From the results, it is valid to conclude that the reaction with the fastest reaction rate is magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Initially, it was hypothesized that the reaction with hydrochloric acid would have the fastest reaction rate due to its high acidity observed from the pH scale. From there, the following reactions were based on the pH of the acid involved as well as the concentration of hydrogen ions/atoms within the acid molecule. As a result, it was hypothesized that the sulfuric acid…

1.3 The impact of macroeconomic releases on exchange rates Economic releases have an important role in the foreign exchange markets. Indeed, macro announcements produce effects on both returns and volatility. Neely and Dey (2010) show that researchers have long studied the reaction of foreign exchange returns to macroeconomic announcements and by doing so, they are now able to infer how markets react to news and how order flow helps impound public and private information into prices. Also,…

• Nominal exchange rate The nominal exchange rate is the value of one currency that can be exchanged in terms of another currency, that is, how much domestic currency is needed in order to purchase a foreign currency or vice-versa. For example, assume that 1 US Dollar costs Rs 35. The nominal exchange rate can be expressed in the following ways: 1 US Dollar = Rs 35, or 1 Mauritian rupee = 0.029 US Dollar A decrease in the Mauritian rupee towards the US Dollar is called an appreciation of the…

The question that was answered in this experiment is, “Which aerobic exercise increases heart rate the most?” If a person runs then their heart rate will increase the most. The independent variable in this project was the different exercises that were done. These were running, jump roping, and doing jumping jacks. The dependent variable was the difference in heart rate after exercising. Some of the control variables were the amount of time that subjects exercised (15 minutes), the age of the…

that influence the rate of diffusion across a membrane are: ~ the extent of the concentration gradient – the greater the difference in concentration on either side of the membrane, the faster the rate of diffusion ~ the mass of molecules diffusing – the heavier they are, the slower they will diffuse across the membrane ~ the distance travelled – this places an upper limit on cell size and functions as a resistance factor; distance travelled is indirectly proportional to the rate of diffusion ~…

Part 1: As per Exchange rate policy on 15th March 2015: A.] The recent changes in china’s exchange rate policy as exemplified on 15th March 2014 are:  China made its currency Yuan a much free floating currency by loosening and widening its daily trading limit against U.S dollar. (WSJ, 2014)  The china’s central bank and people’s bank of china set a daily trading rate called the parity rate for Yuan against the U.S.dollar, allowing the widening of the daily trading band to push from its…

The Internal Rate of Return According to Berk & DeMarzo (2016), the internal rate of return abbreviated as IRR and also known as the yield on investment refers to the discount rate that equates the NPV (net present value) of the proposed investment to zero (0). That is, the future cash flows of the investment plan equal the initial capital outlay of the project. The technique analyzes an investment plan by comparing the yield on investment to the minimum hurdle rate of a company. Like the NPV…

0 (a) The arrears rate for all (BTL) mortgages shows the total (BTL) number of mortgages over three months in arrears as a proportion of the total (BTL) number of outstanding mortgages. Data are semi-annual up to end-2007 and quarterly since then. Non seasonally adjusted. (b) The possessions rate for all (BTL, owner-occupied) mortgages shows the total (BTL, owner-occupied) number of properties taken into possession over the preceding twelve-month period as a proportion of the total (BTL,…

that affect the rate of a reaction and they can either be fast or slow. The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are nature of reactants, concentration of a solution, presence of a catalyst, surface area, pressure of gases, temperature etc. These reaction rates may have positive or negative effects in our everyday lives. Today, I will be talking about how temperature, surface area and concentration can have a role in our everyday life. Firstly, a factor that affects the rate of a reaction…

\textbf{Trade-wighted measure of exchange rates volatility}: The trade-weighted exchange rates, commonly known as Nominal Effective Exchange Rates (NEER), is the geometric weighted average of a basket of bilateral exchange rates (Klau and Fung 2006). Real EER (REER) is the nominal EER adjusted with the respective relative price index. Here the weights are based on manufacturing trade flows including both bilateral trade and third-market competition by double-weighting. The BIS EER calculation is…
