Evaluation Of R&D Project Costs, Burton V. Dean, Asim Roy

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper presents a general model for cost evaluation in Research and Development and other projects, where it is necessary to predict both the expected cost and its variance. The model shows means of accounting for interdependencies between various cost elements in both the expected value and variance calculation. The model does not require any explicit knowledge of the exact probability distribution of any of the cost elements, but only some approximate values for their expected values, variances and correlations with other variables. If the user of this model is not willing to account for all the interdependencies between various …

An Efficient Cutting Plane Algorithm For Unconstrained Convex Minimization, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A cutting-plane algorithm is proposed for minimizing a continuously differentiable convex function of n variables. One notable feature of this algorithm is that each cut is actually a supporting hyperplane, which does not require an iterative procedure. To initiate the whole process, a phase I method based on the complementary pivoting algorithms will be used. Of particular interest is the one-dimensional version of the cutting-plane algorithm, which reduces to a new form of line search.

Cost Accounting: An Institutional Yardstick For Measuring British Entrepreneural Performance, Circa 1914, Robert R. Locke

Accounting Historians Journal

This article, like that published in the spring issue, again finds fault with recent attempts by economic historians to rehabilitate the reputation of the late Victorian and Edwardian entrepreneur. It argues that, since after 1880 cost accounting became a "necessary" technology for good entrepreneurial performance, the revisionist economic historians' failure to consider institutional factors, like cost accounting, has led them to overlook elements essential to an appraisal of comparative entrepreneurial performance. The growing inferiority of British costing methods, as opposed to American and German, moreover, meant a relative British entrepreneurial failure.

Stochastic Dominance And Information Value, Young Koan Kwon, John C. Fellingham, D. Paul Newman

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Incentives for producing and disseminating information have been analysed in many different contexts. Kihlstrom [6], for example, develops a Bayesian framework to analyze the properties of demand functions for information about product quality. From an entirely different perspective, Spence [8, 91 demonstrates the private value of “signalling” information. Similarly, Wilson [lo] considers the value to the firm of producing technological information and the effect of such production on equilibrium theory.

Solving Differentiable Equations Via Constrained Optimization, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The problem of finding a zero of a continuously differentiable system of m equations in n unknowns (m ≤ n) is transformed into a nonlinearly constrained optimization problem for which a Kuhn-Tucker point is shown to be either a solution of the original system or a point at which the derivative matrix is rank deficient. An algorithm is developed for the special case when m equals 1 and the function is convex. It may sometimes be used for finding a minimum of a continuously differentiable convex function, with the advantage of requiring possibly fewer line searches than an ordinary minimization …

A Proposal For The Establishment Of A Monthly Latin American Fisheries Newspaper, Kenneth Proudfoot

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

At the present time there does not exist any publication or other communication medium, directed specifically to a Latin American readership, that reports thoroughly and accurately on the fisheries and other marine-related developments in Latin America. Problems of language, physical size of the area, financing, personnel, bureaucracy and politics, among others, have always proved to be overwhelming. This study describes the informational needs of the people and organizations concerned with Latin America's fisheries sector, and review current fisheries and marine-related publications in this region. a preliminary economic feasibility analysis for the creation and publication of a new monthly Latin American …

The Impact Of The Computer On The Choice Activity Of Decision Makers: A Replication With Actual Used Of Computerized Mis, Robert Koester, Fred Luthans

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

University of Nebraska-Lincoln A previous study on the impact of computer generated information on the choice activity of student subjects found that those with computer experience were less influenced by computer generated information than they were by information presented in a more traditional mimeograph format. Subjects who had little, if any, computer experience were more influenced in their choice activity by computer generated information than by the identical information presented in the more traditional mimeograph format (Luthans & Koester, 1976). The results of that study seemed to have definite implications for users of computerized information systems, suggesting that computer generated …

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The proposed guide discusses procedures that an accountant should apply in a review of a financial forecast and provides guidance on the preparation of the accountant's report on the forecast. A financial forecast is defined in the proposed guide as an estimate of the most probable financial position of an entity, the results of its operations and changes in its financial position for one or more future periods. The "most probable" qualification means that the assumptions used have been evaluated by management and the forecast is based on management's judgment of the most likely set of conditions and its most …
