Formula for Grade Average Calculation There are 3 grade averages: TGA‚ CGA and GGA. TGA (Term Grade Average) is the combined grade average covering all courses taken in the term and the session immediately following. CGA (Cumulative Grade Average) is computed based on all the courses taken by the student which are expected at the time of calculation to be applied towards the degree requirements in the current program. TGA & CGA = Sum of (Course Credits x Course grade points) Sum of Course Credits

Initial Investment The desired item is jewelry The cost in 12 years will be about $6000. The average interest rate is 5%. The Present value formula is P =A (1+r)-n where P is the present value that will amount to A dollars in n years at interest rate r compounded annually. Note that the quantity raised to a power has the negative exponent on –n. According to the rules of exponents‚ this means that once the negative is put into effect‚ the base quantity will change position by dropping down

Cash Flows for Discounting Calculations When managers are forecasting the cash flows for a project‚ they will consider the expected revenues and costs‚ but they must also include an estimate for working capital requirements. The working capital will be required in period 1 to allow the business to acquire inventories and build up debtors (receivables) to the extent that these are not matched by trade. The working capital will be recovered at the end of the project when the inventories are sold‚

Concept of ATC Loss Calculation (By Jayant Sinha‚ DGM (IT)) In absence of feeder metering in the past‚ substantial portion of T&D loss‚ including theft of electricity was attributed to agricultural consumption. While‚ agricultural consumption was around 20-25%‚ utilities were showing it as 35-40% and correspondingly T&D losses were shown as 20-25%. Also‚ T&D loss was being computed by showing electricity bills issued to consumers as accrued income‚ and not on the basis of actual collection. Therefore
