c Cost estimates for 2005 06 are inclusive of an average 10 delayed deployment factor.

Methodology for deriving weighted ranges

Weighted ranges (baseline and variants)

Additional requirements were also due to the fact that the actual average cost per trip ( 2,500) was higher than the budgeted cost per trip ( 2,300).

The rate was based on the average cost of the existing overload posts at the time.

Deployment travel of police is based on an average one way cost of 2,750 per person.

Accordingly, the weighted membership factor is 93,288 points (40 per cent of 233,219), the weighted population factor is 11,611 points (5 per cent) and the weighted contribution factor is 128,270 points (55 per cent).

The weighted baseline is variant 0w, which is the transposition of the current system from non weighted to weighted (base figure 2,700, membership 40 per cent, population 5 per cent, contribution 55 per cent).

Tariff rates have been reduced from a weighted average of 14 per cent to 9 per cent and the plethora of tariff bands have been reduced to six this will simplify assessments by customs.

Deployment travel of military observers is based on an average one way cost of 2,750 per person.

Therefore, costs in relation to the deployment travel and pre deployment deployment allowances increased the average monthly cost from the budgeted average of 4,000 per month to an actual average of 7,840 per month, resulting in additional requirements.

The pro growth rationale for reducing the US corporate tax rate is compelling, and explains why Obama has proposed cutting it from 35 to 28 (roughly the weighted average rate of the other developed countries).

If it is assumed that three quarters of them attend one meeting each year at an average cost of 5,000 per trip, the added cost would be 424,000.

As these staff receive the post adjustment applicable to their home duty station, the average salary cost was higher than the standard cost used in the budget estimates.

The average rate for net cost increases in the biennium 2006 2007 is 2 per cent per annum.

In Germany, for example, interest rates on public debt up to five years will be negative, and only slightly positive beyond that, producing a weighted average of zero. Clearly, Japan s near zero interest rate environment is no longer unique.

With regard to the costs of amputation surgery, the Panel considers that Kuwait's estimate is not reasonable since it is based on the average cost of surgery at the Mubarak Al Kabeer Hospital, which is higher than the average cost at the Al Razi Hospital, where the surgery was actually performed.

The sharp increase in film production number indicates a rising production cost on average, which has aroused alert of the industry.

The estimates provided for an average of 4,100 per round trip ticket, while the actual cost was 5,261 per round trip ticket.

The average annual cost of Tracolimus 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 5 mg, an immunosuppressant given to transplant patients, calculated at 66,000.

The resulting figure is weighted by the gross salary per annum in United States dollars divided by 1,000 (ibid., fourth column) to produce a weighted base figure (ibid., fifth column).

The rate of growth of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita for landlocked developing countries, as a group, declined from 2.2 to 1.5 per cent (on average, weighted by the size of the population) in 2003 compared with 2002 (see table 2).

Kuwait states that the average cost per visit is 114.50 Kuwaiti dinars, and converts this amount to United States dollars as USD 377.85.

However, the main (non weighted) system of desirable ranges remains applicable.

What they basically show us, the average of all macroeconomic models, is that Kyoto, if everyone agreed, would cost about 150 billion dollars a year.

The lower average troop strength resulted in reduced requirements for standard troop cost reimbursement, recreational leave and daily allowance for troops, and contingent owned equipment.

The budget estimates provided for an actual phased deployment of 32 international United Nations Volunteers from March 2005 at an average monthly cost of 4,000.

Use of criteria such as average cost and total number of services delivered formed the initial basis for performance measurement, as undertaken by traditional systems.

The weighted midpoint in table 4 represents the sum of the weighted membership, population and contribution factors, and the weighted range is calculated as 15 per cent upwards and downwards (but not less than 415 points up and down (4.8 times 86.37), with the upper limit being not less than 1,209 points (14 times 86.37).

The fact is studies show that the cost of malnutrition and hunger the cost to society, the burden it has to bear is on average six percent, and in some countries up to 11 percent, of GDP a year.

(c) Changes to geographical distribution by application of the weighted system of ranges.

Different methods have been used to calculate the weighted ranges over the years.

In case of an even distribution of staff of a Member State from the P 2 to the D 2 grade and beyond, the difference between the weighted and non weighted systems of ranges is minimal, and an application of the weighted system will not lead to changes in the representation status of that Member State.

This average monthly cost, however, included deployment travel and pre deployment deployment allowances amortized over a full year as opposed to a four month period only.

After deducting the average marketing expense of US 21.9 million and production cost of US 30.5 million, the net income stood at US 81.9 million on average, which topped the income list. Its profit rate was much higher than that of theatrical distribution.

d Cost estimates for 2005 06 are inclusive of a 25 vacancy rate for international staff positions and an average 10 vacancy rate for national staff positions.

The application of the weighted system on the current population of staff in posts subject to geographical distribution as at 31 December 2004 indicates variations when compared with the baseline for the non weighted variant (variant 0).
