It doesn’t matter if all the laws changed today‚ the fact remains

How to Use a Data Spreadsheet: Excel One does not necessarily have special statistical software to perform statistical analyses. Microsoft Office Excel can be used to run statistical procedures. Although in some respects Excel is not as preferable for data analyses as IBM SPSS‚ it is very userfriendly with simpler statistical procedures. This appendix describes how to use Excel to execute basic statistical calculations. Data from the 2004 version of the General Social Survey (GSS) is used for

First of all‚ Microsoft Excel is the industry standard in spreadsheets (history on spreadsheets can be accessed at the above website address). With Excel‚ you can create a shared workbook and place it on a network location where several people can edit‚ change‚ and work on the contents of a workbook‚ I discovered. Therefore‚ if the people

NPV Versus IRR W.L. Silber I. Our favorite project A has the following cash flows: -1000 0 0 1 0 2 +300 3 +600 4 +900 5 We know that if the cost of capital is 18 percent we reject the project because the net present value is negative: - 1000 + 300 600 900 + + = NPV 3 4 (1.18) (1.18) (1.18)5 - 1000 + 182.59 + 309.47 + 393.40 = -114.54 We also know that at a cost of capital of 8% we accept the project because the net present value is positive: - 1000 + 300 600 900

Winter Survival Exercise Situation You have just crash landed somewhere in the woods of southern Manitoba or possibly northern Minnesota. It is 11:32 am in mid-January. The small plane in which you were travelling crashed onto a small lake. The pilot and co-pilot were killed. Shortly after the crash‚ the plane sank completely into the lake with the pilot and co-pilot’s bodies inside. Everyone else on the flight escaped to land dry and without serious injury. The crash came suddenly before the

present value the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW)[of a time series of cash flows‚ both incoming and outgoing‚ is defined as the sum of the present values (PVs) of the individual cash flows of the same entity. In the case when all future cash flows are incoming (such as coupons and principal of a bond) and the only outflow of cash is the purchase price‚ the NPV is simply the PV of future cash flows minus the purchase price (which is its own PV). NPV is a central tool in discounted cash

LNG CARRIERS History The first LNG carrier Methane Pioneer (dwt 5034 tons) left the Calcasieu River on the Louisiana Gulf coast on 25 January 1959. Carrying the world’s first ocean cargo of LNG‚ it sailed to the UK where the cargo was delivered. Subsequent expansion of that trade has brought on a large expansion of the fleet to today where giant LNG ships carrying up to 266‚000 m3 are sailing worldwide. At the end of 2005‚ a total of 203 vessels have been built‚ of which 193 are still in service
