This paper exposes that the technique economic value added (EVA) can contribute to measure other aspects involved in financial decisions for associative groups omitted in traditional indicators of project evaluation, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) such as i) evaluation of the productive activity of the associated strategies popular and solidarity economy ii) quantifying the profitability generated by the implementation of the project, iii) identifying the main impacts generated by implementing the creation of the company and iv) the identification of the economic value added. This tool permits the employment of probabilistic scenarios, in order to simulate changes in the input parameters for determining when the EVA tends to zero, making a comparative analysis with the NPV.

  • Capital Budgeting Model and Sensitivity Analysis of the Project Feasibility in Vietnam for the Period of 2019-2037
    International Journal of Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 17, Issue 2 (December) ISSN 2289-1552 2018 CAPITAL BUDGETING MODEL AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT FEASIBILITY IN VIETNAM FOR THE PERIOD OF 2019-2037 Dini Mentari Wiwiek Mardawiyah Daryanto ABSTRACT Oil and gas sector has long been a major pillar of the economics of Indonesia before the fall in oil prices in 2013. In 2016, this sector contributed USD 23.7 Billion to the country’s GDP, or about 3.3 % of the country’s economy. However, the total of oil and gas production declined around 4.41% per year since 2007, and the sharpest decline was in 2013. This situation gave impact to the performance of the industry, especially to the government revenues. The purpose of this study is to measure the feasibility of oil and gas industry investment project as an option to generate other revenue stream in a foreign country, Vietnam, for the period of 2019 – 2037. Capital Budgeting Model indicators: Payback Period, Return on Investment (ROI), Net Present Value (NPV), NPV Index, Discounted Payback Period, and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) were used to analyze the data, and sensitivity analysis. The calculation shows that the capital budgeting indicators fulfilled the standard required. This study will be beneficial for the investor to explore other revenue stream opportunity to generate higher return. Keywords: Capital budgeting model, net present value, internal rate of returns, project feasibility, other revenue 1. INTRODUCTION The oil and gas industry, both in Indonesia and globally, has experienced dramatic volatility. Global political-economic situations are believed to drive the sensitivity of oil prices.

  • THE COLLAPSE of BARINGS BANK and LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC: an ABRIDGED VERSION Juabin Matey, Bcom, UCC, Ghana. Mgoodluck369
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 8 October 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0006.v3 THE COLLAPSE OF BARINGS BANK AND LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC: AN ABRIDGED VERSION Juabin Matey, Bcom, UCC, Ghana. [email protected] James Dianuton Bawa, MSc (Student) Industrial Finance and Investment, KNUST, Ghana. [email protected] ABSTRACT Bank crisis is mostly traced to a decrease in the value of bank assets. This occurs in one or a combination of the following incidences; when loans turn bad and cease to perform (credit risk), when there are excess withdrawals over available funds (liquidity risk) and rising interest rates (interest rate risk). Bad credit management, market inefficiencies and operational risk are among a host others that trigger panic withdrawals when customers suspect a loss of investment. This brief article makes a contribution on why Barings Bank and Lehman Brothers failed and lessons thereafter. The failure of Barings Bank and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc was as a result of an array of factors spanning from lack of oversight role in relation to employee conduct the course performing assigned duties to management’s involvement in dubious accounting practices, unethical business practices, over indulging in risky and unsecured derivative trade. To guide against similar unfortunate bank collapse in the near future, there should be an enhanced communication among international regulators and authorities that exercise oversight responsibilities on the security market. National bankruptcy laws should be invoked to forestall liquidity crisis so as to prevent freezing of margins and positions of solvent customers. © 2020 by the author(s).

  • A Note on Sources
    A Note on Sources Transactional data It took considerable research to put together the tables for this book. The volume of information to be captured has of course exploded in recent years, with 2007 taking the record for the most private equity related transactions. But the most difficult tables to research were those in earlier years. During the period 1984–1995 the biggest challenge was that many of today’s current M&A news services were not active, including merger market and initiative Europe’s Deutsche Unquote. For more recent years, reliance on these two sources would provide approximately 80% coverage of the transactions. The next challenge is that a number of the early players in the 1984–1995 period are no longer in operation, and consequently have no internet pages or latter- day coverage. Consequently, for the early years we have had to give greater reliance on information from interviews which may not be as complete as for later years. Confirmation of information gained in inter- views has been mainly achieved (where possible) through consulting the “history” sections of the internet pages of the companies involved. For the more recent years we were greatly assisted by having access to Bain & Company’s collection of the buyout data for the period 1996–2003, and L.E.K. Consulting’s data for period 2002–2009. An additional useful source for the period 1998–2003 were the tables from Nico Reimers’ “Private Equity für Familienunternehmen”. We have included in our tables transactions closed in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Various terms are used to define this region, most notably “German-speaking region” or “DACH” (based upon car licence plate abbreviations for the three countries).

Let’s look a little more closely at capital budgeting—the possible decision rules that can tell you whether to accept or reject projects. You already know the answer to the mystery, though: NPV is best. Still, there is one very important alternative to NPV: the internal rate of return, which generalizes the rate of return concept and can often give you good recommendations, too. You will see how these approaches fit together. One caveat—although you already know the concept of NPV,and although you will learn more about capital-budgeting rules in this chapter, most of the interesting and difficult issues in NPV’s application are delayed until Chapter 13 (i.e., after we have covered uncertainty and imperfect markets). 4.1 Net Present Value Recap: NPV is the most You have already learned how to use NPV in our perfect world. You first translate cash flows important building block in at different points in time into the same units—dollars today—before they can be compared or finance. You must be able to added. This translation between future values and present values—and its variant, net present compute it in your sleep. value—ranks among the most essential concepts in finance. But why is NPV the right rule to use? The reason is that, at least in our perfect world with perfect information, a positive-NPV project is the equivalent of free money.

    Article A Methodology for Determining the Profitability Index of Real Estate Initiatives Involving Public– Private Partnerships. A Case Study: The Integrated Intervention Programs in Rome Fabrizio Battisti * and Orazio Campo Department of Architecture and Design, Sapienza University of Rome, Via Flaminia 359, 00196 Rome, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-338-1079177 Received: 8 February 2019; Accepted: 23 February 2019; Published: 5 March 2019 Abstract: In the European Union, real estate initiatives involving public–private partnerships (PPPs) are characterized by the payment of a charge, which is generally used for public purposes (and works). In Italy, since the 1990s, PPPs have also been used to start negotiated initiatives giving the possibility of modifying town planning forecasts. Such initiatives are aimed at increasing the value of private properties and, through the charge, financing public works. This charge was regulated only in 2014 with the change of Article 16, paragraph 4, point d-ter of the Presidential Decree 380/2001 (Consolidated building law) and was named the “extraordinary urbanization contribution” (or simply the “extraordinary contribution”). The extraordinary contribution makes it possible to finance public works with private monetary resources. The amount of the extraordinary contribution is not less than 50% of the capital gain that is produced by real estate initiatives concerning modifications to town planning forecasts. A crucial issue of the this kind of PPPs has always been the appraisal of the capital gain of real estate initiatives due to changes in town planning forecasts. The factors to be considered while evaluating the extraordinary contribution, the appraisal tools and procedures to be used in assessing the capital gain are not indicated at regulatory level.
