...By Brian Grow Ah, the holiday shopping season: Santa Claus, reindeer -- and rebate hell. Those annoying mail-in offers are everywhere these days. Shoppers hate collecting all the paperwork, filling out the forms, and mailing it all in to claim their $10 or $100. But no matter how annoying rebates are for consumers, the country's retailers and manufacturers love them. From PC powerhouse Dell (DELL) to national chains Circuit City (CC) and OfficeMax (OMX) to the Listerine mouthwash sold at Rite Aid (RAD) drugstores, rebates are proliferating. Nearly one-third of all computer gear is now sold with some form of rebate, along with more than 20% of digital cameras, camcorders, and LCD TVs, says market researcher NPD Group. Hal Stinchfield, a 30-year veteran of the rebate business, calculates that some 400 million rebates are offered each year. Their total face value: $6 billion, he estimates. Office-products retailer Staples (SPLS) says it and its vendors alone pay $3.5 million in rebates each week. TAX ON THE DISORGANIZED. Why the rage for rebates? The industry's open secret is that fully 40% of all rebates never get redeemed because consumers fail to apply for them or their applications are rejected, estimates Peter S. Kastner, a director of consulting firm Vericours. That translates into more than $2 billion of extra revenue for retailers and their suppliers each year. What rebates do is get consumers to focus on the discounted price of a product, then buy it at full price...

...Research Paper Group names RES/351 June 21, 2015 Larry Oslund California Drought Excessive and unnecessary daily water usage is not improving the California drought. There are many options available to individuals and businesses to help conserve water. In this research paper we will discuss the techniques, eco-friendly appliances and drought tolerant landscaping ideas to help conserve. We will also go into greater detail on rebate incentives to persuade individuals to preserve water consumption. As an employee of the municipal water district I will be discussing the different techniques individuals and companies can take to help conserve water. Individuals can change many things in their daily routines such as, turning the water off while brushing teeth and hands as well as not letting the water run longer then needed. Individuals who use their dishwasher can wait till the dishwasher is full and wash only certain days a week. They can do the same when washing laundry as well and use the cold cycle rather than hot water whenever possible. I am going to focus on these three beneficial techniques, not flushing every time we use the bathroom, recycling and reusing water, and only using appliances when they are full. The point of view that I am going to take is from an employee at a municipal water district teaching homeowners to save water during this drought. I will be sharing my thoughts on appliances that are energy/water saving. I...

...Design and Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Off-Grid Photovoltaic Power Systems Mounir Bouzguenda, Abdelkader Tami, Azzeddine Ferrah, and Jihad Al-Khalaf Faculty of Engineering, Sohar University PO Box 44 PC 311 Sohar-Oman Tel: +968-820-101 ext 233 Email:m.bouzguenda@soharuni.edu.om Abstract--The interest in off-grid photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems in villages and remote areas is increasing. This interest stems from several factors such as improvement in living standards, reduced capital cost, stricter environmental constraints, and national programs that encourage renewable energy systems. To promote the usefulness of such renewable energy systems, a simple design and cost analysis method was developed. Its purpose is system sizing and life cycle cost analysis. Key parameters such as energy consumption, storage requirements, solar resources and financing options are entered into the program. Results such as system size and project cost are computed. For the financial analysis, Internal Rate of Return and Payback Period are used as project evaluation techniques. The method was tested for four PV systems with different geographical conditions and energy consumption profiles. Results show that the PV systems can be attractive on economic basis if governments provide sufficient funding and incentives. 1. INTRODUCTION Photovoltaics offer consumers the ability to generate electricity in a clean, quiet and reliable way. Because the source of energy is...

...A Car Feebate Program and Its Effects Evaluation Abstract. A car feebate program is one of governmental policies to improve our environment. It is designed to impose a fee on high-carbon vehicles and give a rebate to low-carbon vehicles, so that it aims to shift consumer purchases to low-carbon vehicles. Starting from 2015, Korean government will plan to implement this policy for this purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of this policy, this paper conducts research from three different aspects: its effects on Korean auto industry, fiscal neutrality, and consumer welfare. Based on the evaluation, this paper concludes whether it is timely or premature that a car feebate program is introduced in Korea as planned. 1. Introduction Due to a fee imposed on high-carbon vehicles and a rebate given to low-carbon vehicles, the relative price adjustment arises among vehicles: the price of high-carbon vehicles relatively goes up, whereas that of low-carbon vehicles relatively goes down. This paper asks how this relative price adjustment affects Korean auto industry. Moreover, given the fact that this policy pursues “fiscal neutrality”, which means the amount of fees imposed equals to that of rebates given, this paper doubts whether or not it could secure the fiscal neutrality. Lastly, this paper shows how this policy influences on consumer welfare. As global warming has been getting worse due to vehicle exhaust emissions, many countries are introducing environment-protecting policies...

...five most important skills are analytical skills, basic accounting skills, problem solving skills, data analysis skills and interviewing skills (McMullen & Sanchez, 2010). Forensic accountants need analytical skills because as they review financial reports and other source documents, they need to analyze the validity of each transaction and determine if the company recorded the transaction fairly. The forensic accountant needs the ability to analyze where the data came from and whether the data accurately reflects the numbers posted in the financial reports (McIntosh, n.d.). With an in house forensic accountant, this will ensure the company’s financial state is accurately reflected while an independent forensic accountant can verify the accuracy of the reports, both of which help investors determine if the company is worth investing in. “Accounting is widely regarded as the language of business” (McMullen and Sanchez, 2010, pg.1). As such, the need for basic accounting skills is self-evident, for a forensic accountant to be able to review financial reports and other source documents he needs to have an understanding of basic accounting. Without that understanding, the forensic accountant couldn’t determine if the entries in the financial journals are correct or if there is some kind of fraud being committed. As for the need for problem solving and data analysis skills,...

...An Analysis of Toro Corporation’s S’No Risk Program Risk analysis from the point of view of Toro: Toro bears relatively minimal risk on this S’No risk program the year they ran it, as the most they are going to pay-out to the insurance company in 1983 is around $680K, while in-turn profiting $106K. (Bell, 2004). The year they ran the promotion, a confluence of elements came into play: the insurance company erroneously quoted them 2.1% of the retail value of the snowthrowers covered; the snowfall was significantly higher than the year before, but because of this premium cap by the insurance company, it did not lose its shorts on its liabilities. Additionally, they did not have to pay vendors the 10 percent discount they normally did in the fall. That was an increase of 8% in profit for Toro, plus the vendors and consumers were delighted. Risk analysis from the point of view of the insurance companies: American Home Assurance carried the most risk. According to the case study, they agreed to meet all claims from the program for only 2.1 percent of the retail value of the snowthrowers covered (Bell, 2004). The total number of rebates that year of the promotion was 19 percent. While Toro, hedged its losses, American Home ate 17 percent of the cost of rebates. If Toro were to continue the program it would increase the premium to 8% of the total sales, which amounted to an average of the last four years of actual payouts by Toro (Bell, 2004). American Home would try to...
