Life Cycle. Cost Analysis final (template and user guidelines)
Life Cycle. We identify three phases in the existence of a SLA: the creation phase, the operational phase and the removal phase. The division into three phases will help in structuring the various SLA manage- ment activities later on.
Life Cycle. The island marble butterfly life cycle comprises four distinct developmental phases: egg, larva, chrysalis, and butterfly. Development from egg to chrysalis takes approximately 38 days and includes five instars (phases of larval development between molts) (Xxxxxxx 2011, p.
Life Cycle. The life cycle of the elephant is remarkably similar to that of an average human being; as follows: • Suckle using the mouth, not trunk • Are weaned on milk between two – four years. Although the elephant will naturally be attracted to its mother, other cows in the herd often take turns to look after the baby • If the mother dies then the other cows (aunties) look after the orphaned baby • Elephants can bear young at age 16 • Begin work at 16 years • Are fully grown at 20 years old • Are in their working prime between 20-40 years • Start going bald around 30 years • Begin to slow down at 40 years • Live around 70 years • Are on light duties only when they reach 50 • An elephant will be able to tell if a corpse is from the same herd. If so then the whole herd will avoid that area, apparently out of respect. This is so even when the bones are buried. The reason for this phenomena but may be attributed to their acute sense of smell and possible other unknown factors • Largest of all land creatures • A bull can stand 2.7m (9ft) in height • Weigh between 3 – 5 tonnes (2,721 – 4,535 kg or 6,000 – 10,000 lbs.) • Female elephants can stand 2.3 m (7.5 ft) in height • Weigh between 2.3 – 4.5 tonnes (2,086 – 4,082 kg or 4,600 – 9,000 lbs.) • Newly born baby elephants (calves) stand at around (0.9m) 3ft and weigh around 90kg (200 lbs.) • Despite its huge size the elephant has an extraordinary sense of balance and an extremely high tactile sense • The brain of the elephant weighs about 5 kg or 11 lbs. (4 times the weight of a human) • Has the largest ears of any creature • Skin is around 2.5 cm (1") thick • Are purely vegetarian, herbivore • Eat around 200-300 kg of fodder per day • Drink about 150 litres of water • Favoured foods include: Bananas, bamboo, berries, mangoes, coconuts, corn, jungle shrubs, palm fruits, sugar cane, wood apples and wild rice. In western Zoos they are often fed bread and have developed a taste for this type of food. The popular myth that elephants love buns probably stems from this peculiarity • Salt is essential and the elephant shows a distinct liking for it • The elephant’s digestion system is quite inefficient and only around 50% of the fodder eaten is utilised • Cold climates cause stomach aches
Life Cycle. The Joint Parties agree to use for ratemaking purposes of a life cycle of four years for personal computers, which represents a compromise between SDG&E’s position of three years and UCAN’s position of five years. The revenue requirements provided by this Settlement for each account including personal computer expenses reflects a four-year PC life cycle. SDG&E proposed the adoption of SOP 98-1, which would result in expensing certain costs that would be capitalized under the current policy, and also proposed a change in its capitalization policy (especially as to the threshold for capitalization of “general equipment” and certain pipeline replacements) as described in Exhibit No.39 (X. Xxxxxxx Kan) at pp.4-7. No party in its testimony expressly opposed SDG&E adopting SOP 98-1. No party in its testimony expressly opposed SDG&E’s proposal for "harmonizing" capitalization policies. FEA did propose a "phase-in" of the revenue requirement impacts for SDG&E’s capitalization policy change. The Joint Parties agree that SDG&E’s recommendations on these items are adopted by the settlement within the settled revenue requirement. The Joint Parties agree that no "phase in" is necessary. The Joint Parties agree that adoption of this accounting policy in this Settlement is not precedential.
