Judul: Added Value and Profitability of Cassava Processing Business (Case Study: Pak Bendot's Cassava Processing Business, Pekanbaru City)
Abstrak: Cassava is an agricultural product that can be processed into various foods. Cassava in Indonesia is available almost all year round and the price is cheap. This has caused many entrepreneurs, especially Micro and Small Enterprises (UMK) interested to open a food business with cassava as raw material. Pak Bendot's Cassava Processing Business is an example of a micro small business in Pekanbaru, Riau, which processes fresh cassava into dodol and balado chips. This business will be developed by the local government into icon of Pekanbaru. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the added value and profitability of the cassava processing business with Pak Bendot's Cassava Processing Business as the case. Hayami Method showed that the added value ratio of cassava processed into balado chips was higher than the dodol. Profitability analysis using break even point, MOS, and MIR shows that this business is profitable. This business operates above the break-even point with the profitability of processing dodol 42.86% and balado chips 68.12%. This business is sensitive to the increase in the price of its main costs. The increase of business until 100% shows that this business is still profitable., Ubi kayu merupakan produk pertanian yang dapat diolah menjadi aneka makanan. Ubi kayu di Indonesia tersedia hampir sepanjang tahun dan harganya relatif murah.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
