Calculation

numerical measurement of this portfolios’ performance. We adopted Jensen portfolio performance measure which was originally based on capital asset pricing model, calculates the expected one period return on any security or portfolio. The formula for calculation is: The result is -4.03%, which indicates that our portfolio is less diversified and our portfolio is underperforming compare to the return of risk free assets. 3.2.1.1 Sharpe Ratio This measure is based on capital market…

hydrostatics, the volume of a sphere and the calculation of pi which is used to design impressive sea vessels, industrial tanks and modern medical devices respectively. Additionally, the modern world received from the ancient Greeks the Pythagoras theorem which has been beneficial to fields like astronomy and mathematics. Other contributions from the Greeks includes geometry that finds applications in areas such as architecture as well as computer imaging and the calculation of the earths…

measurements were discovered may be different than Eratosthenes, but it will still give people the same angle that he had discovered over 2000 years ago. It is mind boggling that with little to no outside resources he was able to come up with the calculation of the Earth’s circumference as 40,000 km, compared to a more accurate measure of 40,030.2 km, (4). By knowing that his data for the circumference of the Earth was around 40,000 km, we just divide that number by 2 to give us 20,000 km, for…

Us? Savant syndrome is a form of rare neurological condition where individuals with such extraordinary anomaly, while having problems in proper mental function, are able to express certain prodigious abilities such as memorizing and lightning calculation (Treffert, 2009). The term “savant” originated from the word “savoir” which means “to know” in French (Treffert, 2009). The word “idiot savant” was first introduced by Dr. J. Langdon Down in his research of 10 individuals with remarkable…

Circuit Lab, I was asked to use concepts of Ohm’s Law and read/analyze circuit diagrams with common components, then test them on a breadboard. The purpose of this lab report is to provide information on the setup and procedures for circuit 1 and the calculations/analyses for all five circuits. Summary For the Circuit Lab, I was asked to perform various…

Katherine is informed that she is no longer needed in the Space Task Group and that she is to be transferred back to the West Area Computers. However, just before the launch, a discrepancy is found in the calculations and Glenn asks that Katherine check the calculations. She checks the calculations and quickly returns the results back to the control room, where the door is slammed in her face. Harrison brings her into the control room so they can give the information to Glenn. After launch, the…

In the words of the Great Philosopher Gandalf the Gray… “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of our calculations, if you live near him.” These words we hear are from one of the greatest and only wizards in middle earth, none other than Gandalf the Gray. But we must ask ourselves, “what does Gandalf mean by this?”. After all, Gandalf is one of the most perplexing, intricate, and mysterious characters in the LOTR trilogy. If you want to know the answer beneath you must ask these question…

The business sole purpose would be to supply an affordable service for lawn maintenance for those who seem to be unable to do so themselves.

performed the calculation, it will send the results back to the portable device, such as Apple 's Siri service. However, this approach will encounter several problems. First, delay will occur in the use of network…

A diverse student and faculty population has been recognized as essential to teaching and preparing students for the truly global world in which we live. In the report, Does Diversity Make a difference, the American Council on Education released a report detailing 3 research papers on diversity in higher education. It is clear from the first paper that faculty values diversity in the classroom. “Faculty members believe that diversity helps all students achieve the essential goals of a college…
