Diageo Case 1. How has Diageo historically managed its capital structure? Diageo sought to maintain the low-debt (conservative) financial policies of the Guinness and Grand Met with goals to keep * its interest coverage ratio (EBITDA / Interest Payments) between 5 and 8 and * its EBITDA / Total Debt around 30-35% Although not quite as conservative as other UK firms (with Equity/Assets ratios of 42%)‚ it was successful in achieving these goals and retaining a credit rating of A+ (a

Chapter 9 Monte Carlo methods 183 184 CHAPTER 9. MONTE CARLO METHODS Monte Carlo means using random numbers in scientific computing. More precisely‚ it means using random numbers as a tool to compute something that is not random. For example1 ‚ let X be a random variable and write its expected value as A = E[X]. If we can generate X1 ‚ . . . ‚ Xn ‚ n independent random variables with the same distribution‚ then we can make the approximation A ≈ An = 1 n n Xk . k=1

Particle interactions are the cause of everything we know to exist‚ such as the bright lights that illuminate the room you are in or the heat you feel when you stay in the sun for too long. To understand how these particle interactions occur we need to be able to simulate how they occur and study their effects with matter. Monte Carlo is a mathematical

During the evolution of computer technology‚ advanced programs were developed to provide further probabilistic estimates via simulations (Monte Carlo Analysis). B) PERT assumes the Beta probability distribution to calculate the expected time of an activity within a network. PERT requires that for each activity‚ three duration estimates are needed (optimistic‚ most likely‚ pessimistic)
