Analisis Modal Kerja dan Profitabilitas pada PT. Wahana Sumber Lestari Samarinda di Samarinda

This study aimed to calculate and test the amount of working capital and profitability on PT. Wahana Sumber Lestari Samarinda. The problem in this study is “"Is the increase in working capital in PT. Wahana Sumber Lestari Samarinda can increase profitability growth ?” Working capital is the total funds needed to generate income for the year or functional working capital or functional concepts. Profitability of a company shows a comparison between the earnings or capital assets that generate such profits, in other words, profitability is the ability of a company to generate profit for a certain period.Based on the analysis, working capital turnover at PT. Wahana Sumber Lestari Samarinda in 2009 only 2.5 times, in 2010 (2.8 times), in 2011 (2.9 times) and 2012 (2.6 times). Working capital turnover increased in 2010 and 2011 while in 2012 the working capital turnover has decreased. Overall value of working capital turnover is still below average that is 6 times the industry average or 60 days. The slow turnaround in the company's working capital caused by too much cash, inventory buildup and slow withdrawal of receivables.Profitability ratio in PT. Wahana Sumber Lestari Samarinda rides between 2009 and 2012 looks very volatile. Net Profit Margin, Return On Investment, Return On Equity, Growth Net Profit Margin, Return on Equity and Growth Growth Return On Investment had increased in 2010 then in 2011 and 2012 decreased. The decrease in 2011 and 2012 occurred because of decreased sales so little impact on net income. Despite an increase in 2010 than in 2009 but still below the value of the resulting average - the industry average is 20% net profit margin, return on investment 30% and 40% Return On Equity. (Kasmir, 2011:208). Profitability becomes a thing that is more important than just knowing the company earned net income

A novel intermittent fault detection algorithm and health monitoring for electronic interconnections

There are various occurrences and root causes that result in no-fault-found (NFF) events but an intermittent fault (IF) is the most frustrating. This paper describes the challenging and most important area of an IF detection and health monitoring that focuses toward NFF situation in electronics interconnections. The experimental work focuses on mechanically-induced intermittent conditions in connectors. This paper illustrates a test regime, which can be used to repeatedly reproduce intermittence in electronic connectors, while subjected to vibration. A novel algorithm is used to detect an IF in interconnection. It sends a sine wave and decodes the received signal for intermittent information from the channel. This algorithm has been simulated to capture an IF signature using PSpice (electronic circuit simulation software). A simulated circuit is implemented for practical verification. However, measurements are presented using an oscilloscope. The results of this experiment provide an insight into the limitations of existing test equipment and requirements for future IF detection techniques. Aside from scheduled maintenance, this paper considers the possibility for in-service intermittent detection to be built into future systems, i.e., can IFs be captured without external test gear

Structural Behaviour of Load-Bearing Interlocking Hollow Block Masonry

The structural behaviour of an interlocking block system has been investigated in this research. The interlocking blocks developed by the Housing Research Center, Universiti Putra Malaysia have been used to assemble a number of prisms and wall panels. This interlocking block system has been filed for a patent. Three types of individual blocks are utilized in this research, these are stretcher, comer and half block units. I The research covers the production of the block using a manually controlled machine which has been developed for the production of the three different types of block. The test program includes testing of individual blocks, prisms and different wall panels. Forty individual blocks have been tested under axial compression. Ten prisms have been tested under axial1oad. The failure mechanism were recorded for each type of specimen. Sixteen wall specimens having different height (slenderness ratio), subjected to load applied at different eccentricities, have been tested. The selected heights of the tested walls are 1.2, 1.8, 2.4 and 3.0m. The eccentricity of the applied load is another important parameter considered in testing the wall specimens to simulate the actual nature of the applied load in construction. The values are 0, 20, 40 and 55mm measured from the centerline of the wall panels. The structural behaviour of the wall panel specimens were studied in terms of the load-deflection characteristic, strain-stress distribution, efficiency of the wall and the failure mode of the interlocking walls. The study focuses on the differences and similarities of the behaviour of interlocking walls compared to bonded walls. BS 5628: Part 1: 1978 was used to explore the behaviour of the bonded walls. The study showed that the strength of the interlocking block and its interlocking mechanism were sufficient and that the block can be used for construction of load bearing walls. Based on the test results, a number of mathematical equations have been proposed to predict the reduction in the wall efficiency with the increases of the eccentricity of the applied load and the slenderness ratio of the wall. A design procedure has also been proposed to be used in the design of load bearing interlocking hollow block system

The Wal-Mart Tax: A Review of Studies Examining Employers\u27 Health Care Cost-Shifting

[Excerpt] As job-based health coverage declines and employers shift ever-growing health costs onto employees, workers increasingly must turn to taxpayer-funded programs like Medicaid to get health care for themselves and their families. Meanwhile, Medicaid is wrestling with explosive cost growth, increasing 56 percent since 2000. Medicaid is the second largest expense for most states, accounting for around 16 percent of state budgets, on average. States’ spending on the program is expected to grow almost 12 percent this year, four times faster than the increase in states’ general fund spending. Recent studies in 13 states have examined the extent to which employers’ workers utilize public health programs to secure health coverage for themselves and their families. As the following summary of those analyses reflects, in each one of these states, Wal-Mart ranks at or near the very top of the list of employers that are shifting to the public the cost of providing health care for their workers. In so doing, Wal-Mart is directly contributing to the nation’s Medicaid crisis
