How can a manager evaluate the productivity of a bank branch, a hospital, or other service organization? A bank branch may have outstanding profit performance based on a measure of the revenues earned on funds less the costs of funds generated, and less the operating costs. This measure does not, however. Indicate whether the branch Is using Its resources efficiently or whether It could reduce ...

In this paper we address the development of an MINLP optimization model for the synthesis of paraxylene separation processes based on crystallization technology. A superstructure is proposed that considers different alternative designs and operating conditions for the recovery of a high purity paraxylene product from a feed stream containing other xylene isomers and ethylbenzene. The goal is to...

A successful cogeneration system design project needs an estimation of the economical parameters of the project, including capital investment, costs of fuel, expenses in maintenance and operating, and the proper cost for the products. This study describes the economic consideration of the benchmark cogeneration systems, called CGAM system located in the United States. To evaluate the profitabil...

Economic theory suggests that firms can gain competitive advantage, thereby impeding the normalization of risk-adjusted returns relative to industry peers. Thus, these advantages directly impact a firm’s future profitability as well as the assumptions incorporated into forecasting and valuation models. This paper utilizes realized operating performance, adjusted by estimates of operational risk...

and an anonymous referee for helpful comments and suggestions. Abstract This paper investigates how firms determine the capital structure of a subsidiary that is divested in a spin-off. In a spin-off, the parent divides the assets of the firm and chooses the capital structure for the new, stand-alone entity. Unlike the firms in other capital structure studies, the subsidiary's leverage ratio is...

a shortcut procedure as quick, easy-to use method for design and simulation of multicomponent batch distillation is used to predict the operating condition of recovering xylene from solvent in an existing batch distillation column in benzol refinery. the procedure can be used to investigate the effect of the operating parameters on the operation of column for three possible modes of batch disti...
