The amount of bell wire in inventory is to be approximated by weight. The weight of the wire is listed in the catalog as 2 1/4 ounces per 100 feet. An empty spool of the roll weighs 1 1/4 ounces. If the roll to be inventoried weighs 20 3/8 ounces, what is the approximate amount of wire on the spool in feet?
A cold storage locker plant shows that each locker should be large enough to
store about 300 lbs. of meat or measure about 20 in. by 20 in. by 3 ft. deep.
For this size of plant, it is found that a single story building 45 ft by 60 ft. will be
required to house lockers, refrigeration machinery, preparation room and
office. The building will have about 30,000 cu. ft. Determine the first cost with
