Mikela Sammy U62 Caribbean Studies QUESTION: Access the measures that Caribbean countries could realistically undertake to minimize the danger posed by earthquakes. An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground‚ sometimes causing great destruction‚ as a result of movements within the earth’s crust or volcanic action. This happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The Earth’s crust is made up of about a dozen plates on which the continents and oceans

What is Profit Maximization using TR-TC Approach? Profit Maximization using TR-TC Approach is a method in determining the Profit and the Loss of a certain Company. To obtain the profit maximizing output quantity‚ we start by recognizing that profit is equal to total revenue (TR) minus total cost (TC). Given a table of costs and revenues at each quantity‚ we can either compute equations or plot the data directly on a graph. (Lipsey‚ 2011) Figure 1.Illustration of Profit Maximization using TR-TC Approach

Mathematical Programming: An Overview 1 Management science is characterized by a scientific approach to managerial decision making. It attempts to apply mathematical methods and the capabilities of modern computers to the difficult and unstructured problems confronting modern managers. It is a young and novel discipline. Although its roots can be traced back to problems posed by early civilizations‚ it was not until World War II that it became identified as a respectable and well defined body of

Introduction Linear optimization is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome such as maximum profit or lowest cost in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships. Linear programming is a specific case of mathematical programming The Primary Purpose of the present investigation is to develop an interactive spreadsheet tool to aid in determining a maximum return function in 401K plan. In this paper‚ we discuss how the

Consider a regression model of relating Y (the dependent variable) to X (the independent variable) Yi = (0 + (1Xi+ (i where (i is the stochastic or error term. Suppose that the estimated regression equation is stated as Yi = (0 + (1Xi and ei is the residual error term. A. What is ei and define it precisely.

the problem involves in the use of profit maximization as the goal of the firm? How does the goal of maximization of stockholders wealth deal with doe’s problem? The goal of profit maximization ignores two major factors which are timing and uncertainly‚ it is the cause of the problem of a firm. Using profit maximization project and investments are compared by examining expected values‚ not whether one project is riskier than the other. Profit maximization also ignores the timing of a projects returned
