A company with low gearing is one that is mainly being funded or financed by share capital (equity) and reserves‚ whilst the one with a high gearing is mainly funded by loan capital. Now the question to address is which of the two (equity and debt) is cheaper to the company? The answer is that cost of debt is cheaper than cost of equity. This is because debt is less risky than equity and the tax advantage of debt over equity as discussed below: Risk: debt is less risky than equity because: • the

The Greeks and Romans advanced water clock design to include the inflow clepsydra with an early feedback system‚ gearing‚ and escapementmechanism‚ which were connected to fanciful automata and resulted in improved accuracy. Further advances were made in Byzantium‚ Syria and Mesopotamia‚ where increasingly accurate water clocks incorporated complex segmental and epicyclic gearing‚ water wheels‚ and programmability‚ advances which eventually made their way to Europe.

invented the “Book wheel”. His name was Agostino Ramelli and his device was a wooden structure with a circular core that could hold books. In a more technical insight‚ to ensure that the books remained at a constant angle‚ Ramelli incorporated an epicyclic gearing arrangement‚ a complex device that had only previously been used in astronomical clocks. The idea was that he could present volumes of text to readers in whatever position they had last placed them‚ and thus it is considered an early prototype

stationary and the centre of the universe. Ptolemy’s model showed that planets revolved around a point and that point revolved around another point which was earth. In order to explain the motion of the planets‚ Ptolemy combined eccentricity with an epicyclic model where he assumed the planets moved on a small sphere or circle‚ called an epicycle‚ that moved on a larger sphere or circle‚ called a deferent. The rotation around the first point was
