Answer:
the rate of return for each alternative if one year later the stock price is $120 is 100% and 20%
Explanation:
Price of buying call option = 10*1000 = 10000
After 1 year the person can reverse the trade and get profit without having to buy the stock.
Hence profit = 120-100 = 20
Minus call price = 10
Profit per each share = 10
On 1000 shares = 10,000
Hence profit = 10,000/10,000 = 100%
In case we buy stock:
Price of stock = 100*1000 = 100,000
Profit on one stock = 120-100 = 20
On 1000 stock = 20,000
Profit = 20,000/100,000 = 20%
Therefore,the rate of return for each alternative if one year later the stock price is $120 is 100% and 20%
Final answer:
The proposed investment scenario compares buying call options versus direct stock for Wal-Mart stock anticipated to rise. If the stock price increases from $100 to $120, investing in call options yields a 100% return due to leverage, whereas direct stock investment yields a 20% return.
Explanation:
The scenario provided asks about the rate of return using either call options or direct stock investment if Wal-Mart stock appreciates from $100 to $120 within one year. With $10,000, one could invest in either 1,000 call options (10 contracts) with an exercise price of $100 and a price of $10 each or buy 100 shares of the stock directly also at $100 each.
Calculating the Rate of Return for Call Options
If the stock price rises to $120, the value of the call option will also go up. Each call option is now worth $20 (stock price of $120 - exercise price of $100). This makes the total value of the options $20,000 (1,000 options x $20). Subtracted from this the initial investment of $10,000, we get a profit of $10,000. The rate of return on the call options would be the profit divided by the investment, which results in 100% (($10,000 / $10,000) x 100%).
Calculating the Rate of Return for Stock Investment
Investing in the stock itself at $100 per share, with $10,000 you could buy 100 shares. At the end of the year, if the stock price is $120, your investment is worth $12,000 (100 shares x $120). The profit is $2,000 ($12,000 - $10,000), and the rate of return is 20% (($2,000 / $10,000) x 100%).
Investing in call options in this case provides a much higher rate of return due to the leverage effect, which means that for the same amount of money, you control many more shares through options than you could if buying the stock outright. However, the risk is also higher with options, as they can expire worthless if the stock price does not rise above the exercise price by the expiration date.

Exercise 12-15B Direct: Computing cash flows LO P5 Case X: Compute cash received from customers: Sales $ 515,000 Accounts receivable, December 31, 2017 27,200 Accounts receivable, December 31, 2018 33,600 Case Y: Compute cash paid for rent: Rent expense $ 139,800 Rent payable, December 31, 2017 7,800 Rent payable, December 31, 2018 6,200 Case Z: Compute cash paid for inventory: Cost of goods sold $ 525,000 Inventory, December 31, 2017 158,600 Accounts payable, December 31, 2017 66,700 Inventory, December 31, 2018 130,400 Accounts payable, December 31, 2018 82,000 For each of the above three separate cases, use the information provided about the calendar-year 2018 operations of Sahim Company to compute the required cash flow information.
Answer:
1. $508,600
2. $141,400
3. $481,500
Explanation:
Case X:
Cash Received From Customers:
= Sales + Opening Account Receivable - Closing Account Receivable
= 515,000 + 27,200 - 33,600
= $508,600
Case Y:
Cash Paid For Rent:
= Opening Rent Payable + Rent Expenses - Closing Rent Payable
= 7,800 + 139,800 - 6,200
= $141,400
Case Z:
Purchase = Cost of Goods Sold + Closing Inventory - Opening Inventory
= 525,000 + 130,400 - 158,600
= $496,800
Cash Paid For Merchandise:
= Opening Account Payable + Purchase - Closing Account Payable
= 66,700 + 496,800 - 82,000
= $481,500
Final answer:
To calculate the required cash flow information for each case, you can use the given information. For Case X, compute cash received from customers by subtracting the increase in accounts receivable from sales. For Case Y, compute cash paid for rent by subtracting the decrease in rent payable from rent expense. For Case Z, compute cash paid for inventory by subtracting the increase in accounts payable from cost of goods sold and subtracting the increase in inventory.
Explanation:
For Case X: Compute cash received from customers:
Sales: $515,000
Accounts receivable, December 31, 2017: $27,200
Accounts receivable, December 31, 2018: $33,600
To calculate cash received from customers, we need to subtract the increase in accounts receivable from sales:
Cash received from customers = Sales - Increase in accounts receivable
= $515,000 - ($33,600 - $27,200) = $515,000 - $6,400 = $508,600
For Case Y: Compute cash paid for rent:
Rent expense: $139,800
Rent payable, December 31, 2017: $7,800
Rent payable, December 31, 2018: $6,200
To calculate cash paid for rent, we need to subtract the decrease in rent payable from rent expense:
Cash paid for rent = Rent expense - Decrease in rent payable
= $139,800 - ($6,200 - $7,800) = $139,800 - $1,600 = $138,200
For Case Z: Compute cash paid for inventory:
Cost of goods sold: $525,000
Inventory, December 31, 2017: $158,600
Accounts payable, December 31, 2017: $66,700
Inventory, December 31, 2018: $130,400
Accounts payable, December 31, 2018: $82,000
To calculate cash paid for inventory, we need to subtract the increase in accounts payable from cost of goods sold and subtract the increase in inventory:
Cash paid for inventory = Cost of goods sold - Increase in accounts payable + Decrease in inventory
= $525,000 - ($82,000 - $66,700) + ($158,600 - $130,400) = $525,000 - $15,300 + $28,200 = $537,900
Workers are compensated by firms with "benefits" in addition to wages and salaries. The most prominent benefit offered by many firms is health insurance. Suppose that in 2000, workers at one steel plant were paid $20 per hour and in addition received health benefits at the rate of $4 per hour. Also suppose that by 2010 workers at that plant were paid $21 per hour but received $9 in health insurance benefits. By what percentage did the wage change at this plant from 2000 to 2010?
Answer:
The percentage by which wage changes from 2000 to 2010 is 2.26 %.
Explanation:
This problem requires us to calculate the wage change from 2000 to 2010 in percent. The wage rate in 2000 and 2010 is given that is 24 dollars (20+4) and 30 (21 + 9). To calculate the rate of change we will use following formula.
Growth Rate = (Present/ past)^ (1/n") -1
" n is period range
(Putting values)
= (30/24)^ (1/10) -1
= 2.26 %
Suppose that at the beginning of 2019 Jamaal's basis in his S corporation stock is $0, he has a $0 debt basis associated with a $16,000 loan he made to the S corporation, and he has a $11,000 suspended loss from the S corporation. In 2019, Jamaal contributed $14,000 to the S corporation, and the S corporation had ordinary income of $10,000. Assume that Jamaal owns 40 percent of the S corporation. How much net income or loss does Jamaal report this year from the S corporation?
Answer:
-$7,000
Explanation:
Net loss reported by Jamaal this year from the S corporation:
= Ordinary income - suspended loss from the S corporation
= (40 percent of the S corporation × Ordinary income) - suspended loss from the S corporation
= (40% × $10,000) - $11,000
= $4,000 - $11,000
= -$7,000
Jamaal may deduct the $11000 loss carryover against his debt basis,
which was increased by his $14,000 contribution,
and his $4,000 share of S corporation income.
Elkins Corporation uses the perpetual inventory method. On March 1, it purchased $20,000 of inventory, terms 2/10, n/30. On March 3, Elkins returned goods that cost $2,000.
On March 9, Elkins paid the supplier. On March 9, Elkins should credit :
a. purchase discounts for $400.
b. inventory for $400.
c. purchase discounts for $360.
d. inventory for $360.
Answer:
d. inventory for $360.
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Account payable A/c Dr $18,000
To Cash A/c $17,640
To Inventory A/c $360
(Being the payment is recorded)
The computation of the account payable
= Purchased goods - returned goods
= $20,000 - $2,000
= $18,000
And, the discount would be
= Accounts payable × percentage given
= $18,000 × 2%
= $360
The remaining amount would be credited to the cash account.

a. If the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows
b. What is the present value at 18 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations
c. What is the present value at 24 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations e.g., 32.16.) and round your answer to 2 decimal places,
Answer:
Explanation:
Cash flow is 530 , 690 , 875 and 1090 in 1st to 4 th year respectively
discount rate = 10 %
NPV = 530/ 1.10 + 690 / (1.10)² + 875/(1.10)³ + 1090/ (1.10)⁴
= (530x1.10³ + 690 x 1.10² + 875x 1.10 + 1090)/ 1.10⁴
= (705.43 x +834.9 +962.5 +1090)1.10⁴
= 3592.83 / 1.10⁴
= 2453.95
Discount rate 18%
NPV = 530/ 1.18 + 690 / (1.18)² + 875/(1.18)³ + 1090/ (1.18)⁴
= (530x1.18³ + 690 x 1.18² + 875x 1.18 + 1090)/ 1.18⁴
= (870.80696 +960.756 +1032.5 +1090)1.18⁴
= 2039.46
Discount rate 24%
NPV = 530/ 1.24 + 690 / (1.24)² + 875/(1.24)³ + 1090/ (1.24)⁴
= (530x1.24³ + 690 x 1.24² + 875x 1.24 + 1090)/ 1.24⁴
1010.51072+ 1060.944+1085+1090 / 1.24⁴
= 1796.14
Divine Apparel has 3,100 shares of common stock outstanding. On October 1, the company declares a $0.75 per share dividend to stockholders of record on October 15. The dividend is paid on October 31. Record all transactions on the appropriate dates for cash dividends. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)1) Record the declaration of cash dividends.2) Record the entry on date of record.3) Record the payment of cash dividends
Final answer:
To record the cash dividends transactions, follow these steps: 1) Record the declaration of cash dividends. 2) Record the entry on the date of record. 3) Record the payment of cash dividends.
Explanation:
To record the cash dividends transactions, we need to follow the following steps:
Record the declaration of cash dividends: On October 1, we will debit Retained Earnings for the total amount of cash dividends, $0.75 per share, multiplied by the number of shares outstanding, 3,100. This would decrease Retained Earnings and create a liability called Dividends Payable.Record the entry on the date of record: On October 15, we do not need to record any journal entry since this is just a record-keeping date which determines who the shareholders are that will receive the dividends.Record the payment of cash dividends: On October 31, we will debit Dividends Payable for the total amount of cash dividends, $0.75 per share, multiplied by the number of shares outstanding, 3,100. We will also credit Cash for the same amount. This will decrease the liability of Dividends Payable and provide a decrease in assets with the cash payment.American car dealers are still not completely back on their feet from a recent economic downturn. In order to help American car companies like Ford and GM gain more sales, Senator Joseph Ellis has proposed that all automobiles imported from Japan and Germany should pay an extra $2,000 per vehicle to enter the United States. (This would not affect cars from foreign car companies like Toyota and BMW that are built in factories in the United States, only those cars that are actually transported from overseas into the United States.Type of trade barrier: _________________________The trade barrier meant to protect _________________________.Argument for why you would or would not recommend this proposal:_________
Answer:
The answer is Tariffs.
Explanation:
To put it simply, tariffs are taxes put upon imported goods from foreign countries.
However, imported means actual and physical goods that are physically transported from one country to another.
These tariffs are imposed to protect the local industries/goods and services. Tariffs increase the price of imported goods which are usually cheaper than the locally produced goods, thus increasing the demand for the local goods.
I would recommend this as certain financially stronger foreign corporations do various illegal and unethical practices such as Dumping (selling below the production cost) which can be harmful for the local industries in the long term.
Moreover, a nation should focus more on developing entrepreneur capacities within their own countries rather than majorly relying on imported goods.
In addition, local small and medium businesses contribute to the employment more. Making it much important to protect the local industries.
Standing in line at a small-town grocery store gives people a chance to socialize. Is this a positive externality associated with the act of shopping? Why or why not?
a. Yes, because chatting with others is not inherently part of buying groceries
b. No, because the benefit is to the shoppers, not to third parties.
c. Yes, because in large cities such socializing would not occur.
d. No, because people can casily socialize elsewhere, as well.
e. Yes. because not every shopper is in a mood to talk.
Answer:
A. Yes, because chatting with others is not inherently part of buying groceries
Explanation:
When a third party benefits from the transaction between two parties its is known as economic transaction. For example when the parents pay for college education for their children, school and the parents are not the only beneficiaries , it is also beneficial for the society as the student would become a good citizen and that would solve many social problems itself.
Standing in line at small town grocery store gives the people chance to socialise. It is part of positive externality because chatting with others is not inherently part of buying groceries, it is an extra benefit for the buyers.

Answer:
Option (b) Decline 20%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Firm X has declared a stock dividend that pays one share of stock for every five shares owned
Therefore,
The increase in number of shares
= [ 1 ÷ 5 ] × 100%
= 20%
Thus,
The earnings per share will decrease by the amount of increase in number of shares i.e decrease by 20%
Hence,
Option (b) Decline 20%
Bismite Corporation purchases trees from Cheney lumber and processes them up to the split-off point where two products (paper and pencil casings) are obtained. The products are then sold to an independent company that markets and distributes them to retail outlets. The following information was collected for the month of October:
Trees processed: 310 trees
Production: paper 180,000 sheets
pencil casings 180,000
Sales: paper 170,000 at $0.20 per page
pencil casings 177,500 at $0.24 per casing
The cost of purchasing 310 trees and processing them up to the split-off point to yield 180,000 sheets of paper and 180,000 pencil casings is $12,500. Bismite's accounting department reported no beginning inventory.
What are the paper's and the pencil's approximate weighted cost proportions using the sales value at split-off method, respectively?
Answer:
Paper = 0.45 and Pencil = 0.55
Explanation:
For computing the weighatge cost proportions, first we have to determine the sales value at split off point which is shown below:
For paper, it would be
= 180,000 × $0.20
= $36,000
For pencil, it would be
= 180,000 × $0.24
= $43,200
Now the total sales would be
= $36,000 + $43,200
= $79,200
Now the weightage would be
For paper = Paper sales ÷ Total sales
= $36,000 ÷ $79,200
= 0.45
For pencil = Paper sales ÷ Total sales
= $43,200 ÷ $79,200
= 0.55
To calculate the approximate weighted cost proportions of paper and pencil casings using the sales value at split-off method, divide the sales value of each product by the total sales value of both products.
Explanation:In order to determine the approximate weighted cost proportions of paper and pencil casings using the sales value at split-off method, we need to consider the sales value of each product and divide it by the total sales value of both products.
The sales value of paper is $0.20 per page, and the sales value of pencil casings is $0.24 per casing.
Using the given sales figures, the total sales value for paper is $34,000 (170,000 pages x $0.20 per page), and the total sales value for pencil casings is $42,600 (177,500 casings x $0.24 per casing).
The approximate weighted cost proportion of paper can be calculated by dividing the sales value of paper by the total sales value of both products: $34,000 / ($34,000 + $42,600) = 0.444.
The approximate weighted cost proportion of pencil casings can be calculated by dividing the sales value of pencil casings by the total sales value of both products: $42,600 / ($34,000 + $42,600) = 0.556.

Net income was $450,000. Beginning and ending stockholders' equity was $4,000,000 and $4,800,000, respectively. Beginning total assets = $6,000,000 and ending total assets = $6,600,000. What was the return on assets (ROA)?
A. 6.188%
B. 7.143%
C. 7.5%
D. 10.227%
Answer:
The correct answer is B. 7.143 %.
Explanation:
Return on assets is a profitability ratio that provides how much profit a company is able to generate from its assets. In other words, return on assets (ROA) measures how efficient a company's management is in generating earnings from their economic resources or assets on their balance sheet. ROA is shown as a percentage, and the higher the number, the more efficient a company's management is at managing its balance sheet to generate income.
The formula to calculate it is given below.
ROA = Net Income/Average total asset * 100
= 450,000/ 6,300,000*
= 7.14 %
*= (6,000,000 + 6,300,000)/2
Highly Suspect Corp. has current liabilities of $415,000, a quick ratio of .79, inventory turnover of 9.5, and a current ratio of 1.25. What is the cost of goods sold for the company?
Answer:
1. Current ratio = Current assets
Current liabilities
1.25 = Current assets
$415,000
Current assets = 1.25 x $415,000
Current assets = $518,759
2. Quick ratio= Current assets - Inventory
Current liabilities
0.79 = $518,750 - Inventory
$415,000
0.79 x $415,000 = $518,750 - Inventory
$327,850 = $518,750 - Inventory
Inventory = $518,750 - $327,850
Inventory = $190,900
3. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold
Inventory
9.5 = Cost of goods sold
$190,900
Cost of goods sold = 9.5 x $190,900
Cost of goods sold = $1,813,550
Explanation:
In the first instance, there is need to apply the formula of current ratio in which current ratio and current assets have been given with the exception of current assets. Therefore, current asset is made the subject of the formula.
In the second case, we will apply the formula of quick ratio, where quick ratio, current assets and current liabilities were known except the inventory. Inventory becomes the subject of the formula.
Finally, we will apply the formula of inventory turnover, where inventory and inventory turnover were known, cost of goods sold is made the subject of the formula.
Cost of goods sold to a company is $1,813,550. The explanation part is attached in the form of image for better understanding.
What is inventory turnover?The inventory turnover ratio determines how often inventory is sold and replaced over a predetermined period of time. Inventory turnover ratio is Average Inventory divided by Cost of Goods Sold.
Inventory turnover measures the frequency with which a company's stock is changed in relation to its cost of sales. A higher ratio is preferred in general. Slow sales or overstocking may be indicated by a low inventory turnover ratio it is also known as surplus inventory.
The average yearly inventory is essentially inventory turnover. It shows how frequently the business has sold stock over a given period of time. This figure is significant since it allows businesses to plan their next financial activities.
Thus, it is $1,813,550.

B. A bond which has a price of $875, a Yield to Maturity of 3.95%, and a Current Yield of 3.80%
C. A bond which has a price of $825, a Yield to Maturity of 3.5%, and a Current Yield of 3.45%
D. A bond which has a price of $925, a Yield to Maturity of 3.75%, and a Current Yield of 3.65%
Answer:
A. A bond which has a price of $850, a Yield to Maturity of 4%, and a Current Yield of 3.75%
Explanation:
Since George is focussed on achieving a high total return for his portfolio, he will consider adding a bond whose yield to maturity (YTM) is the highest. Among these options, option A would be ideal since it has a 4% YTM; he would probably not consider if the price of $850 is high or not . This is the annual interest rate paid on the bond investment.
Fuller Company builds swimming pools. Fuller budgets that they will sell 12 pools during the month of April at a price of $20,176 per pool. Actual pools sold by Fuller during April were 16 pools at a price of $20,992 per pool. What is the Sales Volume Variance for April? If the variance is unfavorable, use a negative sign right before the number with no space in between.
Answer:
$80,704
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Budgeted Price = $20,176 per pool
Budgeted quantity = 12 pools
Actual quantity = 16 pools
Actual price = $20,992 per pool
Now,
Sales Volume Variance
= ( Actual Quantity - Budgeted Quantity) × Budgeted price
Thus,
Sales Volume Variance for April = ( 16 - 12 ) × $20,176
or
Sales Volume Variance for April = $80,704
Final answer:
The Sales Volume Variance for April is $80,704.
Explanation:
To calculate the Sales Volume Variance, you need to compare the budgeted sales volume with the actual sales volume.
The formula for Sales Volume Variance is (Actual Quantity - Budgeted Quantity) x Budgeted Price.
In this case, the budgeted quantity is 12 pools and the actual quantity is 16 pools, while the budgeted price is $20,176 per pool.
Therefore, the Sales Volume Variance for April is -
= (16 - 12) x $20,176
= $80,704.

Campbell Inc. produces and sells outdoor equipment. On July 1, 20Y1, Campbell issued $30,000,000 of 10-year, 10% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 9%, receiving cash of $31,951,110. Interest on the bonds is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30. The fiscal year of the company is the calendar year.
Answer:Interest payment = $1,350,000, Total cash paid = $57,000,000
Explanation:
Coupon Face value = $30,000,000, coupon interest rate = 9% = 9÷100 = 0.09, period = 10 years since the payment is semi - annually , period is multiplied by 2 = 10 ×2 =20, semi annually = 6/12
To calculate the interest payment, we use the formula
Face value of the bond × coupon interest rate × semi- annual payment
= 30,000,000 × 0.09 × 6/12
= $1,350,000
To calculate the total cash paid to investors over the life of the bond, we use
Interest payment × period
Since period = 20
1,350,000 × 20
= $27,000,000
Therefore the total cash paid = $30,000,000 + $27,000,000
= $57,000,000
Campbell Inc receive a premium more cash than the principal amount from the purchaser .The purchaser is willing to pay more because the purchaser of the bond will receive interest payment of $1,350,000

Data provided in the question:
Number of shares owned = 1,000
Cost of stocks 3 years ago = $36,000
Number of shares sold = 1,000
Selling value = $10,000
Now,
Loss on sale of 1000 Shares = Sale value - Purchase value
or
Loss on sale of 1000 Shares = $36,000 - $10,000
or
Loss on sale of 1000 Shares = $26,000
Hence,
answer is option (A) $26,000
An increase in the amount of household wealth in an economy would ________ the average standard of living and would ________ the spending power experienced by the typical person.a. raise; have little effect onb. raise; improvec. raise; reduced. have no effect on; improvee. lower; reduce
Answer: raise; have little effect on is the correct option
Explanation:Wealth is understood as ownership of economic capital. It is viewed as a
dimension of people’s economic (or material) well-being, alongside income and
consumption. There are other concepts of capital that are important to people’s well-being
and complement the concept of economic capital, such as human capital, social capital
and collectively-held assets. However, while they may have considerable economic value to
the people that possess (or have access to) them, they are not material assets and liabilities
over which people can exercise ownership rights.
Information on household wealth is important at both the macro and micro levels.
Wealth is one of the key components of the economic system. It is a source of finance for
future consumption, for reducing vulnerability to shocks and to other unexpected
developments, and for undertaking business and other economic activities. At both the
macro and micro levels, household wealth statistics play a vital role in informing responses
to a wide range of policy and research questions. However, the perspectives and insights
provided at each level are also quite different. The primary focus
at the macro level is on the household sector’s wealth, its relation with the other sectors of
the economy, and its role within the broader economic system; conversely, the primary
focus at the micro level is on the wealth of individual households and its distribution
across different types of households.
A home buyer bought a house for $245,000. The buyer paid 20 percent down but decided to finance closing costs of 3 percent of the mortgage amount. If the borrower took out a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at a 5 percent annual interest rate, how much interest will the borrower pay over the life of the mortgage
Answer:
Interest = $188,264.78
Explanation:
given data
present value = $245,000
rate = 20 %
finance closing costs = 3 percent
time = 30 year
fixed rate mortgage = 5 % annual = [tex]\frac{0.05}{12}[/tex] monthly
to find out
interest will the borrower pay
solution
we will apply here present value of annuity formula for find annuity that is
present value annuity = Annuity × [tex]\frac{1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}[/tex] ..........1
put here value we get
$245,000 × 0.80 × 1.03 = Annuity × [tex]\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{-30*12}}{\frac{0.05}{12}}[/tex]
solve it we get
$201,880 = annuity × [tex]\frac{0.7762}{0.0042}[/tex]
annuity = $1,083.74
so now we get interest that is
interest = annuity × 360 - present value annuity ..............2
interest = $1,083.74 × 360 - ( $245,000 × 0.80 × 1.03 )
Interest = $188,264.78

What is the preferred method of controlling environmentally hazardous materials during manufacturing, operations, and disposal?
A. Source reduction or elimination is the most highly preferred control strategy.
B. Treatment of hazardous wastes is preferred over recycling because of lower manufacturing costs.
C. Disposal is the preferred method because of new technologies and improved landfill processes.
D. Recycling is preferred over source reduction because reuse of hazardous substances costs less than substituting alternate processes.
Answer:
b,
Explanation:
treatment of hazardous waste is preferred to the other options, in a sense they all have side effect. But if waste are treated it reduces the rate of pollution.
The most preferable method to control environmentally hazardous materials is source reduction or elimination, which involves changing manufacturing processes to produce less or no hazardous materials.
The preferred method for controlling environmentally hazardous materials during manufacturing, operations, and disposal is source reduction or elimination. This control strategy is higher on the environmental hierarchy than treatment, recycling, and disposal. While these other methods can also help to mitigate the impact of hazardous materials on the environment, they are less preferable because they do not eliminate the problem at its root. Source reduction involves altering the manufacturing process to lower or eliminate the production of hazardous materials, thereby preventing environmental harm before it begins.
