pre-merger plan offerings of BP America and Amoco The Defined Contribution Plans offered at Amoco has an index-oriented‚ passive management nature. The plans‚ known as Core investment options‚ feature funds closely matched to S&P 500 and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The advantage that Core investment option has is low management fees‚ which is 10% and even lower than that of publicly traded index mutual funds. Another feature of the Amoco DC plan is heavy investment in the company stock. In December

populations present in an ecosystem. In an ecological survey designed to measure species diversity‚ a wildlife biologist might determine the number of individuals of each species present in an area‚ then calculate a "diversity index" for the area. Comparison of the diversity index with that of other areas provides insights into the species diversity and the health of the ecosystem. In this activity your "ecosystem" will be the school parking lot or a natural area on a field trip‚ and the "species"

power. • That is exactly the job of a statistic called the consumer price index (CPI). • The CPI is used to monitor changes in the cost of living over time. When the CPI rises‚ the typical family has to spend more to maintain the same standard of living. • Inflation describes a situation in which the economy’s overall price level is rising. Economists measure the inflation rate by the consumer price index THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX • The CPI is a measure of the overall cost of the goods and services

Aim: The aim of this investigation is to prove determine the relative refractive index of perspects. Hypothesis: Sin i / Sin r will produce a constant ratio – the refractive index for perspects Variables: Independent Variable: Sine of the angle of incidence (Sin
