interrelated factors: volume, cost, and price. He has given you the job of conducting an in-depth analysis of EEV's operating performance. You will analyze the following factors:

Sales volume, cost, and price of each specific product

Each product's contribution to sales in terms of profit

The relationship between sales and supportive employment

Tony has made it clear that he expects you to initiate a constructive discussion by describing your findings both in narrative form and through an organized numeric presentation.

Click here to view the EEV income statement, and then complete the following in your paper:

Review the sales volume, cost, and price of each specific product.

Review each product's contribution to sales in terms of profit.

Describe the relationship between sales and supportive employment.

Provide an Excel spreadsheet that depicts your findings along with your analysis.

The schematic diagram of a typical gas turbine engine is illustrated in Figure Q3. The gas turbine engine draws air at 26-C at one bar and the maximum pressure limit of the cycle is 900 kPa. The effectiveness of the regenerator Is 80 percent and the efficiency of each compressor and turbine is 82 percent and 87 percent, respectively. This gas turbine engine used natural gas as a fuel for all heat input processes with a heating value of 53 MJ/kg burned al constant pressure in the combustion chamber of 90 percent efficiency and produces 1325-C maximum temperature. This gas turbine engine is designed to produces 85 KW of net power output. With the ald of T-s diagram based on the states in Figure Q4 and ulilizing cold air standard assumptions, determine; I) the specific heat input at combustion chamber, in) the total specific heat input al regenerator, fi) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and iv) the cost of the natural gas in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) to run this engine continuously at constant load per day If the price of the natural gas is approximately 0.25 cent per gram.
