As part of this report, we calculated the intrinsic value of the stock using multiple methods, and each of the model provided us with similar result of the stock being overvalued. In order to achieve comprehensiveness in our results, we employed dividend based, residual income and ever-trusted price valuation model.

Dividend Discount Model

Beginning with the Dividend Discount Model, we initiated the valuation using the single-stage model, and found the intrinsic value to overvalued by 8%(refer to Table 1). Continuing with our dividend discount model, we were aware of the limitation of using single growth rate to calculate the intrinsic valuation, ...

Chapter Presentation – Morality, Harm and Criminal Justice

CHAPTER SUMMARY In this first chapter of Criminal Justice and Moral Issues, the authors discuss the intricacies of many different behaviors that are considered immoral for many different reasons. Over the years, there has been, as some argue, a moral decline of values and responsibility in an increasingly industrialized and spoiled society. Others see these actions as exercises in freedom, and should not be infringed by law or polite society. The authors argue that the role of law in deciding the morality of these issues is fluid; “the law can create as well as resolve problems and that often ...

Introduction:

Enzymes are protein molecules that act as catalysts to break down substances living thing need to sustain life. Most chemical reactions are too lengthy to do this on their own; even in the cases of relatively thermodynamically favored reactions like that of the oxidation of a sugar. An example of this is the oxidation of glucose to produce water, carbon dioxide and energy. Glucose on its own can remain exposed to air for years without any appreciable oxidation. Nevertheless, it is one of the substances most quickly broken down and absorbed in the human body due to the digestive system’ ...

1) According to Houston, Bridgmon and Parsons (2008) criminal policy shall refer to a combination of prevention and conservative deterrence programs. Majority of the policy-making that deals with criminal justice is pursuant to criminological theory, whether the authors of the policies are unaware of such fact or not. Some of the common causes of failed policies in criminal justice can be attributed to misinterpretation, fractional implementation, or illiteracy on criminological theories (Houston et al., 2008, p. 58). However, are some instances when there are problems that beset the implementation of policies such as when the law enforcement arrested mistaken individuals. ...

The initial presentation is a bubble chart that displays life expectancy at birth against fertility rate. Each bubble represents a particular country, and the size of the bubble is the population (Rosling, 2006). Next, he uses an area chart to show the distribution ...

ANCOVA is a procedure of analysis of variance procedure where the effects of the covariates (extraneous variables) are eliminated from the data of the dependent variable before analysis of ANOVA is carried out. ANCOVA permits the control of the linear effect of extraneous variables unwanted in a study (Bradley, 2009). ANCOVA Utilizes regression analysis to eliminate the effect of extraneous variables in the analysis. ANCOVA is used to enhance the precision of group comparisons through accounting for variation on the prognostic variables. In the analysis for imbalances in the prognostic variables, ANCOVA is also used to adjust the comparisons between ...

- Scarcity refers to the inability of economic resources to satisfy human wants.

- The two important concepts in the Adam Smith’s invisible hand theory are the demand and supply. Demand here refers to people’s willingness and ability to pay price for a given good while supply is the willingness and ability of producers to sell a given good at a particular price. The invisible hand explains that when there is high demand, the price of a good in the market rises and thus attractive producers to produce more while the demand reduces. The market will experience new entry of producers, ...

Soil Erosion

Soil erosion is the degradation of the soil, which is a natural occurring process occurring on the land cover. This process is caused by several agents including: water, wind, human beings activities animals. The degree of soil erosion is determined by the intensity of the force of the causative agent and the nature of the soil cover. The end result is loss of the top rich soil in nutrients, low quality of crops, damaged networks of water drainage and reduced quality of the surface water. This paper will discuss only the major agents of soil erosion which are water, wind ...

“One person’s abnormality is another person’s life.”-Alice Dreger

The extent to which one person’s abnormality is another person’s life is relative to the scope of anatomical normality or abnormality. Genetic abnormalities that relate to gender, otherwise known as anatomical sexual variation, are part of human intersexuality. Intersex is defined as the anatomical variation from the standard male or female gender, and is a pathological variable that require medical treatment. This means that an intersex child has the sexual anatomy of both genders. Intersex genitals may therefore be a sign of an underlying medical condition, but they are not a medical problem. The notion that ...

Introduction: Greek mathematician Archimedes invented that an object at rest, and partially or completely merged in a fluid (gas or liquid) is acted upon by an upward buoyant force that is of equal magnitude as the weight of the displaced fluid by the object. This is known as Archimedes’ principle of buoyancy. According to the principle, the volume of the displaced fluid is equivalent to the volume of an object that is immersed into a fluid or equivalent to the submerged portion of the object below the fluid surface, and magnitude of the buoyant force is equivalent to the weight ...

Source: Journal of Animal Ecology Age of maturity is a very important aspect of growth and development that has been at the forefront of many scientific experiments over the years. Berrigan and Charnov(Berrigan & Charnov, 1994) first came up with a postulate on how the size and age of maturity of reptile and fishes were interrelated. Berrigan and Charnov through their paper, created a scientific puzzle wherein, the growth is positively correlated to slight increase in temperature, therefore creating a positive slope in the size-to-age at maturity reaction norm. On the other hand, if food is the deciding factor and not temperature, ...

Should the 1st amendment grant Hobby Lobby a religious exemption in its lawsuit at SCOTUS?

Hobby Lobby lawsuit is an exceptional case because it has corporatized the religious liberty. The 1st amendment should not grant Hobby Lobby a religious exemption in its lawsuit at SCOUTS. This is because of the fact that such liberty extends to the privileges, for-profit businesses and the rights, which have been associated since long with the religious non-profits and churches. But, as a matter of fact this change is the consequence of the deeper and persistent upsetting of the religious liberty law in America. The granting of the religious exemption means that the congressional intent is ignored, and the court has ...

This is a case of graphical representation of linear inequality. In the above given graph, the shaded region defines the amount of refrigerators and the television sets that can be carried by the truck. Hence, in order to determine the relation between the number of refrigerators and TV sets, we have to find the inequality that describes the area. Let ‘x’ be the number of refrigerators and ‘y’ be the number of TVs.

Observing the graph well, we infer that the graph is in the first quadrant. Thus,

x>=0 and y>=0. This statement means that the number of TVs has to be greater than or equal to zero, which very well complies ...

There are 2 main approaches on profit maximization problem:

- Total revenue to total cost - Marginal revenue to marginal cost - Total revenue to total cost.

According to this approach total profit (TP) is equal to total revenue (TR) minus total cost (TC).

TP = TR – TC.

TR and TC are functions of quantity (Q).

TR = f (Q) and TC = f (q).

In this case we look for a value of Q which outputs maximal value of P.

- Marginal revenue to marginal cost It is an alternative perspective that relies on marginal profit value (MP) which is equal to marginal revenue (MR) minus marginal cost (MC). MP = MR – MC If MR is greater than MC at some value of quantity MP is greater than 0. This means that we will receive profit from the next produced item so we need to produce a greater ...

Introduction

On the Mother’s Day of 2001, a murder incident occurred at a place called Antietam Creek. The body was found lying lifeless in the bushes of the creek. There was evidence to show that this was purely a murder incident because the manner in which the body of a young man was lying on the ground and also its condition was suggestive as such. At the bottom of a steep hill lay the body, with a pool of blood and evidence of some tussle on the ground. This showed that the young man must have struggled with his assailants before they succeeded in killing ...

Abstract

This experiment aims at determining the Young’s Modulus (E) by using the strain gauge technique. It is determined for a simply supported beam by measuring the strain in the beam when it is loaded in 3 point bending. i.e. load is applied exactly at the center of the beam. The bending of a beam is an example of Hooke’s Law, which states that, when an elastic body is strained in any way, the deformation is directly proportional to the applied stress provided the body is not strained beyond its elastic limit. In this experiment, Young’s Modulus is studied ...

Introduction

The series of recessions that have occurred in the past decades have raised several questions about the effectiveness of the various existing measures of recession, some of which use a comprehensive set of indicators. A number of analysts have stressed that financial market indicators provide a more effective predictions about recession. In this respect the predictive capacity of the bond yield curve have received much attention in recent times. The current discussion sheds some light on the predictive capacity of the yield curve and the associated term spread. Current scenario is studied in terms of the yield curve obtained from present ...
