KENNECOTT COPPER CORPORATION CASE REPORT 1. Analyze the economic rationale of the Carborundum acquisition. Under what conditions an acquisition would be expected to add to shareholder value in general? Do any of these reasons apply to Carborundum acquisition? Prior to the consideration of Carborundum as an acquisition target‚ Kennecott‚ a copper company‚ pursued an acquisition of Peabody‚ a coal company‚ for $285 million in cash in 1968. There are two main rationales behind the acquisition of

Copper was the first metal that is used by humans as weapons and tools. It is shinny and has a reddish brown color. It’s application toward humans has really changed the way we live. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity‚ which is often used as electrical wires or cables in generators‚ motors and electric products. In addition‚ it is also an outstanding conductor of heat‚ which is used in radiators and heating systems. Since it does not react with water and corrode easily‚ it is widely

If they would have waited to open the mine for the waste storage to be completely finished they never would have started disposing trailing in the river. * Environmental damage along the Ok Tedi. The environment that is affected is the river‚ the fish‚ the forest area along the river‚ the gardens‚ and hunting resources. The damage is already done to the environment.

When trying to decide between copper and fiber cabling‚ there are several things to think about for which one best will fit your needs. A few things you will need to take into consideration when making your decision are what do you need your cable to be capable of‚ how far do you need your cable to run from point to point‚ what is your budget‚ and always think about the future with room to expand your business. Both copper and fiber cabling have pros and cons. Copper cabling has been around ever

Copper vs Fiber They are two major types of cables used in networking‚ copper and fiber. Each cable are used in different application regarding to its usage. They also have different strengths cause of the material they are made of. Copper is the most common out of the two cables. Not as powerful as Fiber‚ but are ideal for buildings up to 100m. Fiber is mostly used for longer distances that copper can’t reach. For example‚ Fiber is ideal for high-rise buildings. Both cables do have their weakness

Problem Does temperature affect the resistivity of different sized copper wires? Hypothesis I think that the resistivity will increase with higher temperatures because with higher temperature‚ resistivity is higher due to the fact the atomic lattice structure increases. Background Electrical resistivity is the measurement of how a material opposes the flow of an electrical current. On the other hand‚ electrical conductivity () is the inverse of resistivity. It is the measurement

Daniel Osherow ENGR 1301 5 December 2012 Copper Wire Sizes (EE) The diameter of a copper wire is measured by using a system called the American Wire Gauge also known as AWG. This system has predominantly been used in the United States and Canada since 1857. Using this measurement the cross-sectional area of a gauge is able to be found. We then use this area to determine the wires current carrying capacity. The gauge numbers for wire and diameter values work inversely‚ as when one increases the

experiment‚ we were trying to see whether copper‚ after a chain of chemical reactions‚ will revert back to its elemental form. Procedure: First‚ I added nitric acid with copper in a beaker‚ which turned into a copper nitrate‚ a blue-green solution. Afterwards‚ I added sodium hydroxide‚ and my solution colored to a dark blue solution called copper hydroxide. I heated the solution to evaporate the water and I got a brownish-blackish solid called copper oxide. Once the solid appeared‚ I poured
