Determining overhead costs often involves making assumptions about what costs should be associated with production activities and what costs should be associated with other activities.

Determining which goods have been sold, and the cost of those goods, requires either identifying the goods or using a convention to assume which goods were sold.

" Although a Human Effects Advisory Panel was established in 1998 to provide independent assessment on human effects, data, and models for the use of ' non-lethal weapons ' on the general population, the TECOM Technology Symposium in 1997 concluded on non-lethal weapons: " Determining the target effects on personnel is the greatest challenge to the testing community ," primarily because " the potential of injury and death severely limits human tests.

Determining the poverty line is usually done by finding the total cost of all the essential resources that an average human adult consumes in one year.

Determining what constitutes this life-cycle includes assessing the relevance and extent of energy into raw material extraction, transport, manufacture, assembly, installation, dis-assembly, deconstruction and / or decomposition as well as human and secondary resources.

Determining an absolute poverty line is usually done by finding the total cost of all the essential resources that an average human adult consumes in one year.

Determining the presence of both parts of this definition is not always straightforward, as hypoglycemic symptoms and effects are vague and can be produced by other conditions ; people with recurrently low glucose levels can lose their threshold symptoms so that severe neuroglycopenic impairment can occur without much warning, and many measurement methods ( especially glucose meters ) are imprecise at low levels.

Determining the distances to astronomical objects is crucial to understanding them, but the vast majority of objects are too far away for their distances to be directly determined.

Determining the nature of the planet has not been straightforward ; a 2002 paper hypothesizes that the lumps are caused by a roughly Jupiter-mass planet on an eccentric orbit.

Determining what average input means is difficult, and often that average input has properties which make it difficult to characterise mathematically ( consider, for instance, algorithms that are designed to operate on strings of text ).

Determining a precise distance to the LMC, as with any other galaxy, was challenging due to the use of standard candles for calculating distances, with the primary problem being that many of the standard candles are not as ' standard ' as one would like ; in many cases, the age and / or metallicity of the standard candle plays a role in determining the intrinsic luminosity of the object.
