What percentage of the project value should I offer to the marketing company I am setting up a tie up with?

I have a small startup which is doing decently well. We have been in business since one year now, and I can say that, for starters we have done good.


We have designed a new project which we believe can take us to the next step. However for this project we need people with strong influence in the beaurocracy. For this reason we are setting up a tie-up with this company which has a very strong influence in the beaurocracy and will provide my company with a definitive platform where I can launch our project.


However, what I want to know is what kind of conditions should I present in the MoU. I m esp.concerned with the revenue sharing part. Obviously we are going to give them a percentage of the gross amount. The gross will change with the size of any particular client that we get. So shud the % be dependent on the total invoice value. I mean more % for them for gross of 1000000 %26amp; less% for 200000.


How do I decide these values???What percentage of the project value should I offer to the marketing company I am setting up a tie up with?

Having seen many affiliate programs and joint merged ventures, there are many variables to consider.


Without any specifics that your are obviously withholding, your company might consider using a net revenue platform instead.


Depending on the overhead involved on your end, and assuming that total invoices are still subject to other external factors that will further reduce the bottom line, it would make sense to offer a smaller percentage of a net result.


Consider that option.

Appraising Residential Properties





Since there may be more books with such a complicated name the ISBN is 978-0-922154-92-0What is a good book to learn how to value residential property?
Try the Sunday paper.... Most values are based on what their neighbor's similar house sold for - ';comps';
There are tons of books out there that you can read to find residential values, but the best way to find an accurate residential value is to take the house your wanting to value drive the neighborhood for homes for sale see if their comparable in size features,etc. and you can ask a REALTOR what $ houses have sold for in that area how long they took to sale and price your home using all the data you collect. If all the others are selling for around 45-50K and you price yours at 70K your screwed sitting on an over priced home

Is the value of a home affected if it has recently been entered into a flood zone?

I've made an offer on a condo which has recently been entered into a flood zone. This information wasn't known by the sellers or myself until after I signed for an offer. Is the value of a home affected if it recently has been entered into a flood zone? If I were to buy it, how much more difficult would it be to sell it later? Can this finding let me get out of the contract if I wanted to without any the the sellers keeping my deposit?Is the value of a home affected if it has recently been entered into a flood zone?
Tallahassee is correct, this isn't a simple answer. But when expenses go up, value goes down. Can you back out of the contract, depends on how it was written. You can to lose your earnest money. The key is when this change occurred. If the sellers received notice prior to your offer, but after listing the condo, then they should have disclosed it at the time of your offer. You will need proof as to when they were notified. Being in a flood zone doesn't automatically mean you will have one, but it does mean you will need to purchase flood insurance, or the association will. Either way you would have to pay a portion of it if you buy.Is the value of a home affected if it has recently been entered into a flood zone?
the other post is right so talk to your realtor (regarding possible cancellation and earnest money back if you want out) the realtor should be able to get you out since this is somethign that infringes onthe enjoyment of the propty and value (basic PA verbiage) good luck (I wouldn't buy something in a flood zone these days)

How does having a car painted affect its resale value?

I have purchased a 2003 Buick Rendezvous CXL. It's this ugly blue color on the outside, kind of like baby blue with dark gray base/running boards. I wanted to know around how much it would cost to have the entire thing painted, but also how would it affect its resale value? Is an aftermarket paint job worth it and how is the quality compared to a factory paint job. Thanks.How does having a car painted affect its resale value?
It would hurt the resale value of the vehicle to change the color on it from it's original color. as far as the quality of a paint job, that depends on the shop. Shops that do cheap paint jobs look bad and shops that charge more usually do so because they use higher quality materials and have more thorough processes. I would not get it painted a different color or painted at all because you are going to be looking at a minimum of $2500 for a decent paint job.How does having a car painted affect its resale value?
As a sales and leasing agent at a dealership, I can tell you it would be a waste of money to paint your car. People are more concerned with how the car runs, mileage on the vehicle and the interior appearance. And with the current gas crisis, the MPG(miles per gallon). Aftermarket paint jobs are usually cheesy at best, unless you spend a LOT of money.
500 to 1000 $ will get money back on this sale , if no damage or rust I would try a very good cleaner first or oxidizer then good wax..40$ verses 500$ no brainer if your selling

  • How does one determine the value of any given item, without spending hours doing so?

    I have a lot of unique things that I'd like to sell, but determining the value is difficult to do. Finding like items takes too much time for some things, and impossible for others! If 'Joe Blow' has the only other like item, how do I know he/she hasn't asked too little or too much? I would like to sell things on E-Bay, but the time I spend trying to find the value of stuff seems too much? Are there guidelines for this kind of thing, or am I left with paying for things to be appraised?How does one determine the value of any given item, without spending hours doing so?
    It depends on what these items are.





    Take for example, vintage postcards. There are books called price guides that provide value of various types and topic of postcards. A postcard buyer and seller can peruse that book to check or get some indication of the value of the item





    I know there are price guides for antiques (see Kovel's books), furniture, coins, stamps and other collectibles. But it will entail RESEARCH





    But if you want to get a more solid evaluation, you should have the item appraisedHow does one determine the value of any given item, without spending hours doing so?
    In my opinion, the value of an item is simply what someone is willing to pay for it. Try looking for your items on eBay, and see what they're going for. Otherwise, you can search the internet, or get appraisals, but appraisals cost money, so I would search.





    If you have antiques, or fine jewelry, I would go for the appraisal, because you can include that amount in your selling description.





    You could also try going to a pawn shop or antique store and asking how much they would sell the item for. I brought a set of rings to a pawn shop once and they told me how much they would buy them for, how much they would sell them for, and also how much an appraiser would value them at, and all that was free!!

    How much voltage and value for resistors need for cooling device for the brain?

    I am working on the project where I am designing a device for hypothermia to cool brain temperature. The device first has to measure the blood temperature and then cool it down to normal. I m thinking to make a device such as neck patch and i have designed the circuit with the resistor, thermistor and transistor. I need the value(volts) for my battery and value for the resistors...Thanks for your helpHow much voltage and value for resistors need for cooling device for the brain?
    None of those components will be able to cool, so I guess right now you're just talking about the temperature-measurement part of the circuit.





    However, you don't give any description or schematic for the circuit you've designed. It is really quite impossible to answer your question without knowing that. If you could put your circuit diagram on the web and link to that, then people could help you.

    How much to have a mechanic appraise the value of an old car?

    I have a very old, just-this-side of working car that I'm ready to pass off to someone else. Trying to decide whether it's worth it to just send it to a junk yard.





    If I do want to sell the car though, I'd like to have a mechanic do a check-up on the car to help me appraise its value. How much do mechanics usually charge for this service?How much to have a mechanic appraise the value of an old car?
    Most mechanics don't appraise vehicles, not as far as value. They generally give you a report, or at least an idea, of the mechanical condition of the vehicle. That will probably run 50 to 100 dollars, depending on what they actually do of course.





    Well, if someone else is willing to buy it, then it's worth selling don't you think? If it's barely working, it's probably not worth much. I would just have a mechanic take a look at it, a quick look, and get his opinion on value. Then just run an ad, anyone who wants to buy it can have their own mechanic do an inspection on it and give you an offer.


    It's really only worth what someone is willing to pay.How much to have a mechanic appraise the value of an old car?
    Usually 40 to 70 dollars, or 1 hour's labor to look it over, put it on a lift and make suggestions.





    Good luck!
    I dont know how the car is but you should go to kbb.com and se if they have a value dpending on its mechanical condition.
    mechanic's are not appreisers, depends on the type of car you have. your best bet if you really want to give it away give it to a charities, like purple hart, red cross ect ect you can have them appraise your car for retail worth and maybe a tax deduction
    do you want an appraisal or a check up? A mechanic isnt the best person to get to appraise the cars value. To be honest an insurance adjuster NOT working for an insurance company can appraise the value of the car. The check up is an excellent job for a mechanic. Depending on how bad off the car is, a check up/ tune up can run you from $150.00 to $1,000.00
    It depends. What is the state of the body? How old is the car? Is it over 25 years old? If so, it's probably worth keeping and fixing up as cars after 25 values go up. It depends. I am sure that someone out there would love to have that old car and fix it up. You never know. Check around, place a ';FOR SALE'; sign in it and see what kind of interest you get out of it. You may be able to get a nice price if someone is willing to pay it. Best wishes!!!

    I is easier to look up the value of the car on bluebook.com. This website is the official reference for many banks in determining lone values for used automobiles. If you are set on having the car looked at by a mechanic there are several things you should consider. First it may cost more money to have the car towed to a machanic shop than the car is worth so it is important to first look up the value and then decide if further action should take place. Second if you do decide to have the car checked out, don't tell the mechanic you are just checking it out to sell. He should do a free inspection and be able to give you a discription of the problems and a quote. This can be deducted from the blue book value and will give you a close estimate of the total worth of the car. Last the you have to take into consideration that unless it is some sort of car that is in demand such as a 57' chevy or a certain year model of that make it will all make a difference in the sale. Some parts are hard to find and the car can be sold for parts. Oh yea, when you find a mechanic, be sure that you check him out. They can give you a ride that will end up fooling you into just wanting to just leave the car at the mechanics shop and letting him dispose of it. I have seen people sell an old truck for $100 that with a little work ended up being sold a month later for $5000 becuase the person selling it did not know that there were very few of them left on the road today making it a colectors item in an condition. Also check ebay for cars like yours. Most people will drive across the US to pick up a junker that there are no parts for anymore. Ebay is a good indicator of this.
    A mechanic is the worst appraiser of a used car. Use a reputable dealer, or e-mail me direct with the specs and I will help you. (Stevenlaureys@hotmail.com)

    You could have an interesting situation on your hands if you take your car to a mechanic (whom will usually know what a cars $$ potential is). You see a mechanic is usually always looking for good deals and if this car is potentially valuable and he knows it but you don't then he could take advantage of you and say it is only worth a few hundred and offer to buy it from you. BE VERY LEARY ABOUT THAT. Your best bet to get a fair market value for you car is to decide what type of condition your car is in. (i.e, lots of rust, does not run, in parts....etc.) then take that information along with the year/make/model and anything else you can dig up on the old car and go to www.ebay.com and do a search in ebaymotors for something similar to your car. There you can get a good idea of how much someone is willing to buy your car for. I have done several classics this away and have seemed to come out pretty good on the deal.

    How can I find out if my home value went up?

    I just purchased my home in Aug, 07. I did 100 percent finance, and I would like refinance so I can get lower interest rate. I currently have 10.75 as a rate with a 30 year fixed interest rate. I just want to know how can I find out if my value went up and if I can refinance just for a lower rate.How can I find out if my home value went up?
    you can get appraisal usually cost a few hundred dollars or just look at sales in your areas for comparable homesHow can I find out if my home value went up?
    spend around $300 for an appraisal. thats who the banks use.


    avoid agents.
    Just type in HomeGain .
    You purchased a 100% financed home 2 months ago and actually believe it has gone up in value? Enough to refinance in todays market? And get a lower rate? You got the higher rate because most likely your credit score, and I highly doubt that it has gone up much in the last two months, in addition 100% loans are out of fashion right now, and housing worth has dropped, and will continue to drop for the next year or two, as more homes flood the market, and there are less eligible buyers.
    housevalues.com
    You really need the help of a real estate appraiser. The value may have went up, it may have went down, or it may be the same. It really is impossible to tell without knowing the type of property and the location of the property. If the value has gone up, you may qualify for a refinance and if you do I can pretty much guarantee that you could lower your rate (10.75% is very high) If you have any questions feel free to email me at dantaft@bellsouth.net
    I would really doubt it. Most prices are going down slightly right now or staying stagnant.





    Get on your county tax assesor website and see what recent sales in your neighborhood are valued at. Look on the MLS and see what houses comparable to yours are selling for.





    You are going to have to pay fees to refinance and your loan is only a year old. It is very unlikely that your credit imporved that much ina year.





    You bought a house you could not afford (100% financing) when you were not ready (poor credit, no cash down).
    You can try zillow.com but that is not always reliable. Better is to call a local real estate agent. If an agent helped you buy this property call that one or call the mortgage broker or the appraiser who did the work for the lender.





    It depends where you live but most areas are not doing well as far as appreciating real estate. Since you have no money of your own invested you have very little or no equity in the home.





    Have you spoken directly to your lender to see if you can qualify for a lower interest rate?
    Since it's so recent that you purchased your home, put the money you would spend on refinancing and toward the principle of your mortgage.

  • How does the use of green building products effect the appraisal value of a home?

    I recently built a house and was told by an appraiser that the value of the house doesn't reflect the products used to build. I don't understand this since I've laways heard that Granite countertops increases the value of a home. So which is it?How does the use of green building products effect the appraisal value of a home?
    It does, if they are certified energy star. You need to do the whole thing energy efficient though, not just some things.





    Granite counter are an accessory, they do not effect value, however they do make the house more desirable and easier to sell.How does the use of green building products effect the appraisal value of a home?
    I agree in part with Landlord however values are dictated by the recent sales price of other homes that are comparable in the same area. Other things such as a geothermal system (see http://geothermalexperts.net ) make a home more desirable and people will pay more for them.

    Report Abuse



    Certain components do add to the value of a home. These can include such items as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and hardwood floors. All these are very saleable items right now and increase the home's marketability. They can also be associated with more upscale housing compared to Formica counters, white appliances and carpet or vinyl on the floors.





    Green building products are a different story. To date there is no evidence that ';building green'; has any impact on value unless it increases the home's energy efficiency. Then it may raise the appeal of the house, but only within its price range. In other words, it won't make that $125,000 house sell for $250,000, but it may sell in 30 days instead of 120 days.
    The appraiser isn't talking about the materials you've used. He or she is commenting that the cost to build a home NOW exceeds the market value of those homes. It's the principle of contribution.
    This is a tricky question that might be hard to get a simple answer, since so many aspects about appraisal do not universally apply to every property. It has been my experience that just about every home is some shade of green; cheap homes tend to be light green if they have some features, and other homes are dark green. And that's just about all you read in the advertising these days...';green this'; and ';green that';. Because being ';green'; means so many things, I pretty much ignore it. I don't automatically give an extra 10% or $10,000 if somebody tells me their house is green; there's just no way to quantify that. What is very important in the appraisal is not necessary what green things were used, but what the cost of construction is; this will be a starting point for determining the value. The next step is to determine if the green products were too expensive for the market area (this is called over-built). In Texas, you can spend $25,000 on a geo-thermal HVAC; however, a traditional system only costs $10,000. Most Texans are going to get a traditional system. And yes, granite counters usually increase the value of a property that previously had none; how much exactly is the answer to another Yahoo! question.

    How do I delete all the cells greater then a certain value in excel?

Is there a faster way to just delete the cells?How do I delete all the cells greater then a certain value in excel?
    Yes filter all of the ones that are greater than that certain value and then delete all of those and take off the filter. Only the numbers less than that certain value should be left.How do I delete all the cells greater then a certain value in excel?
    1. make a new column one to however much.


    2. Sort on your first data column and then highlight and delete the cells over that certain value (they'll be all bunched together so it'll be much easier this way)


    3. reiterate with the next data column in turn until you've done all six columns


    4. Resort on the new column you made in step 1 to get back the original order





    If the order doesn't matter you won't need steps 1 and 4.
    Just write a quick macro to do it for you...much faster.

    How can you tell if a quadratic function has no minimum value?

    I have a math test tomorrow %26amp; cannot remember how to recognize if a quadratic function has a minimum/maximum value. I know how to find them I just don't know how to know that they are not there at all.





    For example 6+3x-2x squared has no minimum value. But how do I recognize that?How can you tell if a quadratic function has no minimum value?
    if the number before x squared ( -2x squared) is negative or has a minus before it, the graph will have a maximum point instead of a minimumHow can you tell if a quadratic function has no minimum value?
    One way to tell that a quadratic function has no minimum value is, when put into its vertex form, a is negative. That is, for





    f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k





    The vertex is located at (h, k), and


    a) if a %26gt; 0, then (h, k) is a minimum


    b) if a %26lt; 0, then (h, k) is a maximum.
    Sweetheart, that is a linear function.


    That's y=x+6.





    If I am not mistaken, a parabola has no minimum value if it is shaped like an ';n'; instead of a ';u.'; Which would have what sign (-) (+)?

    this is pre-March 12th, it recently changed to a positive enterprise value of 53B, but these were the numbers... I guess the government's cash infusion changed things.How can a company have a negative Enterprise Value and a positive Book Value?
    probably carrying more debt then their capital is worth. Like having a 250k mortgage on a 200k house. But they are still turning a profit.


    But i don't know much about economics, so the terms may not be so straight forward.How can a company have a negative Enterprise Value and a positive Book Value?
    Well, enterprise value is based on market capitalization + debt - cash equivalents. Banks books value is heavily weighted towards cash equivalents which are a negative in the formula. Market cap for a company selling at 1.50 a share is not too great, so the only positive in the formula is debt of which C does have a tidy sum but they also have a much more tidy sum of cash equivalents which throws the value into the negative. Interestingly though, you do not see anyone beating the door down to take the company over. It might be that debt is under reported especially as it relates to potential liabilities that have not yet been recognized.

    How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?

    How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation? If you replace the equal sign of an equation with an inequality sign, is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and the inequality? Can you show me an example of an inequality and provide a value that may or may not be a solution to the inequality.





    How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?
    You're asking four questions. I'll take them in order.





    1) A value is a solution for the inequality if you plug in the value for the variable and the inequality is true. Ie, if X%26gt;5, then X=6 is a solution.





    2) The difference is as follows: equations and inequalities both have solution sets - values that will make the equation or inequality true. The difference between 5x=10 and 5x %26gt; 10 is that x=2 satisfies the equation but not the inequality (since 10 is not greater than 10), while anything greater than 2 (including 2.00000001) will satisfy the inequality but not the equation.





    3) Yes, the same value will solve both an equation and an inequality if and only if the solution sets overlap. This basically means that you need a ';less than or equal to'; or ';greater than or equal to'; sign.





    4) An example of an inequality would be:





    4x + 5 %26lt; 17





    Try the values 2, 3, and 4. One of these is a solution. The others are not.How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?
    Simply put, a value is a solution to inequality only if it SATISFIES the inequality. The same is true for an equation; the value is a solution to the equation if it SATISFIES the equation. The only difference between the two is that one is an inequality (less than, greater than, etc.), and the other is an equality (equals sign).





    Example:


    Determine if x = 6 is a solution to the inequality 4x %26lt; 13.





    Plug x = 6 into the inequality and simplify:


    4(6) %26lt; 13


    24 %26lt; 13





    Obviously, 24 is NOT less than 13, so x = 6 is not a solution to the inequality. Now, let's try x = 2 to see if that is a solution. Follow the same process:





    2(4) %26lt; 13


    8 %26lt; 13





    8 is less than 13, so we would say that x = 2 is a solution to the inequality.





    Now, there do exist values that will satisfy both an equation and an inequality. Let's take a look at an example:





    6x + 2 %26gt; 9


    5x - 4 = 11





    Let's see if x = 3 will satisfy both the inequality and equality. We'll do the inequality first:





    6(3) + 2 %26gt; 9


    18 + 2 %26gt; 9


    20 %26gt; 9 ...x = 3 satisfies the inequality since 20 is greater than 9





    Now do the equality:





    5(3) - 4 = 11


    15 - 4 = 11


    11 = 11 ...x = 3 satisfies the equality since 11 equals 11





    I hope this clarifies things for you!

    How best dry blackberry leaves preserving the medicinal value?

    Do wild blackberry leaves keep their medicinal value when dried in a dehydrator, or is it best to dry naturally?





    I'm having some severe health problems right now and finding that the wild blackberry leaf tea is working wonders so have picked a huge batch to dry now.





    Also, if you know, I read that the leaves are most potent if picked before or when the plants are blooming. Is there any merit to that?





    Thanks very much in advance.How best dry blackberry leaves preserving the medicinal value?
    I’ve done a little research on this and discovered a few bits of information that might be useful. One suggestion came from the following site:





    http://www.natural-healing-guide.com/The…





    You might find the paragraph that states the following helpful,





    ”Fermenting the blackberry leaves enhances their flavor and therapeutic effect. To ferment, crush slightly wilted blackberry leaves with a rolling pin. Wrap the leaves in a damp cloth and hang them in a warm place. After two or three days, the leaves will exude a rose like scent. At this point, remove the leaves from the cloth; let them dry before using”





    This website supports what you appear to have already discovered:





    http://www.pickyourown.org/DHbasilmint.h…





    One sentence in the article states:


    “The best time to cut herbs for drying is just before they flower. This is when the leaves have the most oil, which is what gives herbs aroma and flavor.” I recall from my distant past that marijuana growers and users find the flower tops to be the most potent part of this plant so this could very possibly be true of other plants like blueberry.





    Hope this helps and that you’re feeling better soon.

    adding a closet turns a den into a bedroom and will probably add


    25 to 50% more value than what you spend to add it.





    example: if you spend $300 to build it, the value it adds to the house should be between $375 to $450 more to the appraised value.


    However listing a 4 bedroom home versus a 3 bedroom home would probably add $5k -$10k to the value if it is a large room.





    adding a closet to a 12x12 room will only make the room look very small and not very attractive.


    but adding a closet to a 15x20 room will certainly make a potential buyer take notice.How much will adding a closet increase the value of my house?
    I don't know about value, but it is a building code to have a closet in every sleeping room.
    It would be according to how large the closet is and how much you decrease the size of the bedroom.
    The adding of a bedroom adds marketability and thereby additional value. But you're not adding square feet and that is really what would increase the value in terms of money.
    I honestly don't think it would increase much in the way of $$, but it might bring more interested buyers through your house and increase the changes of selling. Depending on the cost, I probably wouldn't do it unless I needed the additional space for myself.

    How do I make changes to increase the value of my home without racking up big remodeling bills?

    I know kitchens and bathrooms are the best places to put your money, however I am on a budget and the place just needs some upgrades because it is in good shape. Some things are a bit outdated like light fixtures and such. How much of an increase in value can I expect without doing a major remodeling?How do I make changes to increase the value of my home without racking up big remodeling bills?

    A Variant on Waring's Problem











    Legendre showed that every positive integer can be written as the sum of four squares in 1770. Subsequently, in answer to a question of Waring, it was shown that every positive integer is the sum of 9 (non-negative) cubes, the sum of 19 fourth powers, etc.





    What if we extend this investigation to rational numbers? It is not difficult to see that Legendre's result actually shows that every positive rational number is the sum of four rational squares and that this number cannot be decreased. Passing to the case of cubes, we claim that every positive rational number is the sum of three non-negative rational cubes.





    Given a rational number, r, we are looking for rational solutions to x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = r. Clearing denominators, we are looking for integer solutions to a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = r d^3. Dividing by c^3 and letting s=a/c, t=b/c, and u=d/c we are looking for rational solutions to s^3 + t^3 + 1 = r u^3. But this has the trivial solution s= -1, t=0, u=0. If we take an arbitrary line through this point (note that there is a two-parameter family of these) and intersect it with our cubic surface, in general we will not get rational points but points whose coordinates lie in the field Q(Sqrt[k]) = {x+y Sqrt[k]| x and y are rational}, where k is some rational number. If we take one of these points, find the equation of the tangent plane to the cubic surace at this point and intersect the surface with this plane, we will get a singular cubic curve with coefficients in Q(Sqrt[k]).

    How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?

    How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation? If you replace the equal sign of an equation with an inequality sign, is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and the inequality? Write an inequality and provide a value that may or may not be a solution to the inequality.How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?
    Solutions of inequalities are regions rather than points. The way you can check if a point is a solution to an inequality, simply plug in the values and see if the inequality holds.


    For example,


    To check if point (0, 0) is a solution to 3x + 4y %26lt; 5,


    Plug in x=0 and y=0,


    3(0) + 4(0) %26lt; 5


    0 %26lt; 5 Correct! Then (0, 0) is a solution to the inequality 3x + 4y %26lt; 5





    We use this method to shade the correct part of the x-y plane when there is a single inequality.





    If there is a set of more than one inequality, you should shade the regions that satisfy the inequalities and mark the region that satisfies all inequalities at a time.





    In terms of your last question,





    (0, 0) satisfies 3x + 4y = 0


    3(0) + 4(0) = 0 = 0 Correct!





    but it does not satisfy 3x + 4y %26lt; 0


    3(0) + 4(0) %26lt; 0


    0 %26lt; 0 Not Correct!

    How do insurance companies determine the value of a totaled car?

    Here is my situation. I wrecked my car a couple of days ago, and the man who came to tow it told me that he believes it is a total loss. I am freaking out because I looked at Kelly BB and saw two different prices for cars. The trade-in value was 5000, while the retail value was 8000. If I only get 5000, I will owe 2000 more on the car to pay it off. So I was wondering how insurance companies figure the value.How do insurance companies determine the value of a totaled car?
    total loss evaluations are done by guidelines set up by the state department of insurance. they can use several sources, nada, kelly, autosource ect. that will set the basic value range for the vehicle, then a condition report is done on your specific vehicle. if you have prior damage to your vehicle or excessive wear and tear , those damages are deducted from the book value to determine the actual cash value of your vehicle.How do insurance companies determine the value of a totaled car?
    GAP insurance is designed to cover the difference between what you owe and the car value. There are many people who are ';upside down'; in their car payments.





    You can't go by retail value, the car you bought depreciated at least 35% as soon as you drove it off the lot.
    Most companies will not use Kelley Blue Book. They go by what the same car is selling for in your area (KBB is generally a nationwide average).





    Whatever dollar amount you get back from your insurance company is negotiable. Start looking through your local auto trader, newspaper, etc. and find proof showing a higher dollar amount. The insurance company will have to factor that into their total.





    You may still owe some money, however. As soon as you drive off the lot (I'm assuming you bought a brand new car) the value of the car has dropped. You now owe more than the car is worth. This can be remedied by purchasing GAP insurance. This covers the gap between your loan and the car's value.





    Dealerships try to sell this to you and try to add it in on your loan. Don't fall for it. Get it yourself elsewhere. You'll save alot of money. They rip you off.





    I'm not sure what state you're in... I'm in California. Mercury (the company I'm with) offers GAP coverage with their insurance and it's usually only $5 or $10 for the entire policy (as opposed to the $500 the dealership wants to charge).

    How do you change the cell color associated will a cell value on an excel spreadsheet?

I would like a background color to be associated with it value. This would be to show severity. IE low is green, medium is yellow, high is red.How do you change the cell color associated will a cell value on an excel spreadsheet?
    use Conditional Formatting. I presume ';low';, ';medium';,';high'; is your source(value)





    step1. select your validation cell(s)


    step2. goto Format-%26gt; Conditional Formatting...


    step3. Condition 1 =%26gt; CellValue is [select] equal to [input] low

    you are ready to use your validation cell(s)


    select value from your drop down listHow do you change the cell color associated will a cell value on an excel spreadsheet?
    Under Format, Conditional Formatting, you can change the font and color based on the value in the cell
    I hope I understand your question correctly. When you are looking at the excel spreadsheet, in the toolbar at the top, look to the far right. You should see a paint can with a little color under it. Next to that you see a letter A that is red. The paint can is for background color. Just choose the cell you want to add the color to and hit that little paint can arrow beside it (again to the right - upsidedown triangle) and you can change the colors to reflect whatever you need.
    Highlight the cells you would like this to affect. Under the ';home'; tab, you will see styles click on ';conditional formatting';. Click on ';highlight cells rule';. Then click on ';text that contains';, there you will be able to type the text that you want, Then in the box next to it, you can choose what color or style you want. Repeat this for different cells and the different text or colors.

    How much does good landscaping increase the value of your home?

    I'm landscaping in my front and backyard using plants and flowers that are pretty much mowable and does not requires much maintance at all. Mostly groundcover to aid in less mowing time. How much will this increase the value of my home?How much does good landscaping increase the value of your home?
    Well Serena, it really depend on what you intend to do with it. I have a Courtyard you walk through when you walk to my front doors and there are lava rock beds on either side of you and then I built a beautiful pond in the shape of a butterfly, with lights under the water and larger rocks around the pool, and of course beautiful shrubs as we are so famous for our beauty here in New Orleans, La. The courtyard is also trimmed from above with lighting in the eves, and a long chain swing hangs beneath the front porch for added Southern Comfort. This has been estimated to increase my home by approx. $20,000.00.How much does good landscaping increase the value of your home?
    It will increase the value of your home exactly 2,112 dollars. That figure will change depending on about a million variables so good luck with that.
    You may have to do a bit more than that, but figure that landscaping will bring you back about 150% of what you pay for it. It is the only household improvement that more than pays for itself.
    It depends on how much you put into it. You are supposed to get a 85% return on landscaping your yard.





    Good Luck!
    It's hard to say by your description.





    Done well, it can add a LOT to your home. You'll recoop between 10% - 75% depending on the job and your location.





    A few things:





    1) Does it look good? Does it look professional? Less is often more for landscaping unless you hire a professional.





    2) Are you just putting it in to make it less maintenance? If this is so, I would rethink it. Sometimes plants that are 'mowable' tend to look like weeds. Sad by true.





    3) Less is more (it's back!) - let's say you want to sell it next year and invest $5K in flowers. It looks amazing and colorful. Let's say a buyer comes to your house and is interested but sees so many flowers. Even if it's NOT high maintenance, guess what they'll think? ';That's just too much for me to take care of. Let's move on.';
    Good for you! This simple activity will bring your home's value $5,000 to $10,000 dollars higher! It depends on the quality of your landscape. Good luck and have fun!
    ';Curb appeal'; is what really counts. But don't go overboard. Talk to a real estate agent and they will tell you exactly what will help sell a house.





    You don't want to over-do the back yard. If the new owners want gardens they will put them in themselves. Young families with children want a back yard where the children can run and play. Dads want to play ball.





    DO NOT PUT IN A SWIMMING POOL if you intend to sell your home. Most parents do not want pools.
    Very much when added to the value of it all, that's the first thing people look at.
    I agree with the previous posters. If your just putting ground covers in for less mowing time thats a bad idea. Maybe think about putting in low maintenance plants like hostas, daylilies and maybe some shrubs around the front of your houses foundation if you have nothing at all done? Landscaping adds alot of value to your house and its a good first impression of your home. I would definitely add more to the front versus the back. I am an avid gardener i will admit I am outside everyday the weather permits and have about 2000 plants in my front yard. I love gardening so I dont mind the maintenance. In my backyard I have about 30 rose bushes along the back of my houses foundation so not near as much ( yes people like more room in the backyard if they have a small one, I dont just havent got to do so much back there yet) When I moved in to my house there was absolutely nothing done to the front yard. Now I always have people commenting on how I transformed a plain house into the best one on my street and the only thing that has been changed is the landscaping. So try some color. Hostas and daylilies are extremely easy and require hardly any care.I think you'll be surprised at what a difference it will make. and if you really want the professional look some kind of retaining block is a must. no matter how much $ you put into your landscaping, im sure you will get it back if you ever sell.

  • How does an ocean front view add value to a home?

    Is it just eye candy or is there another reason why it increases value significantly? I've also noticed hotels take advantage of this and charge a lot more. Why?How does an ocean front view add value to a home?
    Do you not realize how beautiful it is to look out a big picture window and see dolphins jumping, waves, or just the beauty of an ocean sunset? If you live close enough to the beach, the sound of the ocean is calming for many.





    Duh!How does an ocean front view add value to a home?
    It is all based on supply and demand. If the demand is high, the developer pays high price for the land and the right to build on that location and buyer pays a high price for the home.





    Nobody is taking advantage of anyone. Even the person that sold the land to the developer didn't take advantage of anyone. He decided that what he owned was very valuable to himself until someone offered a price that he felt the land was worth.
    because you have an ocean front view, looks good, sun rise and sun set sorta thing. romantic, sex on beach that sorta thing. people take in to account this sort of thing when selling homes
    It's basically just eye candy. Many people value such a sight, because it's simply gorgeous. This is why hotels with ocean front views are more expensive, more for your money...
    would you rather have a road view or an ocean view? stupid as it sounds....ocean view can increase the value of a house, apartment etc
    People like ocean views and are willing to pay more for a house that has one.
    people like to see the ocean, all it is is eye candy.


    jesus.
    i dont think too many people would like a back alley or garbage dump view
    just cuz it looks nice

    How do you have security without facts to base your value?

    I don't understand the concept of self assuredness, especially when it comes to dating. If you don't have any proof of your value, then how are you supposed to be secure? It's like a job hunt ... I would not put my resume in at CNN just because I worked on the high school newspaper.





    It's more difficult to figure out the tangible value you offer to potential partners and where to apply, per se. Any advice?How do you have security without facts to base your value?
    Your laboring under a misconception.





    Your assuming that self assuredness is something tangible, like the computer monitor sitting in front of you. Sure, you can see it, touch it, therefor, it must be real.





    Self assuredness is more like a religion. It exists simply because someone believes in it.





    So, is it worth believing in? Look at it this way. You probably know someone who thinks very little of himself. And because he thinks so poorly of himself, he really isn't very fun to be around. Now, look at the guy who has a high self opinion. I'm not talking about the self absorbed one, but the one who knows he has worth but doesn't brag about it.





    See the difference?





    And as far as dating with it goes, there isn't a single emotionally stable female or male on the planet who is turned on by a guy or girl with low self-esteem. Yeah, self assuredness may be intangible, but your partner damn sure can see it.





    So, you tell me, is believing in yourself worth your time to master, ...?How do you have security without facts to base your value?
    You should not let others determine your value for you.

    How do you determine a franchise's value?


    Do you use today's value or the value in 2 yrs?





    My concern is that my contribution will make it more valuable and thus cost me more when I have the option to buy in.





    Any other suggestions along this line would be great.





    Thanks.How do you determine the value of a franchise/small business?
    I'm not sure how to determine the value if there are intangible assets, or how much of projected future sales you can count towards a valuation. But how about if you get the current value, and project a reasonable amount of growth forward for 2 years. Then agree to purchase a share based on either that projected valuation, or the actual valuation in 2 years, whichever is less?





    That gives you a chance to buy in at a price that has a ceiling on it.How do you determine the value of a franchise/small business?
    From an accounting stand point you need to calculate the companies free cash flow, that is the best determination of value.

    How can I assess the real value of a stock, for buy and hold investing?

    I am a beginner and would like to get started in building a portfolio of stocks for long term holding. I have been looking at using America's Finest Companies strategy, and would like some tips on how to assess if the current stock price is good value.How can I assess the real value of a stock, for buy and hold investing?
    ';Good value'; is a relative term when it comes to stocks, because stock prices rise and fall with the economy. You just have to expect that you will lose some of your money sooner or later. If you can handle that kind of risk, then the next thing you might want to consider is the history of the company that you want to buy into. Is this company ethical? Does it make a profit only seasonally? Is it a green company? What is the history of the CEOs and management practices? What happens when scandal hits or profit margins fall?


    And you might want to ask yourself: what is your acceptable risk - high, medium or low? How much are you willing to invest and possibly never see again?


    Of course, what you do is all up to you, but research, research, research is by far the best way to go in my opinion. Good luck!

  • How to calculate Intrisic Value of a company? What is the difference between Intrinsic Value and Book Value?

    Please elaborate on how to calculate intrinsic value of company.


    Kindly give some Indian perspective.How to calculate Intrisic Value of a company? What is the difference between Intrinsic Value and Book Value?
    In simple terms, book value is based on the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities - it attempts to measure the net assets a company has built up until the present time. In theory, this is the amount that the shareholders would receive if the company were to be completely liquidated. For example, if a company has Rs 23.2 billion in assets and Rs19.3 billion in liabilities, the book value of the company would be the difference of Rs 3.9 billion (book value). To express this number in terms of book value per share, simply take the book value and divide it by the number of outstanding shares. If a given company is currently trading below its book value, it is often considered to be undervalued.





    There are, however, several problems that arise with the use of book value as a measure of value. For example, it would be unlikely that the value the company would receive in liquidation would be equal to the book value per share. Nevertheless, it can still be used as a useful benchmark to estimate how much a profitable company's stock might drop if the market turns sour on it.





    Intrinsic value is a measure of value based on the future earnings a company is expected to generate for its investors - it attempts to measure the total net assets a company is expected to build in the future. It is considered the true value of the company from an investment standpoint and is calculated by taking the present value of the earnings (attributable to investors) that a company is expected to generate in the future, along with the future sale value of the company. The idea behind this measure is that the purchase of a stock entitles the owner to his or her share of the company's future earnings. If all of the future earnings are accurately known along with the final sale price, the company's true value can be calculated.





    For example, if we assume that a company will be around for one year and generate Rs 1,000 before being sold for Rs 10,000, we can find the intrinsic value of the company. At the end of the year we will have received Rs 11,000. If our required rate of return is 10%, then the present value today of the future earnings and sale price is Rs 10,000. If we were to pay more than Rs 10,000 for the company, our required rate of return would not be met.

    How to write down the initial value problem for the filtering process?

    Your swimming pool containing 60,000 gal of water has been contaminated by 5 kg of a nontoxic dye that leaves a swimmer's skin an unattractive green. The pool's filtering system can take water from the pool, remove the dye, and return the water to the pool at a flow rate of 200gal/min. Write down the initial value problem for the filtering process; let q(t) be the amount of dye in the pool at any time t.How to write down the initial value problem for the filtering process?
    The differential equation is conceptually





    dq/dt = (rate of q in) - (rate of q out)





    The rate of q in is zero, because the filtering removes all the dye.





    The rate of q out is equal to the concentration (kg/gal) times the flow rate (gal/min). At time t there are q kg of dye in 60000 gallons of pool water, so the concentration is q/60000 kg/gal. The flow rate is given as 200 gal/min, so the rate of q out is (q/60000)(200) = q/300 kg/min.





    So the ODE is





    dq/dt = -q/300





    with initial condition q(0) = 5

    the best bet is to take them to a dealer in bronze statues, or the Museum, or contact an association of bronze collectors in your state,





    Before you let any one handle them take pictures of statues showing front back and numbers, and do a stat beck/ statutory declaration and get some one to counter sign it. if not sure what it is





    Statutory declarations


    http://www.ag.gov.au/statdec





    this ensures that you have proof of ownership.





    preferably a digital date stamped prints.





    if they are of value/ best to sell at a specialized auction, to get good percentage of true value, minus auctioneers fee.

    How much value is added to a vehicle if it is a one owner?

    I am looking to buy a used vehicle, and I've read that a one owner can have a higher value. What would be a reasonable range of how much value this would add to a vehicle?How much value is added to a vehicle if it is a one owner?
    Amy, we've negotiated literally hundreds of deals, always taking into account the number of owners. Here's our thinking:


    1) As a disclaimer: not all owners are created equally. One bad owner is much worse than two good ones.


    2) # of owners per year is more meaningful than # of owners. In other words, 3 owners is reasonable on a 2000 model.


    3) Dealers do not use # of owners yet in pricing their vehicles. It hasn't affected the prices we've been able to negotiate.


    4) To assess the damage past owners have done, you really need an inspection.





    I hope these points help. Ultimately, it shouldn't cost you any more. How much more you should value it really depends on the owners and age of the car.How much value is added to a vehicle if it is a one owner?
    I agree with everyone. I don't think it adds to the value of the car. A one owner car may be better maintained then a 5 owner car as the one owner may have taken better care of it so that it would last. A car with multiple owners probably was neglected by one of those owners.
    None, really. Only might apply if you are buying a classic car or a collectible car. For modern cars, it means nothing.





    It is worth paying a little more for a car in great condition, but ';one owner'; cars can be trashed just as easily as several owner cars.





    Market price is market price. The market does not care who owned a certain car.
    Depends usually on the age of the vehicle, but it is usually a dealer scam to get you to pay more for nothing.
    $0 as far as I'm concerned.





    1 owner or 5, as long as the car is in good condition, who cares.
    Depends on how it was maintained.





    Little to a lot. But, mostly because of CONDITION, not one-owner status.

    How do you find the P-value for the indicated hypothesis test?

    An airline claims that the no-show rate for passengers booked on its flights is less than 6%. Of 380 randomly selected reservations, 18 were no-shows. Find the P-value for a test of the airline's claim.





    I am not worried so much about the answer as to HOW to get the answer.How do you find the P-value for the indicated hypothesis test?
    Let P be the proportion of no-show rate for passengers booked on its flights.





    Ho: P =0.06


    Ha: P %26lt; 0.06





    Estimated p = 18 / 380 = 0.0474


    Variance of proportion = p*(1-p)/n


    = 0.06(0.94)/380 =0.0001484


    S.D. of p is sqrt[0.000148] = 0.0122


    Z = ( 0.0474 - 0.06 ) / 0.0122 = -1.0368





    From Normal probability table , P( z %26lt; -1.0368) = 0.1492


    p-value = 0.1492

    How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?

    How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?


    How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation? If you replace the


    equal sign of an equation with an inequality sign, is there ever a time when the same value will be


    a solution to both the equation and the inequality? Write an inequality and provide a value that


    may or may not be a solution to the inequality.How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality?
    HI,


    suppose tthe inequality is x %26gt; 2, and thus its equation is x = 2


    therefore for such inequality values the solution is anything above 2 i.e. 2.1, 2.2, 3, 6 , 99 etc but for the equation there is only one solution and that is 2. and in this case the solutions are different.


    No there can never be a time when the solution of inequality has the same value of that of the equation. this is because, equations generally have one or two or theree or atleast finite solutions but inequalities have infinite solutions.


    Now again for the inequality x%26gt;2, 2 is not its solution but 2.2 is. Hope to answer you well. keep smiling. bye.

    Maria,





    A ratio will tell how one number is related to another number.





    A ratio may be written as A:B or A/B or by the phrase ';A to B';, where A = numerator and B = denominator.





    Sample:





    3 dogs to 2 kids can be written:





    3:2 or 3/2 or 3 to 2.





    Your question:





    one plastic to another can be written this way:





    .003cm: .004cm or this way:





    .003cm/.004cm





    or this way:





    .003cm to .004cm





    You need to divide the numerator by the denominator.





    .003cm = numerator





    .004cm = denominator





    Can you take it from here?

    My guess is that there would be very little increase in value. Without an engine, it would be worthless. With an engine, book value.
    No, won't change much but when you sell it outright you could charge a little more for it because of that,
    i wouldnt think it would increase the value at all. i would be less likely to buy a vehicle that had an engine swapped out at 90,000 miles because that is a sign that the vehicle was not taken care of properly or it was abused.

    Things are only worth what someone will pay for them. You may find a book, a website or a dealer who will tell you, ';This card is worth $100'; - but if no one will actually pay that much for it, then it's really not worth $100. The best way to get an accurate idea of how much your cards are worth is to look at a site like Ebay and see what similar items are actually selling for. Not what someone is asking for them, but what people have paid for the sold items.
    you could take them to an antique dealer or a place that sells sports


    cards. a web site might give you a rough estimate but to be more

    How would you determine the Ka value for an unknown weak acid just knowing two things?

    How would you determine the Ka value for an unknown weak acid just knowing the following things:


    Volume of base needed to reach the equivalence point is 25.0 mL


    pH of the titration solution after 12.5 mL of base has been added=4.74How would you determine the Ka value for an unknown weak acid just knowing two things?
    At the equivalence point, the amount of titrant added equals the amount of analyte present. 12.5 mL is half way to the equivalence point. So after 12.5 mL of titrant have been added, half of the weak acid present has been converted to the conjugate base and so the amount of acid *equals* the amount of conjugate base. We can then use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to determine the Ka





    pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])





    The 2nd term on the right equals zero because the argument of the logarithm is 1 (the 2 concentrations are equal. Now we use the definition of pKa to get our answer





    pH = -log(Ka)





    Ka = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-4.74) = 1.8 * 10^-5

    How do I place a dollar value to my time spent on an activity?

    When running a business, how does an individual value his or her time in order to evaluate whether certain activities are valuable? Granted there is no cookie cutter methodology to this, but what are some general methods to approach this issue?How do I place a dollar value to my time spent on an activity?
    I think it would be easy ... charge what people are willing to pay. If you get more business than you can keep up with, than you're not charging enough. If you are begging for customers maybe you need to lower prices. If you're just starting out you start out low so people will try you out. And as you get better and people begin to like your services you raise the prices a little so you can actually make some profit.How do I place a dollar value to my time spent on an activity?
    It depends on what type of business you are doing.


    My advice would be to be more detailed about what type of business your are doing then you might get some good answers.


    In the mean time I would suggest you check out what it costs to have what ever it is done at what ever business you are choosing to go into.......go check out those price lists that will at least put you on the right track.
    I'm really not sure what you are asking, but are you talking sales strategies, manufacturing processes, administrative tasks or what?





    Anything that has no possibility of creating a return is considered ';overhead'; and you want to keep that to a minimum. In other words the least man hours and associated costs. Wasted square footage you are paying for, drive time, utility costs, etc.--everything needs to be examined to see if you are doing it as efficiently as possible. If you are the business owner, and are willing to do tasks as part of your normal day that you would otherwise have to pay a person to delegate them to, and you have the time to complete them without distracting you from your priorities, it's ok to cut costs by pitching in. But if you find yourself doing menial tasks at the expense of making sales calls and being more productive (and bringing in more revenue), then by all means get a lower paid staff member to do tasks that you can delegate.





    If you are talking about whether or not a particular conference, retail location, advertisement, or other sales/marketing strategy is working, you need to try and measure the return you are getting vs. what it is costing you to apply that strategy. If you've done it several times and aren't getting results, it's time to stop doing that and try something different. Also, if your business is in any way seasonal, examine your strategies to see if you are looking in the right spots to catch market trends that may change--put the unprofitable approach aside, but consider coming back to it at a more opportune time of the year.





    Your time as in individual is your monthly salary divided by how many hours per month that activity is taking you + any other associated expenses - any income generated. If you are new in the business and not taking a salary yet, then just use the expense vs income figures as best you can, but realize that your time can't be worth nothing forever.

    I've owned my home for about 4 yrs and bought it with a new furnace/central air and new roof. I have since replaced all the windows, redone my kitchen, painted, added on a deck and put in new flooring (hard wood) in 3 different rooms. Anything else I can do to add value? What do you think all of those improvements are worth?How can I bring up the value in my home?
    kitchen, bathrooms and wood floors - those are the things buyers look first. you did a lot witch your house already , if your neighbor's house(which look similar to yours) is worth $200,000 and after your ';improvements'; your house will not be worth$300,000


    try to check www.zillow.com for home evaluation- just for your info how much your house is worth and for how much houses in your area were sold.How can I bring up the value in my home?
    try getting a pool in the backyard (**with jacuzzi**), add more rooms and closet space. a fire place is always nice as well.
    How's the bathroom?





    You may have upgraded to the tune of at least $100K
    Build a in ground Pool!


    it can raise the value quite alot!
    DO YOU HAVE A BASMENT...SOMETIMES FINISHING AN UNFINISHED BASEMENT CAN ADD A LOT ON TO THE VALUE OF A HOME.......SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY RAISED YOUR VALUE BY WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
    read tips and articles on real estate and more on this site
    What you've done has definitely increased the value of your home. How much is very dependent on your area. I suggest having an appraisal done. That is really the only way to tell. In some areas, spending $10K on improvements might increase the value by $20K and in other areas, it might increase it by $5K. Get an appraisal! Good job on the kitchen redo. Kitchen remodels will give you the greatest return on your investment.
    Kitchen %26amp; bathroom are the 2 things other than increasing the square footage that will add value.





    Paint %26amp; floorcoverings will make a house show better, but will not add value.





    What are they worth? Did you install top of the line stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops or average appliances and laminate countertops? Triple pane argon windows or cheap vinyl replacement windows? You did not give enough info for anyone to answer that part of your question.





    What else can you do to add value? Do you have gutters? Nice landscaping? Irrigation system? Security system? Double wide driveway? Most of those things will not increase the value so much as the curb appeal.

    Calorie King contains a lot of nutritional info on many of the foods we cook with daily. You don't have to ';join the club,'; just click on the link ';BROWSE FOODS'; underneath the search field. It's helped me a lot!

    In most cases, the nutritional value of the components individually and add them up will work. In baking, that's not so simple, and possibly not in other foods when going from raw to cooked. I'm sure there's a web site to tell you, but I'll tell you how I have done it from before there were web sites.





    Get a copy of a diet cookbook which lists food values. Find the recipe that most resembles your own, and work from there. If you are like me, the only differences will be spices or other very minor ingredient changes, or perhaps variables like substituting one fruit for another in pies. The differences will usually be ones that don't matter. For me, the only difference is likely to be spices, which are in negligible quantities.





    P.S. Such books are almost always plentiful in used book stores, perhaps for sad reasons. Don't spend a lot of money on the cookbook.
    Try The FDA Or Foodnetwork.com Or You Could Try To Determine The Nutritional Value Of Each Of Your Ingredients, It Might Take Some Math Tho.
    Yes. The USDA puts out the ';gold standard'; of nutritional values for foods. It may be far more info that you want/need, however, as it includes all sorts of obscure vitamins and minerals.





    Just Google ';Nutritional values for foods'; and you should get plenty of sites.





    Then just look up values for whatever is called for in your recipe, like ';6 oz. chicken meat, no skin, baked'; or ';陆 cup salsa'; or ';1 medium onion, chopped'; and so on. Don't forget salt, too, for sodium content. If the table gives you a measure in Tbsp. and you are using tsp. you will need to divide by 3, and so on.
    Go to a doctor, give him/her the recipe, they will tell you.
    www.fitday.com and www.slimfast.com both have pretty large databases containing nutrition info for various foods
    When making your own recipe, you will need to calculate the nutritional value of each ingredient.





    Here's one website, but you may need to delve deeper:

    How do you calculate simple present value using a financial calculator?

    I already know the formula for calculating PV. What I want to know is how you would use a financial calculator to solve a question such as...





    What is the present value of $250 to be paid in 2 years if the interest rate is 15%?





    I know the answer is $189.04. What I don't know is how to come up with this answer using my calculator instead of solving the formula by hand. Please tell me how to plug this in.How do you calculate simple present value using a financial calculator?
    The formula is PV = FV / (1+ r)^n





    That's Present Value (PV) = Future Value (FV) divided by 1 plus the interest rate (i) to the power of n, where n equals the number of periods





    So on a regular calculator:





    Divide $250 by 1.15 squared.





    So first find the square of 1.15





    1.15 X 1.15 = 1.3225





    Then divide $250 by 1.3225 to get the answer





    $250 / 1.3225 = $189.04





    On a financial calculator (like the HP12C that I use), with present value functions on it, you enter:





    $250 as the FV (Future Value)


    15% as i (interest)


    2 as N (number of periods)





    Then calculate for the PV (Present Value)





    The answer comes back as a negative $189.04. It's negative, as that is what you have to pay today, for a return of $250 in two years given an interest rate of 15%.

    Where can I get information on value of Rockwell collector plates?

    I want to sell some Norman Rockwell collector plates, how do I find the value of each?, or sets?Where can I get information on value of Rockwell collector plates?
    the most comprehensive listing of collector plates is the bradford exchange. you could also check your local library or bookstore for a current issue of collectible books, however unless your plates are mint with original boxes the value is minimal. if you did not save the boxes for them you have cut the value in half already. sadly most plates are totally valueless at this time, as the market has pretty well dried up. you will find even auction houses are lucky to get $5 for a plate on todays market. a recent auction had a series of 8 norman rockwell plates, in original boxes and the whole set sold for 30.00. i would suggest hanging on to them in hopes the market will improve.Where can I get information on value of Rockwell collector plates?
    you could check ebay and see what they are selling for. That would give you a approximate idea of value
