Zero-based budgeting

Alternative Asset Pricing Models Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) was developed by Stephen Ross (1976) as an alternative model to overcome some of the weaknesses that have been found in the CAPM. The APT is based on the Law of One Price. This means that if two assets have the same risk, theoretically they should have the same expected returns. If their expected returns differ, arbitrageurs would be able to create a long-short trading strategy that would have no initial cost, but would provide…

crimes once released from prison is almost as high as 50% within the first three years. RAND’s examination of 58 different studies showed that inmates were 43% less likely to go back to a criminal lifestyle after being part of educational or trade based program. With close to 750,000 prisoners being released annually, being able to help 43% of the nearly half that would have reoffended would mean close to 536,000 won’t returning to prison through use of the programs. In the Bureau of Justice’s…

In order to find an accurate brittleness and stiffness for a rock, Rickman et al. (Rickman) has come up with a method that has been used frequently. In order to determine the brittleness index of a certain section of rock, Rickman advises the use of two rock parameters: Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus (Rickman). The ideal brittleness is a low Poisson’s ratio and a high Young’s modulus. A low Poisson’s ratio indicates the rocks capability to fracture when stress is applied and a high Young’s…

Traveling the world to adapt to a new culture, to try new things, and to enjoy a new experience has always been a desire of mine. My motivation on choosing the topic of unemployment is to see what other countries are doing differently than the United States of America (USA). The USA has a lot to offer, including job opportunities, resources, an education system, and also a better way of living. Focusing mainly on job opportunities, what does the other country have to bargain? The questions that…

i. Abstract The objective of this paper is to construct and analyse the Fama and French three-factor model for the UK market. We will then be comparing the three-factor model to the slightly modified; Fama-French and Carhart’s four-factor model. The purpose of this paper is to find evidence, if any, of the validity of these multifactor models in the UK market. Previous research suggests that the search for a more convincing asset pricing model remains (Gregory, Tharyan and Christidis, 2011).…

of this long-term horizon, has the ability to accept the consequences of short-term fluctuations in asset values. Moreover, adoption of a clear-cut spending rule will permit cash flows to be planned with some precision, adding stability to annual budgeting and reducing the need for precautionary liquidity. Overall, the foundation’s risk tolerance is above average and oriented to long-term considerations. CONSTRAINTS Liquidity Requirements: Liquidity needs are low, with little likelihood of…
