Equivalent production units are used in accounting to account for products still in production at the end of a reporting period. This allows for easier reporting of production costs and allocation of funds. The basic formula involves multiplying the number of partially completed units in inventory by the percentage of completion. Companies use this information […]
Knowing common portion sizes can help maintain a healthy diet. Measuring meat, fish, and poultry, a deck of cards or bar of soap is about 3 ounces. A cup of cooked rice or pasta is about the size of a tennis ball, and a cup of salad is about the size of a baseball. Planning […]
Equivalent circuits simplify analysis of existing circuits, with specific parameters such as frequency and temperature. They vary for different circuits and components, such as batteries, transformers, diodes, and motors. The equivalent circuit for a motor is determined by RPM and load torque. An equivalent circuit is a simplified model of an existing circuit that greatly […]
Early chemists defined equivalent weight as the weight of one substance reacting with another to form a third. Hydrogen was used as the standard, but easily purified metals were later used. Molar masses replaced equivalent weights, but they are still used in acid-base and reduction-oxidation reactions, mining, and polymer chemistry. Early chemists defined an equivalent […]
The equivalence point is the point in a titration where the substance being titrated reacts completely with the sample. It can be determined using indicators such as pH, color change, conductivity, or precipitation. The titrant is dripped into the analyte solution until the equivalence point is reached. In acid-base titrations, pH indicators are often used. […]
Bond equivalent yield is a way to compare the yield of a debt instrument with an interest-bearing coupon value. It is calculated by dividing the purchase price per thousand shares by the purchase price and multiplying it by a figure representing the time period. The purpose is to determine if the investment is worthwhile. The […]
