An Empirical Investigation of Arbitrage Pricing Theory: A case Zimbabwe Petros Jecheche University of Zimbabwe ABSTRACT This study investigates the Arbitrage Pricing Theory for the case of Zimbabwe using time series data from 1980 to 2005 within a vector autoregressive (VAR) framework. The Granger causality tests are conducted to establish the existence of causality among the variables like inflation‚ exchange rate and Gross Domestic Product. The VAR estimates as shown by the impulse response

CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER 8.1 OBJECTIVES To study experimental data for heat transfer in order to evaluate the overall heat transfer coefficients and heat balances for the following cases of heat transfer in a .shell and tube heat exchanger. (a) Natural convection and (b) Forced convection. 8.2 THEORY A basic diagram of a shell and tube heat exchanger is shown in Figure 8.1. Here steam at a temperature of Tv is sent to the shell side at the port A at a rate of W kg/s. The steam transfers heat to a fluid

Heat & Mass Lab 1: | | | 2/10/2011 2/10/2011 Executive Summary This experiment was conducted using a heat transfer unit. Many relationships were obtained and calculated from the observed results. To name a few; the log mean temperature difference‚ heat transfer coefficient‚ Reynolds‚ Nusselt and Graetz numbers. The main focus of this experiment is the heating and cooling of the oil fluid. This was achieved using the heating component in the heat exchanger and water flowing

GENERAL PRICING APPROACHES There are four general pricing approaches: Mark-up pricing - The practice of adding a constant percentage to the cost price of an item to arrive at its selling price. Mark-up pricing is a pricing strategy in which the cost of the product is first calculated then a proportion of its markup was added. It is used primarily because it is easy to calculate and requires little information. An example of this are the retail stores. Value-based pricing - also value optimized

Chapter 07 - Pricing With Market Power CHAPTER 7 PRICING WITH MARKET POWER CHAPTER SUMMARY This chapter extends the analysis in previous chapters to examine pricing decisions in greater detail. It starts by reviewing the benchmark case of charging one price to all customers. It then examines more sophisticated pricing policies that can be used to increase profits. CHAPTER OUTLINE PRICING OBJECTIVE BENCHMARK CASE: SINGLE PRICE PER UNIT Profit Maximization Relevant Costs Price Sensitivity

How the Japanese Internment Camps Disrupted the Transfer of Values One of the darkest periods in Canadian history strongly revolves around the Second World War and the internment of Canadian-Japanese citizens. “Obasan‚” a novel by Joy Kogawa‚ explores the internment of Canadian citizens of Japanese descent through Naomi Nakane‚ a thirty-six year old schoolteacher‚ and her family. The novel chronicles the life of Naomi‚ providing many perspectives from different parts of her life‚ beginning with

Question: Discuss how an increase in the value of each of the determinants of the option price in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for European options is likely to change the price of a call option. A derivative is a financial instrument that has a value determined by the price of something else‚ such as options. The crucial idea behind the derivation was to hedge perfectly the option by buying and selling the underlying asset in just the right way and consequently "eliminate risk"

Software Licensing and Pricing Software is a mature industry with considerable cost pressures. It costs an incredible amount of money to develop‚ deliver‚ market‚ sell and support a software product. Software vendors are struggling with dwindling margins‚ increased competition‚ and bad economy that keep pushing them to sell at lower prices. For many‚ the only way to overcome that is to make big shifts in licensing and pricing schemes. Traditionally‚ most software vendors use a perpetual
