There are a number of sobering statistics concerning the high school dropout rate in the United States. One third of all students who enter high school don’t graduate.1 As of 2000‚ 10.9% of 16 to 24 year olds were dropouts.2 The dropout rate in urban schools is twice the rate of non-urban schools.2 Statistics also show that young adults whose families are in the lowest 20% of incomes are six times more likely to dropout that those whose families are in the upper 20% of incomes.2 The U.S. Department

Major Determinants of Interest Rates Inflation Inflation is a factor that decisively affects the nature or outcome of interest rates. “Inflation is an increase in prices of goods and services over time”(Financial Institutions‚ Instruments and Markets‚ 2012). Inflation is the natural byproduct of a robust‚ growing economy. No inflation‚ or deflation (the lowering of prices)‚ is actually a much worse economic indicator. Also‚ in a healthy economy‚ wages rise at the same rate as prices. A standard explanation

VARIABLE-RATE PREFERRED STOCK Preferred stock has frequently been issued in connection with mergers and acquisitions. Often the preferred stock is issued with a conversion feature‚ so in the long run there is a probability it will become common stock capital. Preferred stock allows the acquired firm’s owners a prior claim relative to common stock and reasonably definite dividends while simultaneously giving the acquiring firm a form of leverage without strapping it with the rigid obligations of

Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate Aim: To use a simple reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid to discover concentration this determines how fast chemical reactions occur. Independent Variable: Concentration of hydrochloric acid (%) Dependent Variable: Time taken for chemical reaction to take place (sec) Hypothesis: My prediction is that the increased concentration of the thiosulfate will in turn lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. This is a well informed
