With respect to the second requirement, acts of racketeering activity are “related” if the acts had the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims or methods of commission, or were otherwise interrelated by distinguishing characteristics. Acts of racketeering activity are not related if they are disconnected, sporadic, or widely separated and isolated acts. As to the third requirement, the government must prove that the racketeering acts themselves amounted to continuing racketeering activity or that the acts otherwise posed a threat of continuing racketeering activity. Continuing racketeering activity may be proved by evidence showing a closed period of repeated racketeering activity; that is, by evidence of a series of related racketeering acts committed over a substantial period of time. [Acts of racketeering activity committed over only a few weeks or months and which do not threaten future criminal conduct do not satisfy this requirement.] Continuing racketeering activity or a threat

Net income = $755,000 So, the earnings per share were: EPS = Net income / Shares outstanding EPS = $755,000 / 570,000 EPS = $1.32 per The dividends per share were: Dividends per share = Total dividends / Shares outstanding Dividends per share = $130,000 / 570,000 Dividends per share = $0.23 per share The book value per share was: Book value per share = Total equity / Shares outstanding Book value per share = $7,200,000 / 570,000 Book value per share = $12.63 per share The market-to-book ratio is: Market-to-book ratio = Share price / Book value per share Market-to-book ratio = $29 / $12.63 Market-to-book = 2.30 times The P/E is: P/E ratio = Share price / EPS P/E ratio = $29 / $1.32 P/E ratio = 21.89 times Sales per share are: Sales per share = Total sales / Shares outstanding Sales per share = $10,500,000 / 570,000 Sales per share = $18.42 The P/S ratio is: P/S ratio = Share price / Sales per share P/S ratio = $29 / $18.42 P/S = 1.57 times 7. With the information given, we must use the Du Pont identity to calculate return on equity. Doing so, we find: ROE = (Profit margin)(Total asset turnover)(Equity multiplier) ROE = (.07)(1.64)(1.35) ROE = 0.1550 or 15.50%

Year 5 cash flow = $192,000(1.04) = $199,680 So, the NPV of the project is: NPV = –$575,000 + $213,200/1.102 + $153,920/1.103 + $221,520/1.104 + $199,680/1.105 NPV = –$7,872.57 And the IRR of the project is: 0 = –$575,000 + $213,200/(1 + IRR)2 – $153,920/(1 + IRR)3 + $221,520/(1 + IRR)4 + $199,680/(1 + IRR)5 Using a spreadsheet, financial calculator, or trial and error to find the root of the equation, we find that: IRR = 9.55% While this may look like a MIRR calculation, it is not an MIRR, rather it is a standard IRR calculation. Since the cash inflows are blocked by the government, they are not available to the company for a period of one year. Thus, all we are doing is calculating the IRR based on when the cash flows actually occur for the company. Calculator Solutions 5.

Purchases of equipment will remain a departmental responsibility subject to statutory and administrative rules and restrictions. Equipment lists for capital outlay projects will still be required for capital outlay projects in accordance with pertinent sections of the State Administrative Manual. Departments are specifically charged with the responsibility for the analysis of equipment requirements to supplement the approved legislative program and approval of the models and types of equipment which can most sufficiently support the project or program. Subsidiary effects such as changes in staffing requirements, operating expense, supplies, and space should be evaluated with respect to each choice. The amount budgeted for equipment in the approved fiscal year program may not be augmented except with the approval of the Budget Revision, STD. , by the Department of Finance. Purchase estimates for automotive equipment will be submitted directly to the Office of Fleet Administration, Department of General Services, for approval. Estimates approved by the Office of Fleet Administration will be routed to the Office of Procurement, Department of General Services. Estimates requiring changes or deletions and disapproved estimates will be routed to the originating department. A certification will be required of the agency for any equipment purchase estimate exempted under the above instructions as follows: "This purchase estimate does not require approval by the budget staff, Department of Finance, under the provisions of SAM Section 3558.1. Signed _________________ , Accounting Officer (or other authorized representative)." OTHER PURCHASE ESTIMATES 4/76) 3558.2 Purchase estimates and requisitions for items other than equipment (See SAM Section 3558.1) will be submitted to the Sacramento or Los Angeles office of the Office of Procurement, Department of General Services (see SAM Section 3558.3 for offices serving various areas), unless it is: Dependent upon approval of a budget revision or a transfer of budget allotment, or For an item or class of item specifically restricted. In either of the above circumstances, the estimate or requisition will be submitted to the budget staff, Department of Finance, through agency channels.
CONCEALED DAMAGE OR LOSS 3868 (Revised 02/93) There are often disputes about who is responsible for concealed damage or loss of shipments. However, this type of claim is just as valid as any other type. If part of the shipment is missing, you must prove that the missing goods were actually shipped and then were not delivered. If goods were damaged, you must establish that the goods were properly packed in their containers, yet were damaged when they were delivered. Without this proof, carriers may refuse settlement. If you discover shortage or damage after delivery, report it promptly to the carrier and request an inspection. Do not complete the unpacking. Hold all packing materials and merchandise as discovered pending inspection. You only have 15 days after delivery of the shipment to report any concealed damage. If you do not report within this 15-day period, the carrier may decline the claim. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED IN SUPPORT OF CLAIMS 3869 (Revised 03/07) If you are filing a for loss or damage against a carrier, attach the following documents to the claim. If DGS Transportation Management Unit is filing the claim (claims of $100 or over), send the documents to them. If a vendor is filing the claim against the carrier, send the documents to the vendor. 1. Original bill of lading. 2. Copy of the carrier's freight bill or delivery receipt bearing notation of shortage or damage. 3. Original or certified copy of the purchase or repair invoice. 4. Carrier's inspection report (when issued). 5. Bond of indemnity (available from carriers) in of the original paid freight bill. 6. Statement of additional or conditions when required to sustain reported loss or damage. SPLIT PICKUP AND SPLIT DELIVERY SHIPMENTS 3870 (Revised 03/07) Sometimes you can get lower freight costs by consolidating small lots into split delivery or split pickup shipments. Take advantage of these freight savings whenever possible. See SAM Section 3801 for the PUC definitions of split pickups and deliveries.

throughout why a British World could conceptually materialise across strong networks of people and ideology, but why wider imperial federation and citizenship remained elusive. Creating an ‘Asian’ menace In the nineteenth century, about 50 million Europeans, 50 million Chinese and 30 million Indians migrated globally. Adam McKeown has calculated that, of these, almost 750,000 Chinese and 1.5 million Indians were formally indentured to European employers for use in their colonies. Indentured labourers, or ‘coolies’, were first used in the Dutch East Indies in the 1600s. In the British colonies, it was only following the 1833 abolition of slavery that plantation owners’ looked to Asia’s sizeable and impoverished populations there. By as shipping became more organised, cheaper and speedier, indentured labour was also adopted in places without a history of slavery. Small numbers of Pacific islanders and Chinese were imported into New South Wales between 1848 and 1852, to replace convict labour and assist the European wool industry. Natal too began an Indian indenture scheme in the 1860s as one of their first acts as a self-governing colony. This labour assisted colonial businesses so European settlers initially accepted it as a commodity necessary for economic success when the climate allegedly did not allow for ‘whites’ to do physical labour or in places which were sparsely populated. While most of this indentured labour was at first uncontroversial, ‘free’ Asian migration (especially Chinese) to the self-governing colonies increased dramatically from about mid-century. ‘Free’ is a slight misnomer; but essentially meant they operated their own loan systems to organise and control migration, outside the direct control of Europeans. Indentured labourers too could become ‘free’ once their period of service had ended, and increasing numbers chose to do so. Likewise, ‘free’ migrants tended to follow their indentured fellow nationals, regularly working as traders or artisans either servicing ‘coolie’
