following questions will be used in an exam; lecturers‚ tutors and PASS leaders will not provide help in directly answering the questions. Pool of Short-Answer Questions for Tutorial Tests Explain the three different approaches that can be used to calculate GDP. Briefly indicate why all three approaches should give the same estimate for GDP. (3 marks) Is GDP a good measure of a country’s economic welfare? Discuss.

photogate sent to the computer a signal when its beam was broken by one of the dark bands. The Datastudio software recorded for the amounts of time between breaks. Recorded Data‚ Calculated Results‚ and Graphs We used the Science Workshop program to calculate the velocities and accelerations due to gravity of the picket fence between breaks in the beam using where Äy represents distance traveled between breaks and Ät represents the time of travel between breaks. These are the measured

The Rockport walk test required students to walk for 1 mile (10 laps + 40 yds). A formula was used to calculate VO2 max using time (that is took to walk the mile)‚ age of participant‚ and heart rate level after the mile walk was completed. For the treadmill test‚ Bruce protocol was used. ACSM metabolic calculations were used to calculate oxygen consumption‚ and a multistage model was used to calculate VO2 max. In the forestry step test‚ subjects walked for 5 minutes at a cadence of 22.5 steps/min. The

Exercise 3: Graphing Data and Determining π : In this exercise‚ you will choose circular objects and measure the diameter and circumference of these objects. Measurements will then be used to graph and calculate the slope. You will then compare the value of the slope to the true value of pi and calculate percent error. 1. Before beginning‚ set up a data table similar to the Data Table 5: Determination of π‚ in the Lab Report Assistant section. 2. Select five circular objects of different sizes‚ such

in the Mercury would be profitable and at what maximize price could AGI offer in order to acquire the division. Analysis In order to achieve the above set goal‚ Liedtke needs to analyze the financial data from 2006 to 2011 (Exhibit 6 and 7)‚ and calculate free cash flows. This data will enable him to identify the strengths and weaknesses of this acquisition. Following is the snapshot of AGI and Mercury operations based on year 2006‚ the last year before AGI plans to acquire Mercury. Active Gear
