A. Consider a hydrogen atom with one electron and quantized energy levels. The lowest energy level (n = 1) is the ground state, with energy -13.6 eV. There are four states corresponding to the next lowest energy (n = 2), each with energy-3.4 eV. For the questions below, consider one of these four states, called one of the first excited states. 2. Assume that this hydrogen atom is present in a gas at room temperature (T ~ 300 K, kBT...

Surveys show that approximately 30% of companies actually use ABC. At the same time, a world-wide survey of almost 350 companies showed that 87% of respondents said that their ideal costing system would include some form of ABC. What are some of the reasons that explain why so many companies say that ideally they would use ABC, but haven’t yet adopted it?
