...traded at stockbroker firm. The more trading the firm has the higher the revenues of the firm as fees are generated every time there is a customer trading stocks. Interaction and components The first loop labeled as loop A consist of the primary function system of the stockbroker firm. The components and its functions create a reinforced loop as all its components reinforce the next one to bring a higher or lower outcome. For instance, the more stock selling the stockbroker firm deals with, the more fees it is able to generate which consequently gives higher revenues and profits to the firm. When a company has a good track record of revenues and profits it seeks to make it grow and have a bigger market share. This consequently gives a better reputation of the firm and finally an increase in the selling of its product which reinforces the loop. It is important to note that if the outlook is negative, it will also reinforce the loop in a negative way were all the components will bring a negative to the next one. The second most important aspect for the loop is the inputs in the loop which in this case is the money going towards the stock purchase and the outputs of the loop A which depicts the money being spend in the development and growth of the stockbroker firm. The second loop...

...today have recycling programs to emphasize that. New York City has the biggest recycling program because they are the “capital of trash”. With that being said, New York faces problems on where to dump their trash. The recycling program began to sell their trash to firms, to make other products, in hope of making a profit. Unfortunately, they had more expenses than revenues. The supply for trash is higher than its demand. Meaning most of the trash people recycle is piling up somewhere. There are two solutions to this problem, closed-loop recycling or getting the government involved. Closed-loop recycling requires companies to create their own markets...

...Capital punishment is the legal process where a person may have to pay the ultimate price with death. Many countries have abolished capital punishment, and these countries seem like they are on the right path. They think nobody deserves death no matter the circumstance or do they? Capital punishment is like a double edge sword. The motto, "Eye for an Eye" is that really justice or murder. In the victim's eye, that is justice but for the convicted family members nothing but murder. How do we justify murder in our legal system? If our legal system convicts someone of murder with the capital punishment, why not sentence to death immediately. Do we really need to prolong the time if there is not doubt that they committed the crime? What purpose does that serve? The victims of the family never have closure. If they took the life of another human being, why should theirs be spared? But what if later, evidence proves the innocence, is that really justice being serve. The justification one life for another will always be debatably. Our prisons are over populated with people sitting on death row. The overwhelming cost to the tax payers is astounding. It would make sense, if the person who committed the crime pays for the crime with his or her life and not sit on death row for years abusing the legal system, and every single loop hole. In the same sense, what if the person is wrongly convicted and again the legal system loop holes puts an innocent person to death....

...April 2001, the past due concept was removed and the period to be reckoned for calculation of non-payment started from the due date of payment. From the financial year 2003-04, in order to move towards international best practices, the RBI adopted the 90-days-overdue norms for identification of NPAs. With effect from March 31, 2004, a non-performing asset has been defined as a loan or an advance where:- * Interest/instalment of principal remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a Term Loan * The account remains Out of order for a period of more than 90 days, in respect of an Overdraft / Cash Credit facility * The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in the case of bills purchased and discounted * In the case of direct agricultural advances, an annexure Annex 1 lists the types of advances which are to be treated in a special way as advised in the overdue norm. Agricultural loans, other than those specified in Annex 1,are to be treated in the same way as non-agricultural advances * Any amount to be received remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of other accounts The system was made to ensure that identification of NPAs is done on an on-going basis and doubts in asset classification due to any reason are settled through specified...

...%LJ 2 QRWDWLRQ Big O notation (with a capital letter O, not a zero), also called Landau's symbol, is a symbolism used in complexity theory, computer science, and mathematics to describe the asymptotic behavior of functions. Basically, it tells you how fast a function grows or declines. Landau's symbol comes from the name of the German number theoretician Edmund Landau who invented the notation. The letter O is used because the rate of growth of a function is also called its order. For example, when analyzing some algorithm, one might find that the time (or the number of steps) it takes to complete a problem of size n is given by T(n) = 4 n2 - 2 n + 2. If we ignore constants (which makes sense because those depend on the particular hardware the program is run on) and slower growing terms, we could say "T(n) grows at the order of n2" and write:T(n) = O(n2). In mathematics, it is often important to get a handle on the error term of an approximation. For instance, people will write ex = 1 + x + x2 / 2 + O(x3) for x -> 0 to express the fact that the error is smaller in absolute value than some constant times x3 if x is close enough to 0. For the formal definition, suppose f(x) and g(x) are two functions defined on some subset of the real numbers. We write f(x) = O(g(x)) (or f(x) = O(g(x)) for x -> C such that |f(x)| to be more precise) if and only if there exist constants N and C |g(x)| for all x>N. Intuitively, this means that f does not grow faster...

...Lab 9 Functions and Input Validation Lab 9.1 Writing Your Own Function that Returns an Integer Step 1: A function contains three parts: a header, a body, and a return statement. The first is a function header which specifies the data type of the value that is to be returned, the name of the function, and any parameter variables used by the function to accept arguments. The body is comprised of one or more statements that are executed when the function is called. In the following space, complete the following: (Reference: Writing Your Own Functions, page 225). a. Write a function with the header named addTen. b. The function will accept an Integer variable named number. c. The function body will ask the user to enter a number and the add 10 to the number. The answer will be stored in the variable number. d. The return statement will return the value of number. Function integer add ten (integer number) Display “Enter a number:” Input c. 10 Set c. 10= number + 10 Return d. number Step 2: In the following space, write a function call to your function from Step 1. Set number = addTen (number) Writing Your Own Function that Returns a Boolean Value Step 1: A Boolean function will either return a true or a false value. You can use these functions to test a condition. They are useful for simplifying complex conditions that are tested in decision and repetition structures. In the following space, complete the following: (Reference: Returning...

...REVISED FEBRUARY 11, 2015 CRAIG FURFINE KEL553 Wildcat Capital Investors: Real Estate Private Equity “Okay. Now we’re even,” said the voice on the telephone. As he hung up the phone, James Tripp, managing director of Wildcat Capital Investors, thought back to that beautiful summer evening two years earlier when he was about to enter Ravinia Park to enjoy a performance of the Chicago Symphony with his friend, commercial real estate broker Katherine O’Brien. The sound of scraping metal had caught Tripp’s attention just in time for him to save O’Brien’s life—or so he liked to claim—by blocking an approaching bicyclist headed straight for O’Brien in a reckless attempt to cross the track ahead of an oncoming train. At the time Tripp had joked, “Now you owe me.” Referring to the opportunity to purchase a piece of commercial property before the sale became public knowledge, he continued, “How about showing me a great off-market deal some day?” Now, in September 2009, it seemed that O’Brien had indeed returned the favor. The opportunity O’Brien had just briefly outlined on the phone sounded perfect for Wildcat. Financial Commons was a 90,000-square-foot office property located in the Chicago suburb of Skokie. The building was 90 percent occupied and was being offered for what seemed like an incredible price of $10.4 million. Given the bleak commercial market environment at the time, such opportunities were few and far between. But Tripp knew there were many factors...

Two years later, when the radical attempt to replicate the earth's main ecosystems in miniature ended, the engineered environment was dying.

The economy, after all, is emhedded in the environment. Recent calculations published in the journal Nature conservatively estimate the value of all the earth's ecosystem services to be at least $33 trillion a year. That's close to the gross world product, and it implies a capitalized book value on the order of half a quadrillion dollars. What's more, for most of these services, there is no known substitute at any price, and we can't live without them. Some very simple changes to the way we run our This...

You can find the data for this case on the course website in a spreadsheet named: Ocean Carriers Exhibits.xls. This case provides the opportunity to make a capital budgeting decision by using discounted cash flow analysis to make an investment and corporate policy decision. Ocean Carriers is a shipping company evaluating a proposed lease of a ship for a three-year period beginning in 2003. The proposed leasing contract offers very attractive terms, but no ship in Ocean Carrier’s current fleet meets the customer’s requirements. The firm must decide if future expected cash flows warrant the considerable investment in a new ship. 1. Do you expect daily spot hire rates to increase or decrease next year? Give the reasons for your choice. Which are the factors that drive average daily rates? What does this imply in terms of your cash flow projections? 2. How much is the cost of a new vessel in present value terms? What is the book value of the ship? 3. Should Ms Linn purchase the capesize carrier? Assume that it is going to be sold for scrap after 15 years. [Hint: Construct the Free Cash Flows of the project...
