The Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA) was [1] [2] the regulatory body for all premium rate phone-paid services in the United Kingdom between 1986 and 2025. It covered the content, goods and services that consumers can buy by charging the cost to their phone bills and pre-pay phone accounts. [3]
The standard model (also called "100% PSA") works as follows: Starting with an annualized prepayment rate of 0.2% in month 1, the rate increases by 0.2% each month, until it reaches 6% in month 30. From the 30th month onward, the model assumes an annualized prepayment rate of 6% of the remaining balance. [2]
Some examples of indirect costs and their drivers are: indirect costs for maintenance, with the possible driver of this cost being the number of machine hours; or the indirect cost of handling raw-material cost, which may be driven by the number of orders received; or inspection costs that are driven by the number of inspections or the hours of ...
PSA software is designed to improve the performance and profitability of professional services firms. A recent end-user survey conducted by SPI Research [4] showed significant improvement in key performance indicators such as: Faster staffing and invoicing workflows; Lower project cancellation rates; Improved on-time, under-budget project ...
Example of calculation of Average Per-Bit Delivery Cost for a small data-flow. Average Per-Bit Delivery Cost divides the cost of however many bits were actually modulated across a network or component of a network over a period of time by the total operational and amortized capital expenses associated with the network or component over the same time-period, to produce an average cost for the ...
Proof-of-work systems such as hashcash and Penny Black require that a sender pay a computational cost by performing a calculation that the receiver can later verify. Verification must be much faster than performing the calculation, so that the computation slows down a sender but does not significantly impact a receiver.
Delivery schedule adherence (DSA) is a business metric used to calculate the timeliness of deliveries from suppliers. It is a commonly used supply chain metric and forms part of the Quality, Cost, Delivery group of performance indicators.
A cost-plus contract is often used when performance, quality or delivery time is a much greater concern than cost, such as in the United States space program. [9] Cost plus contracting was expanded to include services such as engineering, consulting, and a variety of other such efforts in the 1980's. [10]
