StartExcel Tip and Example

&APage &PTip: You can develop a model of your business with an Excel workbook. This model calculates ROE, ROI, profit margin and asset turnover. Once the model is developed, you can try various what if scenarios. You can use Goal Seek functions to solve the model for a desired output (ROE). By adjusting different inputs to the ROE calculation, you can better understand the financial structure and opportunities facing the business. Notes like those inserted in cells N13, N15, Q14 and X18 describe methods of increasing ROE.Guide to the Example: Enter starting values in column B. Click the reset buttons to show ROE for the input values. Click on the spinner buttons to change assumptions and use the reset buttons to return to the original values. Enter a desired ROE in cell M4 and click on the Seek button -- choose which input variable you want to change to solve for the desired ROE.Title: ROI and ROE Performance MeasureKeywords: Return on Investment, Return on Equity, Goal Seek, Management PerformanceDescription: Worksheet model used to calculate Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Equity (ROE) that also provides easy methods of changing input values and seeking a final ROE.Copyright 2000 John F.

This charter remains viable and is not in need of significant update.Did not answer.Available through the NSDI Clearinghouse: Geodetic Control, Electronic Distance Measurement Instrument Calibration Base Lines, GPS orbits, GPS Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), Geoid Model and Vertical Deflections, GravityGeodetic Data Content Standard is under development; Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, Part 1 and Part 2 are endorsed; Spatial Data Transfer Standard Part 6: Point Profile; and Metadata Profiles for Shoreline Data is endorsed.Standards: Developed draft Geodetic Control Data Content Standard, will adjudicate comments from public review.

Policy revised February 13, 2002, to include foreign data holdings which have been authorized for publication by the respective country. NGS is ableNo significant issues.D) Geologic Data SubcommitteeUSGSIncludes all geologic mapping information and related geoscience spatial data that can contribute to the National Geologic Map Database.Uses include: exploration for and development of mineral, energy, and water resources; screening and characterizing sites for toxic and nuclear waste disposal; land use evaluation and planning for environmental protection; and more (see response for moreThe principal current charter is contained within the National Geological Mapping Reauthorization Action of 1999.All USGS performance measures are provided in the FY 2004 Annual Performance and Accountability Report (http://www.doi.gov/pfm/burrept.html).All newly released USGS geological map products provide metadata which is listed in the Clearinghouse. Only a fraction of geologic map information is in digital form and therefore documented in metadata, but the geoscience community is actively convertinApproved development of 2 FGDC Standards: geologic map symbolization and geologic data model. The geologic map symbolization standard is being revised for approval as an FGDC standard in 2005.The Public Review draft of the geologic map symbolization standard is under revision. Submittal and approval by the FGDC is anticipated in 2005. The proposal for a geologic data model was approved by the Subcommittee. The
