A Consumer-Provider Cloud Cost Model Considering Variable Cost
2011 IEEE Ninth International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing, 2011This paper represents an analytical economic cost model for cloud computing aiming at comprising all kinds of cost of a commercial environment. To extend conventional stateof-the-art models considering only fixed cost, we developed a concise, but comprehensive analytical model which does not only include fixed cost, but also variable cost allowing for ...

The Accounting Review, 1940
Abstract The article discusses about various issues related to fixed and variable costs. In considering the problem of the adoption of uniform accounting principles, it would seem that not enough attention is given to the matter of interpretative reporting. Once the bookkeeping principles have been established, the matter of preparing

The Costs of Wind's Variability: Is There a Threshold?
The Electricity Journal, 2005Managing wind's intermittency entails costs even when wind power supplies a small fraction of load. If electric power systems evolve efficiently as wind capacity grows, the costs of managing intermittency will grow smoothly with increasing penetration, allowing wind power to provide deep reductions in CO 2 emissions at costs that are competitive with ...

On the consideration of variability in cost estimating
IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 1972Engineering companies are frequently requested to submit a fixed-price bid or a ceiling on cost-plus bids. These bids may be subjected to competition or negotiations. In order to determine the bid price, engineering management must first estimate the actual costs to be incurred on the project. The method presented utilizes three estimates for each cost
