effectiveness in managing an Index Portfolio. After defining strategic criteria, we construct an optimal portfolio based on the Mean-Variance theory. We then manage it for the defined one-year period and apply classical (e.g. Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio) as well as CPPI-specific (e.g. Omega Ratio, T2, M2) performance measures to create a consolidated portfolio view. Finally, using data form the Wharton Database we employ a multifactor analysis and discuss the performance of the managed Index Portfolio and its
with their army and Navy do to their constant involvement in war no matter where public opinion stood. The book read is titled Sharpe’s regiment by Bernard Cornwell. The book Sharpe’s regiment follows the path of a British army officer, Major Richard Sharpe and his right hand man sergeant Patrick Harper, as he fights in Spain and then is forced to come back to England on a recruitment trip, in order for him to continue fighting. His recruiting efforts are stopped along the way by various politicians
“Street Fight” is a film about Cory Booker running for mayor of Newark against incumbent Sharpe James. “Street Fight” was filmed by Marshall Curry with a single camera over the course of the election. Street fight is a one camera documentary that focuses on Cory Booker's run for mayor with the extreme measures that Sharpe James takes against him. This particular race took place in 2002 in Newark New Jersey. Street fight follows a race for mayor that turns extremely dirty, with the incumbent taking
In a world where the strong survive and the weak plunder, running for public office can be a more daunting task then holding the actual office itself. The films, Last Man Standing and Street Fight, depict two separate elections in two separate states as fierce battles. The films provide contrasting views of the struggle to reach public office, and the tactics used to get there. Though the films paint the similar process of brutal campaigning and numbing elections, these films have clearly different
use and repetition of ratios and proportions as my major theme in chemistry. Throughout this sequence of instruction, my goal was for the students to seamlessly tie mathematics into the science curriculum. I wanted students to recognize the interconnectedness of the two subjects by emphasizing the association of ratios throughout chemistry and to realize the importance of ratios in real life. Ratios are found in all aspects of life and I wanted to open their eyes to this. Ratios are use in discounts
not all of the policies, that were in place during that time period. I believe the war was not justified for a number of reasons. The ratio of dead to wounded was higher than it was in the civil war which is considered one of the saddest wars in this country’s history. In the civil war, the ratio was one wounded to five killed, where as in the Philippine War, the ratio was one wounded to twelve killed. America instead of trying to peacefully resolve the situation, decided that force was a more potent

shown in Figure 2, after the dilation. My two monkeys are similar because the ratio of their lengths compared to that of the areas fits the Proportional Perimeters and Areas Theorem. Also, their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding lengths are proportional, proving that they are similar by definition. I can create a dilation by multiplying each coordinate with the scale factor of ½, so that the ratio of the images is 1 to 2. For example, my original monkey’s tail tip is at point
the ones that do not enable us to calculate all the unknowns by the three equations of equilibrium. 2: Hooke’s Law, Poisson’s Ratio and Modulus of rigidity. Hooke’s law, Poisson’s ratio and shear modulus (modulus of rigidity) all share a common bond. They are considered to be individually the same for a specific material. hooke’s law is formulated as F=kx; Poisson’s ratio is formulated as = (lateral strain / axial strain) and shear modulus is formulated as G= E/(2(1+" " )). 3: polar moment of inertia
Determining the Ratio of Circumference to Diameter of a Circle In determining the ratio of the circumference to the diameter I began by measuring the diameter of one of the si objects which contained circles, then using a string, I wrapped the string around the circle and compared the length of the string, which measured the circumference, to a meter stick. With this method I measured all of the six circles. After I had this data, I went back and rechecked the circumference with a tape measure

at the individual ratios seen in exhibit 1 and comparing it to the industry average shown in exhibit 2 gives a sense of where this company stands. Current ratio and quick ratio are really low and have been decreasing. For 1995, the current ratio is 1.15:1, which is less than the industry average of 1.60:1, however to give a better sense of where this stands in the industry, as seen in exhibit 3, it is actually less than the average of the bottom 25% of the industry. The quick ratio is 0.61 is less
Cash Ratio $7,195 / $152,299 = 0.05 Boot Born reported cash ratio .05 to 1. Boot Barn may have a difficulty paying its liabilities because the ratio is to low. However, Boot Barn had a net cash operation of $155,486,000.00 provided by financial activities. Boot Barn has sufficient cash to meet future financial needs. Current Ratio $203,219 / $152,299 = 1.33 Boot Barn reported a 1.33 current ratio that indicates its current possessions can cover its charges. Boot Barn will be able to pay
ASSET EFFICIENCY OR TURNOVER RATIO Inventory Turnover in Days Inventory turnover in days ratio is used to measure the time frame on average between the time of purchasing the inventories and sale of merchandise (efficiency of the company in managing and selling the inventories). The industry average of electronic calculator company was 60days for inventory turnover. For Caltron Ltd., in 2001 the inventory turnover was 78days, 2002 was 109days and 2003 the turnover was 107days. It means that Caltron

Written by Christina Farr, this article details the focuses of Amazon’s move into healthcare, what is to come, and what is currently being discussed as possible options within the healthcare industry. The article also gives input of what the experts think about Amazon and healthcare. Summary of Article This article is
of those three main financial statements. It can also be defined as understanding the risk and profitability of an entity (Ready Ratios, 2013). There are different techniques of financial statement analysis including ratio analysis, vertical or common size analysis and horizontal analysis or trend analysis. Another technique sometimes applied is trend analysis of the ratio analysis (Hancock, Robinson and Bazley, 2015). The major objectives of financial statement analysis are reviewing the company’s
amount of pure citric acid required to neutralise 25cm3 of sodium hydroxide when the citric acid is 100% pure, I should easily be within the confines of my 50 cm3 burette. I will therefore now calculate the required mass of sodium hydroxide: Ratio citric acid : sodium hydroxide 1 : 3 Concentration of sodium hydroxide = 1.0 M Therefore, require concentration of citric acid = 1.0 M /3 = 0.33 M I will be using a volumetric flask which can hold 250cm3 of liquid.
In mathematics, Pi is the symbol denoting the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The ratio is approximately 3.14159265, pi being an irrational number (one that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction or as a decimal with a finite number of decimal places) and a transcendental number (one without continuously recurrent digits). Electronic computers in the late 20th century have carried pi to more than 100,000,000 decimal places. Using a computer program, I calculated pi into
Equity Theory of Motivation Introduction: Robbins & Judge (2007, p.186) defines Motivation “as the processes that account for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort towards attaining a goal”. Equity theory comes under process theory which gives the perception whether the individual is going to work hard or not depending upon the rewards and possible outcomes. This paper discusses and describes the equity theory of motivation with its implications to managers in the
