Graphical Information in Annual Reports: A Literature Review Abstract The use of graphs in disclosing financial information in corporate annual reports represents a significant dimension of management’s disclosure strategy. This paper reviews previous research into financial graphs since the 1970s. The most commonly graphed financial variables are sales‚ profit‚ EPS and shareholders’ fund. Research evidence shows that graph use is contingent upon favourable performance. Prior studies also

technology generated by a production function f(x) = x2 . The production set is Y = {(y‚ −x) : y ≤ x2 } which is certainly not convex‚ but the input re√ quirement set is V (y) = {x : x ≥ y} which is a convex set. 1.2 It doesn’t change. 1.3 1 = a and 2 = b. 1.4 Let y(t) = f(tx). Then dy = dt so that 1 dy 1 = y dt f(x) 1.5 Substitute txi for i = 1‚ 2 to get f(tx1 ‚ tx2 ) = [(tx1 )ρ + (tx2 )ρ ] ρ = t[xρ + xρ ] ρ = tf(x1 ‚ x2 ). 1 2 This implies that the CES function exhibits constant returns to

Real World Quadratic Functions Maximum profit. A chain store manager has been told by the main office that daily profit‚ P‚ is related to the number of clerks working that day‚ x‚ according to the function P = −25x2 + 300x. What number of clerks will maximize the profit‚ and what is the maximum possible profit? In order to find the point at which profit is maximized‚ I must find the critical points of the first derivative of the equation. Coefficient of x^2 is negative‚ so

Using Polynomials in the “Real World” Polynomial functions are used in our everyday lives in a few different ways‚ this includes art‚ architecture‚ construction‚ financial planning‚ and manufacturing. We can also calculate how long it will take one person to do a job alone when we know how long it takes a group to get it done as well. Farmers on crop farms work dawn to dusk through the growing season to produce the grains‚ fruits‚ and vegetables that feed the country. These equations help them
