A company acquired 900 pounds of Material A at a total cost of $10,000.  The company then processed the 900 pounds of Material A into 700 pounds of Material B and 200 pounds of Material X at a cost of $5,000.  Material B can be sold for $50 per pound.  However, the company also has the option to process the 700 pounds of Material B into 550 pounds of material C (150 pounds are lost in the conversion process).  The processing costs would amount to $4,000.  The market value of material C is $75 per pound.  If the company chooses to process material B into material C, what is the effect on profitability?

3. Contrast what Source B and Source D reveal about international co-operation on global issues. Source B Adapted from Global Politics by Andrew Heywood, Palgrave Macmillan, 2011. Although lacking the economic influence that transnational corporations (TNCs) can exert, advocacy NGOs have proved highly skilled at mobilizing “soft” power and popular pressure. In this respect they have a number of advantages. Leading NGOs have developed high public profiles, often linked to public protests and demonstrations that attract eager media attention. Their typically altruistic and humanitarian objectives enable them to mobilize public support and apply moral pressure in a way that conventional politicians and political parties struggle to rival. On a wide range of issues the views of NGOs are taken to be both authoritative and impartial, based on the use of specialists and academics. Source D: Extract from “Strengthening Civil Society” from the Aga Khan Development Network website. The Aga Khan Development Network is a non-governmental organization which works to support development and address poverty in over 30 countries around the world. It has become clear to many governments that successful states require more than the introduction of democratic elections and political parties. Civil society, particularly indigenous NGOs, must play a central role in promoting good governance and accountability. But to be effective, NGOs must be well-run and well-governed themselves. They must operate under a code of ethics and governance that stresses accountability so that resources are not wasted. They must also have a quantifiable impact on development challenges, as measured  against well-recognized indicators, such as infant and maternal mortality, literacy and the reduction in the incidence of disease. Increasing community participation is also vital to progress.
