This document summarizes key concepts related to inflation and its impact on project cash flows. It provides examples of calculating equivalent values under inflation for items such as annuity payments, lump sums, interest payments, and deposits/withdrawals. It demonstrates how to determine inflation-adjusted interest rates and convert between actual and constant dollars. Calculations are shown for topics like equivalent present worth, annuity due, future worth, and establishing equivalence between actual and constant cash flows.
1) The document discusses rate-of-return analysis and concepts including internal rate of return (IRR), breakeven interest rate (i*), simple vs. non-simple investments, and cash flow sign rules.
2) It provides examples of calculating i* for various projects using cash flows, present worth analysis, and plotting the net present worth.
3) Mixed investments are discussed along with calculating the rate of return considering both positive and negative cash flows.
This document provides an overview of an investment property located at 11224 Richland Ave in Los Angeles, CA. The property consists of 6 units (1 three-bedroom unit, 4 two-bedroom units, and 1 single-family home). It is currently rented at $1,756 per month on average but could achieve $1,942 per month at market rates. The listing price is $1,525,000 with $477,251 down payment and $1,047,749 loan amount. The net operating income is estimated at $99,115 per year. The property is an apartment complex in turnkey condition with upside potential and excellent location.
This document discusses replacement decisions and economic analysis concepts. It provides examples of:
1) Calculating annual equivalent costs and present worth for replacement decisions involving multiple cash flows over time.
2) Comparing alternative replacement options based on their annual equivalent costs to determine the better option.
3) Determining the economic service life of equipment by identifying the number of years providing the maximum positive annual equivalent value.
This document discusses present worth analysis and cash flow calculations. It identifies the cash inflows and outflows of different projects, including savings from labor, salvage values, capital expenditures, and operating costs. It then calculates the present worth, payback period, discounted payback period, and net present worth of the various projects using interest rates ranging from 6% to 18% to determine which projects should be accepted.
1) The document discusses nominal and effective interest rates, compounding frequencies, and cash flows with interest.
2) Examples are provided to calculate interest rates, future/present values, and payment amounts for various scenarios such as loans, leases, investments, and transfers between accounts.
3) Key concepts covered include the differences between nominal and effective rates, continuous compounding, solving for unknown amounts like deposits, installments, and balances over time.

The US Army created America's Army, a first person shooter game, in 2002 to attract and inform potential recruits about military service. Colonel Casey Wardynski conceived of using gaming to provide an engaging virtual soldier experience to the public. America's Army has attracted millions of potential recruits and been expanded to multiple platforms. The US Army has also used the game to develop over dozen training applications for soldiers and provide virtual soldiering experiences to the public at various events.
Wildfires occur most frequently in hot, dry areas like parts of Africa, California, and Australia. They are caused by both human and natural factors. Human causes include arson, accidents from activities like smoking, and slash-and-burn farming practices. Natural causes include lightning strikes and spontaneous combustion of dried vegetation. Climate change is increasing global temperatures and fueling longer wildfire seasons with more extreme fires. This leads to greater damage, risks to human health from smoke, economic losses, and habitat destruction for animals. Firefighters work to contain wildfires through tactics like water bombing from planes and helicopters, controlled backburns, and fire lines.
Information on the US military branch of Infantry. Basic history and branch detail including examples of current infantry units and requirements and paths to becoming a member of the infantry. Made for an ROTC branch brief to better understand the different job opportunities outside of Army ROTC.
Police officers perform a variety of duties including patrolling jurisdictions, responding to emergency calls, investigating crimes, and enforcing laws. The job requires both physical and mental stamina as officers spend much of their time outdoors in a police car or indoors working in a jail. To become an officer requires a high school diploma, some college coursework, physical fitness testing, and graduation from a police academy. While the work can be stressful with long hours, the median salary of over $50,000 fits within the goals of owning a home and vehicles. A related occupation of detective has similar duties but focuses more on investigating criminal cases and gathering evidence.
This document discusses performance measurement under the HEARTH Act and how communities can use tools and data to measure their performance in addressing homelessness. It recommends that communities establish goals, figure out what data they need from HMIS to measure progress towards goals, and establish accountability processes. It introduces two free tools to help with performance measurement - the Homeless System Evaluator which provides quantitative data from HMIS and the Qualitative Assessment Surveys which capture stakeholder perspectives. The tools can help identify gaps and ensure communities are working as a coordinated system to achieve the goals of the HEARTH Act.

All,
As a Club we will be holding a Canned food drive for thanksgiving this year. I would ask that you get as many people to participate as you can. Be creative to get mass participation. Collect the goods from 14-18 NOV get a total weight and then donate to one of many local organizations in your area afterwards. Please take pictures if you can of (volunteers, people you get cans from, your pile of cans, dropping them off at your organization of choice) and email me the final weight of what was collected. Email me the final tally and who it was donated to, along with any pictures you took. In the Subject line put your city or post. For example-- Subject: Fort Benning SAMC Canned goods.
I have attached the flier, all you have to do is put a text box on this, anywhere you like, with your personalized info. For example, here at 2nd Brigade I am going to put--See SFC Judge 256-554-0294 (in between "we want you to donate" and the dates). Please let me know if you need any help. If you can't find a place to donate your canned goods afterwards let me know and I will find a place for you.
I have already been asked; how do you get the weight for the cans?? 2 years ago in my Recruiting Station we just used the scale and weighed all the cans in small groups and then added all the weight up. FYI 1-6-2 we came up with around 1000lbs of cans and then dropped them off at the local radio station that was collecting for several organizations. It built good rapport with the station and ended up helping us out a bit too.
Feedback???
For Christmas I would love your ideas!!
Thanks,
SFC Bobby Judge

21. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
โHow often do Army musicians move?โ
On average, musicians move every 3-4 years. In many ways this works to
the musicianโs advantage because it allows them the opportunity to serve
in other areas of the country or overseas and also gives them various
experiences/positions which are valued in the Army promotion system.
โWill my family move with me?โ
Yes. There are very few exceptions to this which include tours to South
Korea for a one year period and deployments.
โWhat kinds of groups will I play in?โ
Each band has the capability to perform together as a concert band or to
break down into several smaller ensembles. These ensembles might
include jazz band/combo, rock band, brass/woodwind quintet, Dixieland
band, country band, salsa band, etc. Most musicians can expect to
perform in more than one of these groups depending on their instrument.
WWW.BANDS.ARMY.MIL
THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE U.S. ARMY BAND PROGRAM
22. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
โWhat is the typical day like in an Army Band?โ
Most bands meet in the morning at about 6:30 for an hour-long workout
consisting of cardio or strength training exercises. Afterwards, band
members are free to go home for breakfast and conduct personal hygiene.
The band reconvenes at 9:00 and might have a large group rehearsal such
as concert or jazz band. From 11:30-1:00 the band usually breaks for
lunch. In the afternoon, small groups rehearse and band members spend
time doing their additional duties. There is also time to practice
individually if you are not involved in a rehearsal and have completed your
duties. Of course, this schedule is often adjusted for performances which
might occur during the day or if extra rehearsal time is needed for an
upcoming performance. A typical day ends at about 4:30.
WWW.BANDS.ARMY.MIL
THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE U.S. ARMY BAND PROGRAM
23. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
โWhat are the additional duties for an Army bandsman?โ
Each Army Band is completely self sufficient. This means that we book
our own performances, arrange for transportation, order music and
instruments, file paperwork to ensure timely promotions and leave, and
manage training requirements for the Army. Each musician is assigned to
an additional duty within the band such as working in the music library or
maintaining an inventory of instruments.
โCan I go to school while on active duty?โ
Absolutely! In fact, the Army will pay 100% tuition assistance for courses
you take while on active duty. Many musicians take advantage of this
benefit and are able to complete degree programs while serving full-time
in a band. This can be accomplished through online universities, satellite
campuses, or local colleges. Of course, coursework cannot interfere with
your responsibilities at the band.
WWW.BANDS.ARMY.MIL
THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE U.S. ARMY BAND PROGRAM
24. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
โCan I teach/gig in the civilian sector while serving in an Army Band?โ
Absolutely! Many of our musicians enjoy teaching and gigging in the
community and we encourage this as a way to further professional
development and as a way to spread the word about our Army Bands. As
long as your outside obligations donโt interfere with your full-time job, the
Army Band, you are free to teach and gig as much as you like.
โWill I work on the weekends and holidays?โ
It is common for the band to have a performance on a weekend or holiday.
When this happens, the band will be given time off during the week to
compensate. Other than performances, the band is usually off on
weekends and observes all national holidays.

25. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
โWill I have to deploy to a combat zone? If so, will I be reclassified into
another job?โ
You may deploy as a musician with and Army Band to an area where the
U.S. Army is in continued conflict. You will NOT be reclassified into
another job in the case that your band is deployed. You will deploy as a
band and will serve in your assigned location as a band performing
concerts for the troops, playing for ceremonies, and using music as a
diplomatic tool to improve relations with the local nationals. Deployments
range in length from 1-15 months.
