| FIN0005 | Determinants of FDI in
India [£4.99]
The primary purpose of the assignment is to discuss, why India is becoming one of the most promising countries for the MNCs as they mark their presence on the global economy. It’s interesting to ponder about the developments that the world’s second most populous nation has undergone since independence. Its ongoing transformation from a closed command economy towards an open one caught the world’s attention. India as a lucrative FDI destination has a lot to offer in terms of its GDP growth, favourable regulatory policies in almost all the sectors, growing clout of the middle class as the symbol for consumerism, younger population which is not only driving consumption but also is learning globally integrating skills, fast developing infrastructure facilities largely deriving inspiration and rightly so from its big brother China and inherent macroeconomic / political stability. Given the limited scope of the study only those parameters shall be considered that make India strongly attractive despite its weaknesses. The same parameters shall be compared with other countries on a random basis to strengthen the argument. [3,800 words] |

Crisis in Iceland [£9.99]
Icelandic government control over the economy has reduced over time. The most dominant decision was when Iceland entered the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1994. When Iceland joined the EEA it got access to European markets and adopted European regulations. Joining the EEA had a positive impact on the economy, however opening an insular economy to the EEA without significant institutional reforms carried with it dangers. Neither the Icelandic authorities nor private firms were prepared to operate in such an environment. This is especially relevant in the case of banking where the aim of Icelandic government was to build up financial centre in Iceland. To be able to build up financial centre it was very important to join EES in order to have access to European markets and adopt European regulations. This was new experience for Iceland to have the access to foreign capital because for most of the 20th century the economy was heavily regulated. [5,500 words] |

| FIN0009 | Diversification Strategy:
An Analysis of
the Business Strategy of Diversification; Using Empirical Financial Data
[£5.99]
This paper examines the business strategy of diversification. Diversification of business lines was widely considered to be a prudent strategy throughout the 1980’s. Diversification offered multiple revenue streams as well a degree of hedged risk management. However, the practice of diversification largely fell out of favour beginning in the 1990’s. Many companies began to devote full focus to their primary business line, while spinning off business lines that were considered to be unrelated to their core competency. Focusing on the core competency products and/or services was thought to be a more efficient approach, with a higher return on the company’s resources. The strategy of business diversification has largely been theoretical with little empirical evidence collected to measure its success or failure.. [4,500 words] |

- Vodafone Group Financial Performace
[£19.99]
The main emphases of this assessment is to make written report that comments on a specific company‘s financial performance and future prospects. The company I chose to report about is Vodafone Group Plc, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and part of the FTSE 100 index. The reason for I chose Vodafone Group Plc is because I think the market that the company operates on is very interesting, i.e. the fact that the company relies heavily on technology and the competition on the market is enormous. In this assessment I‘m gonna try to recognise the company‘s strengths and its weaknesses by using accounting statements and ratio analysis. Try to estimate how well the company is doing compared to its competitiors and the market as a whole. Get to know how the company is financed long term and how its gearing is. I‘m gonna try to estimate if the company is priced fairly, get to know the company‘s dividend policy and find out the stragedy the comany follows in mergers, acquisitions and corporate restrucuturing. To cover all these things I‘m going to use theories and principal that has been taught in the course and use other sources like library and internet to find references. In the analysis I will use Reuters to support my calculation of ratios and other things. [8,000 words] |

Ratio Analysis
– Its Usage To Predict A Downturn And Turnaround A
Company’s Fortune [£9.99]
“It’s better to prepare and prevent than repair and repent”. This holds true in every aspect of our life and more so in the case of business life which is marked with uncertainty thanks to the myriad environmental pressures it has to face. High rates of firms are being flushed out of business before they can even say the words “Where are we going wrong”. The need of the hour is predicting business failure. Fortunately, financial ratio analysis comes to the rescue. It’s a tool which provides cues of the underlying business conditions and helps in getting behind the numbers to get the real picture of a company. [1,500 words] |

Discussing the Equity
Risk Premium - Deutsche Bank [£5.99]
Equity Risk Premium (ERP) is defined as the expected return on the stock market in excess of the return on risk-free bond. ERP guides investment managers to decide how their funds should be allocated between stocks and fixed income securities and thereafter to formulate a portfolio of expected returns. ERP can be estimated by 3 methods, namely the Historical Data approach, Gordon Growth Model Approach and the Price Earnings Ratio Approach. The Historical Data Approach utilizes differences over annual returns in stocks and bonds over a long time period to estimate forward ERPs. While the use of historical data offers an easy means of estimation, the need for long periods of historical data to minimize estimation error is a disadvantage to emerging markets. The Gordon Growth Model is forward looking in that it assumes a constant dividend growth rate in the future. This is particularly applicable to developed companies where dividend payouts and real earnings are estimated based on GDP growth. [2,500 words] |

Performance and Position of Amazon.com, Inc
[£9.99]
Amazon's initial business plan was unusual: the company did not expect a profit for four to five years; the strategy was effective. Amazon grew steadily in the late 1990s while other Internet companies grew blindingly fast. Amazon's "slow" growth provoked stockholder complaints: that the company was not reaching profitability fast enough. When the dot-com bubble burst and many e-companies went out of business, Amazon persevered, and, finally, turned its first profit in the fourth quarter of 2002: U.S. $5 million, just 1¢ a share, on revenues of more than U.S. $1 billion, but the profit was symbolically important. The company remains profitable: As of September 2007, the accumulated deficit stood at U.S.$1.58 billion. Revenues increased thanks to product diversification and an international presence On November 21, 2005, Amazon entered the S&P 500 index, replacing AT&T after it merged with SBC Communications.

| FIN0014 | Global Finance: FDI Ireland
[£9.99]
Ireland’s recent economic success was partially the result of a pursuit of an export-led industrial policy lasting four decades that relied significantly on attracting inward foreign direct investment (FDI). The initial motivation behind this FDI policy was to create employment and curtail emigration from the country. It is only since 1990 that Ireland has really reaped the benefits of this strategy, a period of dramatic transformation in the Irish economy. We have witnessed this new prosperous Ireland develop and mature economically into an open globalised economy. A simple way of fully understanding the significance of the growth in the 1990’s is by reminding ourselves of the facts: in 1990, Irish gross domestic product (GDP) was valued at $57bn, by 2006 it had grown to $276.4bn, an astonishing increase of 385% and during the period 1987-2006 Ireland maintained an annual growth rate of 6% (while most other flourishing economies (E.U. and U.S.) were experiencing a growth rate of between 1 and 2%). In this paper I will attempt to demonstrate how FDI has been the engine of this transformation and the foundation for our new prosperity. I will explain the nature of foreign investment in this country and show how it has affected and aided the economy in a relatively short timeframe. I will also pinpoint the areas that FDI has had the greatest influence on and highlight both the common dangers of FDI and the threats posed Irish influence in the sector. In 2008, Ireland maintained its position as the most FDI intensive economy in Europe. We must understand why it is these multinational companies have so commonly chosen Ireland and ask ourselves what gives us that competitive advantage, why are we different?. [3,500 words] |

Tesco is now expanding its convenience stores and overseas into areas such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Poland, the US and Ireland. [3,000 words] |

– Using a Company of Your Choice
[£9.99]
According to IAS 7 net cash flow from operating activities can be calculated using either of two methods; direct method and indirect method. The direct method shows operating cash receipts and operating cash payments; including cash receipts from customers, cash payments to and on behalf of employees, cash payments to suppliers; all resulting in the ‘net cash flow from operating activities’. The indirect method begins with profit before tax and adjusts for non-cash charges and credits such as depreciation and for the movement in working capital items. In simpler terms, the direct method looks at all actual cash transactions, while with the indirect method you look at the balance sheet items in relation to the previous year to find the cash inflow and outflows from operating activities while adjusting for non-cash charges and credits such as depreciation and goodwill revaluation rather than look at specific transactions. The main advantage of the direct method is that it shows the operating cash receipts and payments, this specific knowledge of the sources of these cash receipts and for what purposes cash payments were made is especially useful when trying to forecast future cash flows. The preference of IAS 7 is that the direct method be used but does not require it. The main benefit of the indirect method is that it shows the difference between reported profits and net cash flow from operating profits. [4,000 words] |
| FIN0017 | Discuss Why Banks Are
Regulated In The UK [£5.99]
The purpose of this essay is to explain why banks are regulated in the UK and inadequacy of the previous regulatory framework linked with failing banks. Three banks will be discussed: Johnson Matthey Bankers (JMB), Barings and Northern Rock. The market conditions which contributed to cause difficulties for Northern Rock will be discussed. Why Regulate Banks? As Benston and Kaufman state in an article in the May 1996 issue of the Economic Journal, “they don't serve food that might sicken unsuspecting customers and they don't deal in dangerous materials that might explode or cause plagues. Rather, they provide checking accounts and investment services, make loans, and facilitate financial transactions.” Why should we be concerned with banks, more than other business. [2,500 words] |
