  2. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    The tentative rate equation determined by the method of initial rates is therefore normally verified by comparing the concentrations measured over a longer time (several half-lives) with the integrated form of the rate equation; this assumes that the reaction goes to completion. For example, the integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is

  3. Internal rate of return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_rate_of_return

    Internal rate of return (IRR) is a method of calculating an investment's rate of return.The term internal refers to the fact that the calculation excludes external factors, such as the risk-free rate, inflation, the cost of capital, or financial risk.

  4. Rate of return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_return

    (The initial value is treated as an inflow, and the final value as an outflow.) When the internal rate of return is greater than the cost of capital, (which is also referred to as the required rate of return), the investment adds value, i.e. the net present value of cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital, is greater than zero. Otherwise ...

  5. Introductory rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introductory_rate

    An introductory rate (also known as a teaser rate) is an interest rate charged to a customer during the initial stages of a loan. The rate, which can be as low as 0%, is not permanent and after it expires a normal or higher than normal rate will apply. [1] The purpose of the introductory rate is to market the loan to customers and to seem ...

  6. Enzyme kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_kinetics

    If the initial rate of the reaction is measured over a range of substrate concentrations (denoted as [S]), the initial reaction rate increases as [S] increases, as shown on the right. However, as [S] gets higher, the enzyme becomes saturated with substrate and the initial rate reaches V max, the enzyme's maximum rate.

  7. Net present value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_present_value

    The NPV is heavily dependent on knowledge of future cash flows, their timing, the length of a project, the initial investment required, and the discount rate. Hence, it can only be accurate if these input parameters are correct; although, sensitivity analyzes can be undertaken to examine how the NPV changes as the input variables are changed ...

  8. Reaction rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate

    Iron rusting has a low reaction rate. This process is slow. Wood combustion has a high reaction rate. This process is fast. The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. [1]

  9. Compound interest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest

    The effective annual rate is the total accumulated interest that would be payable up to the end of one year, divided by the principal sum. These rates are usually the annualised compound interest rate alongside charges other than interest, such as taxes and other fees.
