PWGSC [Public Works and Government Services Canada] Real Property Services Branch Document. PWGSC offered significant savings in office accommodation as part of the department's Program Review targets, in response to the anticipated downsizing of the federal public service. In addition, the targets include the Treasury Board directed 10% efficiency gains stemming from the Shared Accommodation Leadership(SAL) initiative. These two government wide initiatives necessitated the creation of a space recapture framework. The Client Space Envelope/Notional Budget Allocation is a concept which has been developed to allow clients to be more keenly aware of their space utilization so that they can take an active part in the space recapture framework.... The Budget Allocations are considered "notional" because no resources are actually transferred, and because budgets are based on 1994/95 average costs(excluding capital, lease acquisition fees, etc.). The process will involve PWGSC and clients agreeing on the base occupancy data and multi-year space reduction targets. 1, record 14, English, - Client%20Space%20Envelopes%2FNotional%20Budget%20Allocations%20Guiding%20and%20Operating%20Principles

Document des Services immobiliers de TPSGC [Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada]. TPSGC a proposé d'importantes économies dans l'aménagement des locaux à bureaux, dans le cadre des objectifs de l'Examen des programmes du Ministère, pour faire face à la compression prévue de la fonction publique fédérale. En outre, ces objectifs comprennent également les gains d'efficience de 10 % ordonnés par le Conseil du Trésor et découlant également du projet de Leadership partagé en matière de locaux (LPL). En raison de ces deux mesures qui s'appliquent à l'ensemble du gouvernement, il a fallu créer un cadre pour la récupération des locaux. La notion d'enveloppe de superficie des clients et d'affectation budgétaire fictive a été élaborée afin de permettre aux clients de mieux prendre conscience de la superficie qu'ils utilisent, de façon qu'ils puissent prendre une part active à la récupération des locaux. [...] Les affectations budgétaires sont dites «fictives», puisqu'il n'y a pas de transfert réel de ressources et parce que les budgets se fondent sur les coûts moyens établis pour 1994-1995 (ce qui exclut les immobilisations et les frais nécessaires pour conclure un bail, etc.). Dans le cadre processus, TPSGC et les clients s'entendent sur les données de base sur le plan de l'occupation et les objectifs pluriannuels de réduction de la superficie. 2, record 14, French, - Enveloppes%20de%20locaux%20des%20clients%20%2D%20Affectations%20budg%C3%A9taires%20fictives%20Principes%20directeurs%20et%20principes%20de%20fonctionnement

The opportunity cost of using investment resources in a project rather than in their next best alternative use; usually expressed in the form of an interest rate. The reduction in non-project benefits in relation to project objectives that is a result of using capital in the project. In practice, usually a weighted average calculation of the cost of securing project capital from various sources. In financial analysis, the weighted average cost to the firm or farm of equity capital and of borrowed capital from likely sources. In economic analysis, usually the weighted average cost of capital to the economy as a whole, but sometimes the weighted average cost of capital to the public sector. The rate at which benefits and costs are discounted in calculating the net present worth, the net benefit-investment ratio, or the benefit-cost ratio. The cut-off rate for project analysis, and hence the minimum acceptable internal rate of return. 3, record 15, English, - opportunity%20cost%20of%20capital

Es el costo de oportunidad de utilizar los recursos de inversión de un proyecto en lugar de en su mejor utilización opcional siguiente en orden de rentabilidad. Usualmente, se expresa en forma de una tasa de interés. Es la reducción en beneficios ajenos al proyecto en relación con los objetivos del proyecto que resulta de utilizar capital en el proyecto. En la práctica es usualmente un cálculo del promedio ponderado del costo de obtener de varias fuentes capital para el proyecto. En el análisis financiero, es el costo medio ponderado para la empresa o la finca del capital social y del capital tomado en préstamo de fuentes posibles. En el análisis económico, suele ser el costo medio ponderado del capital para la economía en conjunto, pero en ocasiones es el costo medio ponderado del capital para el sector público. Es la tasa a la cual se actualizan los costos y beneficios al calcular el valor neto actual, la relación inversión-beneficio neto o la relación beneficios-costos. Es la tasa de rentabilidad aceptable para el análisis de proyectos y, por consiguiente, la tasa de rentabilidad interna mínima aceptable. 1, record 15, Spanish, - costo%20de%20oportunidad%20del%20capital
