denominator

Examples of denominator in the following topics:

• The Public Debt

  • Such bonds are often denominated in the country's domestic currency.
  • Investors in sovereign bonds denominated in foreign currency have the additional risk that the issuer may be unable to obtain foreign currency to redeem the bonds.
  • An example is in borrowing by different European Union countries denominated in euros.
  • Treasury bonds denominated in U.S. dollars are often considered "risk free" in the U.S.

• Low Voter Turnout

  • There are difficulties in measuring both the numerator, the number of voters who cast votes, and the denominator, the number of voters eligible to vote.
  • In estimating voter turnout the voting age population for a political unit is often used as the denominator for the number of individuals eligible to vote in a given election; this method has been shown to lose inaccuracy when a larger percentage of the VAP is ineligible to vote.

• Presidential Candidates

  • Also, 2012 Republican candidate Mitt Romney is Mormon, which is considered by many to be a fringe protestant denomination.

• The Golden Age: 1860–1932

  • Reformers worked for civil service reform, prohibition and women's suffrage, while philanthropists built colleges and hospitals, and the many religious denominations exerted a major sway in both politics and everyday life.
