Budget affordability

The objective of any exploration venture is to find new volumes of hydrocarbons at a low cost and in a short period of time. Exploration budgets are in direct competition with acquisition opportunities. If a company spends more money finding oil than it would have had to spend buying the equivalent amount in the market place there is little Incentive to continue exploration. Conversely, a company which manages to find new reserves at low cost has a significant competitive edge since it can afford more exploration, find and develop reservoirs more profitably, and can target and develop smaller prospects. 

Hpp describes the primary system by a quantum-chemical method. The choice is dictated by the system size and the purpose of the calculation. Two approaches of using a finite computer budget are found If an expensive ab-initio or density functional method is used the number of configurations that can be afforded is limited. Hence, the computationally intensive Hamiltonians are mostly used in geometry optimization (molecular mechanics) problems (see, e. g., [66]). The second approach is to use cheaper and less accurate semi-empirical methods. This is the only choice when many conformations are to be evaluated, i. e., when molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo calculations with meaningful statistical sampling are to be performed. The drawback of semi-empirical methods is that they may be inaccurate to the extent that they produce qualitatively incorrect results, so that their applicability to a given problem has to be established first [67]. 

Table 9.10 shows the distribution of U.S. household incomes, which limits what each household can afford to buy. Let us consider baby diapers. A mother has a number of options to consider cloth diapers delivered to the home and retrieved after use, cloth diapers that are home laundered, disposable paper diapers for the garbage can after use, and the rural poor may let the babies run around with bare bottoms. The poor families buy less goods, and need to concentrate purchases on housing and basic food, such as bread and potatoes. The expenditure of 456 for disposal diapers in a budget of 75,000 is 0.6%, which is not a serious problem but for families with less than 10,000 income per year, this sum becomes 4.5%, which represents a much bigger burden, and less expensive and affordable options would be chosen. 

The less money available for health care the more important is the role of clinical pharmacology. In hospitals providing specialised services, where constraints on the availability and affordability of complex medicines are often acutely felt, clinical pharmacology makes it possible to reduce substantially the drug budget. 

Typically, the first full-scale events are demonstrations. Some scale-up studies may be performed at full scale just before the formal demonstrations are initiated, however. This would be true in those cases in which the results of the development-ranging studies do not provide sufficient confidence or assurance. In addition to providing assurance that the process can be duplicated at full scale, demonstrations provide a platform for operator training, SOP development, laboratory method fine-tuning, equipment cleaning, and most important, site experience with the demonstrated process. It should be noted that most companies are constrained by a budget for product development, which means that they cannot afford doing a battery of demonstrations. 

Is it affordable To answer this question, the organization s strategic plan and capital budget should be consulted. 

Before you buy anything, you will want to consult with your banker to determine your financial constraints how much down payment can you afford and what is the largest monthly payment that will fit into your budget Then talk to a commercial real estate broker or lawyer to determine what is available and what fits your finances. You should also make a list of the features you want to see in the property. You will be able to review the books and records of the business to track its financial history, a good prediction of your chances for success. 

Many people want to lease because they can drive a more upmarket car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if your monthly budget allowed you to spend 300 on a car, you might be able to lease a brand new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy an Explorer that was two or three years old with 50,000 miles, or buy a new but considerably less expensive make and model. A lease, therefore, allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. But when your lease is over, you will have to return that Explorer. Whatever car you can afford to buy, you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in value if you want to later upgrade to a newer car. 

The equipment needed is much simpler, so the overall cost of leaching is much lower. This can be of interest to routine laboratories with a limited budget, unable to afford a supercritical fluid extractor. 

CMS requires a budget of 325.4 billion to provide these and other services. Among CMS other responsibilities is administration of the Children s Health Insurance Program. The Children s Health Insurance Program provides reduced or no-cost health coverage for more than 2 million children under the age of 19 whose families earn too much to be eligible for Medicaid but do not earn enough to afford private insurance. 

Regulatory Impact Analyses so prepared are required to be reviewed by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, subject to the direction of the Presidential Task Force on Regulatory Relief. Thus, Executive Order 12291 affords two regulatory review levels, one by 0MB and potentially one by the Task Force. The 0MB, as an agency of the Executive Office of the President, is in a position to ensure that both the letter and the spirit of Executive Order 12291 are followed in RIAs produced by the several agencies. 

These two questions are partly interdependent and are also dependent upon the methods chosen for measuring cortisol and other adrenocortical steroids outside the class of sex hormones and their metabolites. Thus, each clinical chemist will want to reach an optimal strategy based on the size and budget of his laboratory and on many other local factors. It is sometimes valuable to use a good commercial service laboratory for certain types of measurement whose inclusion in the routine armamentarium of the laboratory would prevent the introduction of other more desirable types of measurement. In any event he will wish to minimize the number of different basic techniques and types of equipment to be used unless he can afford to allocate a very sizable number of staff to steroid work.
