...Financial Terms and Roles University of Phoenix June 6, 2013 FIN/370 – Finance for Business Resource: Financial Management Create a list of definitions for the following terms and identify their roles in finance. See instructor policy for detailed directions. • Finance Finance is the study of how people and businesses manage and invest their money. The study of finance is the management and interpretation of information during the management of money. The study of finance helps firms address three basic questions regarding investments and cash flow. These are the following: 1.) what long-term investments the firm undertakes? 2.) How should the firm raise money to fund these investments? 3.) How can the firm best manage its cash flows as they arise in its day-to-day operations? (Titman, Keown, & Martin, Chapter 1, 2012). • Efficient market Efficient market is a market whose prices quickly respond to the announcement of new information (Titman, Keown, & Martin, Chapter 1, 2012). The stock market is an example of an efficient market. • Primary market Primary market is a part of the financial market where new security issues are initially bought and sold. In this market, firms receive money raised in the selling of their securities. They issue new securities to raise money that they can then use to help finance their businesses (Titman, Keown, & Martin, Chapter 2, 2012). * Secondary market Secondary market is the financial market...

...rapidly evolving area of international financial markets. It focuses on various aspects of international portfolio management and open-economy macroeconomics, and is a natural extension to the theories and practical issues explored in Investments and/or Finance. This course is aimed at students wishing to acquire a sound understanding of the main opportunities in international investments. For example, the relevance of hedging in the management of currency risk will be studied in light of theoretical results and empirical evidence. We will also briefly cover foreign direct investment (FDI), since in general, the revenue generated from FDI by U.S. firms is about three times as large as the revenue generated from the exporting of U.S. goods by U.S. firms. Due to the ever increasing importance of international corporate governance, there is a corresponding need to decipher and use information in financial reports. At least one class meeting and one case study will touch on some key issues in international financial reporting and analysis, such as financial disclosure/transparency, incentives for off-balance sheet liabilities, hedge accounting, lease accounting, footnote disclosures, and intercorporate equity investments, and international financial reporting differences. We will also use many real-life examples from market practices to emphasize the engineering dimensions of financial contract design (financial engineering), that market practitioners professionalize by...

Expected return (the return expected over the next period) on one asset relative to alternative assets 3. Risk (the degree of uncertainty associated with the return) on one asset relative to alternative assets 4. Liquidity (the ease and speed with which an asset can be turned into cash) relative to alternative assets 2. What are the implications of efficient market hypothesis on the academic field? 1) It implies that in an efficient capital market, one investment is as good as any other because the securities’ prices are correct. 2) It implies that a security’s price reflects all available information about the intrinsic value of the security. 3) It implies that security prices can be used by managers of both financial and nonfinancial firms to assess their cost of capital (cost of financing their investments) accurately and hence that security prices can be used to help them make the correct decisions about whether a specific investment is worth making or not. 3. What are the favorable evidence that markets are efficient? 1. Investment analysts and mutual funds don't beat the market. 2.

...Department of Finance, CYT 3943 7840 karenlee@baf.cuhk.edu.hk By Appointment B. Class Schedule Session FINA3020A FINA3020B Day Thursday Monday Time 14:30 – 17:15 14:30 – 17:15 Venue CKB UG04 WMY 406 C. Course Overview Businesses are operating in an increasingly competitive environment. Managing businesses either directly or indirectly exposed to international competition requires an understanding of currency markets, foreign exchange derivatives, exchange risk, exposure and risk management. This course assumes the viewpoint of the financial manager of a multinational corporation (MNC) with investment or financial operations in more than one country. Managers encounter new opportunities as they extend their operations into international markets, as well as new costs and risks. The challenge facing the multinational financial manager is to successfully develop and execute business and financial strategies in more than one national business environment. The aim of this course is to provide you a framework for analyzing financial decisions relating to risk management, financing and investments. These issues cannot be viewed in isolation. For instance, a U.S. corporation may be unwilling to accept a positive-NPV EUR export contract or to borrow JPY unless the exchange risk can be hedged; or a corporate loan can simultaneously serve as a hedge. Hedging is even used to facilitate asset valuation and NPV-analysis. Because the issues are linked, we...

...THE EFFECTS OF BANKING SECTOR AND STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT ON THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION BY HAFSAH AHMAD A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ECONOMICS KULLIYYAH OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA MAY 2005 1 ABSTRACT This study investigates the long-run relationship between financial development (banking sector and stock market development) and economic growth in Malaysia. Six variables based on Malaysian quarterly data from 1978:1 to 2002:4 are employed, namely real GDP per capita, investment rate and ratios of credit, deposit, market capitalization, and value of shares traded to GDP. Two dynamic frameworks are adopted - Vector Auto regression (VAR) with error correction formulation for causality analyses and dynamic OLS (DOLS) procedure for estimation of growthfinance long-run relation. Causality analyses show that there is bi-directional causality between financial development (banking sector and stock market development) and economic growth. Analyses on growth-finance long-run relations indicate that banking sector development and stock market development individually have an independent positive effect on long-run economic growth. They enhance economic growth through both channels – the volume and efficiency of investment, with the latter being the main source of their independent effect. The study also shows that...
