In recent years, there has been a large push for an increase in the use of renewable resources to produce the energy we need to power our vehicles. one of the newer fuels that has become more widely available is e85, a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. despite being more environmentally friendly, one of the potential drawbacks of e85 fuel is that it produces less energy than conventional gasoline. assume a car gets 28.0 mi/gal using gasoline at $3.50/girl and 22.5 mi/gal using e85 at $2.85/gal. how much will it cost to drive 500. miles using each fuel?

Ultravision inc. anticipates sales of $280,000 from january through april. materials will represent 50 percent of sales, and because of level production, material purchases will be equal for each month during the four months of january, february, march, and april. materials are paid for one month after the month purchased. materials purchased in december of last year were $24,000 (half of $48,000 in sales). labor costs for each of the four months are slightly different due to a provision in the labor contract in which bonuses are paid in february and april. the labor figures are: january $14,000 february 17,000 march 14,000 april 19,000 fixed overhead is $10,000 per month. prepare a schedule of cash payments for january through april. (assume the $280,000 of sales occur equally over the four months of january through april, i.e. monthly sales = $280,000 / 4.)
