Payback period is the time it takes to recoup your initial investment on a project based upon the future cash flows the project is expected to generate. In question one‚ the synthetic resin has a payback period of 2.50 years where as the epoxy resin has a payback period of 1.50 years‚ meaning the company will recoup its initial investment one year sooner with the epoxy resin than with the synthetic resin. If the company were determining which project to choose based solely on the payback period‚

Due to the fluctuations of yen/dollar exchange rate‚ the new distribution agreement with Mitsukoshi gave rise to high exchange-rate exposure for Tiffany to bear. The exposure goes in the following two ways: Economic Exposures. From 1983 to 1993‚ the yen/dollar exchange rate was along a down turn path (see Exhibit 1). In the past‚ Tiffany wholesaled its products to Mitsukoshi. Since the wholesale transactions were denominated entirely in dollars‚ yen/dollar exchange rate fluctuations did not represent

Title: Rate of transpiration I found interesting to know how different environmental factors affect the rate of transpiration. There are different environmental factors‚ such as light intensity‚ humidity‚ wind and temperature that affect the rate of transpiration. Transpiration is a topic 9 in our Biology higher level book. I have read all the information through this chapter and researched some extra information. Based on this information that I had known I decided to take experiment of environmental

Analysis Graph 1 interprets the data shown on the table of results. The graph shows that the highest rate of reaction is at pH 7. This therefore supports my theory that at pH 7 the rate of reaction will be highest. This relate to other resources‚ such as books and the internet‚ which show that the optimum pH value for catalase is pH7‚ therefore there is no difference between the optimum pH and the pH used in the experiment‚ hence the enzyme structure is not affected by the pH and is most active
