Estimation

reliable panel dataset spanning from 2004 to 2013 for the selected emerging economies were sourced from the International Financial Statistics and the World Bank data base. A panel estimation approach was employed using Hausman specification test in choosing between the fixed effect and random effect model in our estimation. From the results of the Hausman specification test the individual unobserved country-specific effects were found to be uncorrelated with the explanatory variables, which…

review of the decision process along with a discussion of several scenarios to help with making the decision to enter the 16oz bottling market.

Cost & Income Estimations Once the assessment was made to explore 16oz bottle production, the costs associated with the investment need to be evaluated. First, the projected cost of the machine is $300,000 which includes $40,000 of modification. The estimated…

The hypothesis of the experiment was that the molecular weight of N-acetyl-β-D-hexosaminidase would be around 28,000 kDa but to determine the molecular weight the concept of SDS-PAGE had to be understood. The movement of any charged particle through an electric field is determined by its net charge, its molecular radius and the magnitude of the applied field (7). Being that natively folded proteins are not molecular weight dependent, the proteins would be traveling at different speeds in an…

state inmates and 39 percent of federal inmates have some type of medical problem (Maruschak, 2008). Moreover, the Justice Department’s Bureau of Statistics (BJS) estimations include those inmates that reported medical conditions other than a cold or a virus (Maruschak, 2008). Although these statistics likely fluctuate, the estimations redeem an ongoing problem within American corrections. In comparison with the U.S. population, the BJS reports that inmates infected with AIDS are more than 2…

Race is referred to the idea of categorizing human species into groups that shared physical and genetic traits, such as the skin color, facial features and even the hair texture. Based on the “Sorting People” activity that I’ve done, I found that I did poorly on the test. I got only 5 out of 20 questions right. I am actually quiet surprised by this result. I always think that I can accurately identify someone’s race because I have lots of multiracial friends, but after I took this test, I…

lands, Chief Seattle illustrates how although the whites might take their land, it will forever belong to them because it contains their love, culture, and ancestors’ spirits. He declares in his speech that, “Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every…

significance of balance: we attain to virtue by discovering a center ground, not by going for an amazing. Where precisely this center ground lies, then again, is more subtle. Aristotle rehashes various times that his table displays just a harsh close estimation and that virtues lie more like one bad habit than another to diverse degrees for distinctive individuals (Coope, 2012). The Table of Virtues simply introduced is not planned as an arrangement of careful principles. Actually, Aristotle…

There are two variants of the DCF valuation: the equity valuation and the firm valuation. In fact, we can either use the free cash flow to the firm (FCFF), which is the after-tax cash flow that accrues from the firm's operations, net of investments in capital and net working capital, or we can use the free cash flow to equity (FCFE) that is the cash remaining after a firm meets all of its debt obligations and provides for necessary capital expenditure. Discounting the FCFF at the cost of capital…

In the last decade, the United States has encountered serious problems as results of deficient or failed infrastructures, which caused inconvenience to the residents and slowed down the nation’s economy. Most of the electrical grid and pipelines in the U.S., which originated from the 1880s, are outdated. The number of failure and power interruption are increasing due to ongoing permitting issues, weather events, and limited maintenance. 45% of American households lack any access to transit, and…
