...For this project you will assume the role of a portfolio manager. As part of your new assignment, you have seven stocks under management. Your task is to determine how your seven stocks are performing in your portfolio. Your first set of analysis will focus on the assumption that there are no short sale constraints on your holdings and one smaller set of analysis that will focus on the effect of a short sale constraint on your performance. Portfolio Theory Analysis 1. Perform a portfolio analysis for your seven firms that comprise your portfolio using the spreadsheet I presented in class as a template. Please keep to my template because I find it easier to read after you hand it in when the format is just as I have specified (using a spreadsheet that is worse or different than what I did in class is not a good idea). Some notes/hints/reminders on the spreadsheet and on this valuation assignment: * First off, be sure to reproduce my results in my spreadsheet before you begin the analysis on your portfolio. I have separate tabs for the separate analysis that I have performed so you should be able to reproduce my results before your forge ahead with your analysis. Make sure that you order your data from the most recent date to the last date using as much data as I have on my spreadsheet. Failure to do so will result in a very poor grade. * You will need to be able to manipulate SOLVER for this analysis, but given your experience in your summer corporate class...

...TECHNOLOGY COURSE TITLE: FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT TEACHER: FAIZA SAJJID ASSIGNMENT NO: 02 TOPIC: IMPORTANCE OF RISK AND RETURN SUBMITTED BY: MUBASHIR TARIQ, JASIM RASHID, WAQAS AHMAD REGISTRATION NO: FA10-BBA-043, 048, 035 DATED: 26/9/2012 TOPIC: IMPORTANCE OF RISK AND RETURN IN FINANCIAL MARKETS RISK: In normal terms; Risk is the potential that a chosen action or activity (including the choice of inaction) will lead to a loss (an undesirable outcome). The notion implies that a choice having an influence on the outcome exists (or existed). Potential losses themselves may also be called "risks". In finance, risk is the probability that an investment's actual return will be different than expected. This includes the possibility of losing some or all of the original investment. In a view advocated by Damodaran, risk includes not only "downside risk" but also "upside risk" (returns that exceed expectations). Some regard a calculation of the standard deviation of the historical returns or average returns of a specific investment as providing some historical measure of risk; see modern portfolio theory. Financial risk may be market-dependent, determined by numerous market factors, or operational, resulting from fraudulent behavior (e.g. Bernard Madoff). Recent studies suggest that testosterone level plays a major role in risk taking during financial decisions. In finance, risk has no one definition, but some...

...Corporate Finance 1 Group assignment (Version 1) Group assignment instructions The objective of the group assignment is to promote deep thinking on a selected range of topics and to develop your practical quantitative modelling skills. The assessment is a group assignment and should be performed in your allocated groups (usually between 4 and 6 people). Seeking assistance from anyone outside your group or providing assistance to any other group constitutes academic misconduct and will be taken seriously by the university (however, you are allowed to provide assistance to the other members of your own group). If there is any significant similarity between the reports submitted by two or more groups for a particular question, then those group leaders will score zero for that question in the assignment. The mark for the rest of the group will be unaffected. Further action may be taken by the university against any specific group members who have obtained or provided assistance The assignment includes 6 questions (each with sub-parts). Your group must attempt one question for each person in the group (minimum 4 and maximum 6). Four of the questions are compulsory and must be attempted by all groups. The remaining two questions are optional and will be attempted by groups with more than 4 people (or individuals in a group of 4 who would like to lead 2 questions). Each member of your group should take the role of leader for 1 or 2 questions. It is expected that the leader...
