Positive variation occurs when actual production exceeds estimates, negative variation when it falls short. Managers and other supervisors in factories often create budgets that project the company’s overall expectations regarding different aspects of its operations, including production […]
A volume group is a logical collection of storage space that can span multiple physical devices, used in UNIX and LINUX logical volume management. Physical volumes can be hard drives, disk partitions, or external storage devices, while logical volumes are concatenated storage spaces. The volume group maps logical extents to physical extents, creating a pool […]
A volume group is a logical collection of computer storage space that can span multiple physical devices. It combines physical and logical volumes into a single administrative element within UNIX® and LINUX® logical volume management. Physical volumes can be hard drives, disk partitions, or external storage devices. Logical volumes consist of logical extents, which are […]
Understanding the difference between volume and surface area is important in mathematics and practical applications like gift wrapping. Volume is the capacity of an object, while surface area is the sum of all its faces. Calculating volume is straightforward, but surface area requires finding the area of each face. Calculating the surface area of a […]
Stock volatility is the likelihood of a stock experiencing a significant increase or decrease in value within a set period.

While not always completely accurate, volatility models are an important part of business forecasting. A volatility […]
Volatility arbitrage is a strategy that aims to maximize profits by considering the difference between an option’s implied volatility and its future realized volatility, within a delta-neutral portfolio. The investor carefully evaluates predictable factors that could affect the risk associated with an option in the future, and looks for options with different levels of volatility […]
Volume discounts are offered by sellers and manufacturers to those who buy in large quantities. This can result in lower prices for consumers, but may require more storage space. Small stores must offer personal service to compete with larger stores that can offer bulk discounts. Consumers should consider their actual needs before buying in bulk. […]
