In particular, Iraq questions the proposed costs of land acquisition which it states are unsubstantiated.

Production or labour costs constitute only a relatively low proportion of their total operational costs.

The costs taken into consideration were payroll related hardware and software acquisition and development costs (in order to come up with a cost per payslip per year , acquisition and development costs have been distributed over a 10 year period), annual hardware and annual software maintenance and or annual license fees.

Finally, the project will establish a low cost integrated satellite data acquisition system for NOAA and METEOSAT data in Harare.

There are also quasi fiscal costs involved. Fortunately, despite the low returns on foreign assets, this is not yet a major problem for China, owing to the low costs of the corresponding PBOC liabilities.

And by that I mean it's products for which the research and development costs are really high, and the manufacturing costs are low.

With the industrial economy, it is about controlling costs getting the costs down as low as possible so we can offer them to the masses.

(g) Conduct an assessment of hidden costs of conflicts, covering the cost for wasted time, loss of skilled staff, low morale and productivity and health costs

117. Notes with concern the lack of detail in the proposed programme budget of unit costs for the replacement or acquisition of information technology related equipment

In some cases the systems are so old that it is difficult to estimate what the initial acquisition or development costs were, related to payroll processing.

Iraq notes that Saudi Arabia has not provided details on how it calculated the costs of land acquisition, particularly since the land is probably government owned.

The low costs of finance facilitated global investment, thereby contributing to the acceleration of global growth in 2004.

Moreover, if financial institutions follow their own risk assessments when estimating appropriate capital cushions, the costs associated with such provisions decline. Better repayment prospects and lower regulatory capital costs then fuel the asset based financing of further acquisition of assets.

The high costs inherent in the acquisition of these items of equipment may put digital image processing of radar data out of the reach of some African institutions.

At one extreme, low data rate sensors with only local or regional coverage on missions with low tracking and command requirements impose relatively low demands on the ground segment, possibly comprising only 10 per cent or less of total programme costs.

Launch costs represent a large portion of total programme costs (generally over 25 per cent) and satellite mass and size must therefore be constrained to take full advantage of low cost launch opportunities.

The initial installation cost of a nuclear power plant may be high its operating costs, however, are relatively low and stable.

To partly offset this increase, the provisions made for other secretariat wide costs under General operating expenses, Acquisition of furniture and equipment and Supplies and materials have been revisited and reduced.

But it is not possible to convert territorial forces into expeditionary forces overnight, and the costs of transformation often must compete with the costs of deploying forces for operations. Many allies face the dilemma of either spending money on operations or investing in new acquisition programs.

New capacity is mainly planned in developing countries and countries in transition with relatively low production costs and rapidly growing domestic demand.

Several factors limit Al Qaida and the Taliban's use of military equipment these include arms control measures, market availability, the risks of acquisition, the costs and the need for expertise and training.

The savings were offset in part by higher than budgeted fixed wing aircraft guaranteed costs and by the acquisition of additional air operation manuals, accident investigation kits, including digital cameras, and other supplies.

Yes, it costs tens of millions, low hundreds of millions, but one time shot and we've got basically the history of printed literature online.

However, such incentives do not address the problem of low quality education, and research shows that the benefits do not always outweigh the costs.

End user efficiency improvements provided or supported by water utilities can lower water costs, with benefits for low income households, and reduce water losses.

Business acquisition in 2004

Acquisition planning by missions

Economists knew that the damage costs had been extensively massaged, and that the estimates were outliers compared to the academic literature. The unfathomably low projections for policy costs were artifacts of ignoring most liabilities, again contradicting the academic literature.

Even in a situation with relatively slow demand growth and weak prices, new capacity may still be added successfully if production costs are low enough.

Costs are low when local or regional experts are involved (Guatemala, Peru), and on the high side when international consultants are used (e.g. PDR Lao).

The cost of arms is often low compared to the overall logistical costs of terrorist attacks, but as mission critical components, they usually have funding priority.

Well known, low cost, and low tech interventions do not reach those most in need for example immunization against tetanus, exclusive breastfeeding, simple care for low weight babies, and antibiotics for infection. Such interventions are extremely cost effective, and packaging these interventions together and linking them with other health programs reduces costs further.

No one should expect that the costs of combating climate change will be low. But those costs will have a significantly higher expected value if we do not adopt sensible global strategies that include adjusting our mitigation efforts in response to new information.

(o) Acquisition of office equipment 5,000.

(p) Acquisition of software packages 1,000.

Acquisition and rental of real property

The poor quality of infrastructure imposes heavy costs on the producers of tradable goods and on the rest of the population, given the low population density in Africa.

Can technology alter the acquisition of values?

7.3 Acquisition of nationality of the Niger

Some experts pointed out that China's nuclear power leads the world in technical level, safety performance, operating experience and all other aspects, as well as has relatively low costs.

Because the analysis did not include subsidies, rebates, tax write offs, docks constructed at public expense, and costs for training and marketing, this estimate should be considered conservatively low.

Jordan claims an amount of USD 102,962,079 for expenses incurred in treating low birth weight infants and an amount of USD 51,710,096 for costs incurred in treating malnourished children.

The conclusion is clear the costs of corruption far outweigh the benefits and not only in China. Since World War II, many countries have attempted the transition from low to high income status, but only 13 have succeeded and all had relatively low levels of official corruption.

There are no provisions for acquisition of equipment.

The requirements under communications ( 690,000) include non recurrent requirements of 519,600 for the acquisition of VHF UHF and HF equipment, satellite equipment, switching equipment, test and workshop equipment and other communications equipment, such as a videoconferencing terminal, solar power system and freight costs.
