What is the difference between profit and gain?

Profit is related to monetary and material growth. Gain is in kind, it's beyond money.

it's difficult to explain in detail but it's very much like the difference between price and value. That's the reason why we always "gain new skills and knowledge" and not "profit skills and knowledge !!!!!!!!!!!!!"Truly, we should look after maximum gain rather than maximum profit in all our dealings.

Is Shell Alvania Grease RL3 not suitable for DC motors?

Why not?

AC motors are usually run at constant and DC motors at veriable speeds.

Simply ac or dc motor type should not have any effect on bearings & grease.

Bearing type, operating temperatures, speed, load, duty etc. determine the suitable type of grease and regreasing intervals.

Most of the times motor manufacturers give the info on motor name plate if the motor bearings require regreasing. It is adviseable to always refer to motor or bearing manufacturer recommendations.

Shell Alvania RL3 is suitable for medium size motors (with ball bearings) running at 40C ambient temperatures.

What is the true cost of manufacturing a carton of Marlboro cigarettes?

Here is a typical manuacturing model from "Health Canada" website.

Notice taxes taking $42.89 out of the proposed $53.01 wholesale price. This is a Canadian site and dollar amounts are Canadian. US and Canadian exchange rates at time of article (2002) are apporximately $1 Canadian =$.63 US. Canadian taxes have typically been higher than US rates on tobacco products. Production costs in US are believed by many to be less due to superior automation and local tobacco farming.

"To analyse the impact of an ignition propensity standard on cigarette manufacturing costs, a baseline model of the cost structure of a representative cigarette manufacturer was developed. Exhibit 2-9 presents this model.

The figures in Exhibit 2-9 show that total manufacturing costs (i.e., before operating profits and taxes) for a representative cigarette manufacturer are approximately $5.70 per carton. Of this amount, materials comprise the major cost factor, while labour constitutes a relatively small portion of costs, reflecting the largely automated nature of cigarette production. Purchased leaf tobacco is the largest single cost input at $1.15 per carton, or more than 20 percent of total costs. Handling, transport and storage costs for tobacco at the early stage of production are also significant, at approximately 17 percent of total costs. Subsequent steps in the production process - tobacco processing, plug making, and cigarette making - together account for approximately 19 percent of total costs. Packaging and shipping costs represent 14 percent of the total, while general business expenses (which include building depreciation and overhead) account for the remaining 30 percent.

The model estimates operating profits of $4.43 per carton. Thus, operating profits represent approximately 44 percent of the before-tax wholesale price of a carton of cigarettes. When taxes are taken into account, however, the price charged by manufacturers - an estimated $10.12 per carton - represents only 19 percent of the estimated wholesale price of $53.01 per carton.

Did Eli Whitney receive an award?

No. Awards were not given out like they are today. His cotton gin invention was copied because it was so simple to make and he didn't make any money from it. He went to court to protect his patent but the costs of court and other reasons deprived him of his profits. In 1789 he was granted a government contract to make 10,000 muskets using his new process of interchangeable parts. Although the concept of interchangeable parts wasn't new and didn't come in use until the machine tool industry was developed his factory at Mill Rock was the first to use the process. This time he did make money on his invention. When he finally died in 1825 he was a wealthy man and his firm was passed to his son. Eventually, this became the Winchester Arms Company.

Does Saint Lucia trade with Canada?

Yes, St. Lucia trades with Canada. There is a trade arrangement between Canada and the Caribbean Community (for trade in goods) which benefits the wider CARICOM region in accessing the Canadian market almost entirely duty free. Therefore almost (if not all) all merchandise imports from St. Imports enter Canada duty free.

Actually, within the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), St. Lucia imports account for about 60% of total imports from Canada. On the export side, total exports as percentage of total trade is less than 1% (showing the smallness in size and productive capacity of the small island states of the Caribbean).

Major Canadian imports to St. Lucia mainly compose of agricultural products like fruits (including grapes, melons, pineapples, apples etc), vegetables (including cauliflower, tomatoes, cabbages, carrots, mushroom, potatoes and other potatoes), sweet biscuits; waffles and wafers and meat of swine products and other non-alcoholic beverages.

Non agricultural products like used pneumatic tyres of rubber, new stamps, stamp impressed paper, cheque forms and articles of jewellery saw surges in import values whilst emerging products like lubricating oils seem to have the potential of growing in value.

This information relates to trade between St. Lucia and Canada for 2005 to 2007. Major exports from St. Lucia to Canada include bananas; including plantains, fresh or dried, other fruits including golden apple, passion fruit, breadfruit etc Canadian imports to St. Lucia have been growing since 2005 growing by 60% between 2005 and 2006 (EC$ 117m to EC$187m) before falling by 6% (EC$ 187m to 176m) between 2006 and 2007.

Why do your 2000 Mercury Mountaineer smells like something is burning sometimes?

Many times the problem is a valve cover gasket(s) that has leaked oil onto the hot exhaust manifold underneath it. When you have stopped in traffic, or if you are on a hill, etc., the oil that has leaked has a chance to run down on the hot manifold and smells like rubber or oil burning. Most of the time this is just a nuisance but it should be repaired if is bad enough to the point you can smell it in your car or truck.
