...The 14 essays convey many interesting ideas. I am very impressed by some analysis which gives very technical and detailed description. These works have shown that you have great potential to go further, either to a comprehensive report for practical consultancy or to deepen the knowledge for academic research. However, there are some problems that I must mention for your future work. • Lack of theoretical foundations: Some reports just filled the paper with lots of facts, figures and data. The question follows is often “and so what?” The report will be more scientific based if you provide some explanations linking to the theories and interpretations we learned in the class. Present your shining points first: Many reports just give the introduction as a general description of the background of the selected companies. However, a more important part expected in these reports is your research questions and key points of analysis. If you don’t highlight the shining points from the beginning, you make your report less worthy of further reading. Coordination problem: I found some reports give strongly contradict results. I understand that you just share the task among the team members. But at least you must have something complete and logically right. Avoid using abbreviations for words that are less frequently used (eg. ADS, ROI, OTC…). If you insist to use, please write the full words for the first time you employ them. Reference of data: Some reports provides lots of data without mentioning...

...is shown in detail how interest-free bank functions besides many established conventional banks in the country. Although conventional banks are rendering financial services in Bangladesh for a long period still, the innovation of interest-free banking systems, proved its worth in the country’s money market, since IBBL started rendering banking services without any interest in the nation’s financial market in recent years. The article mainly consists of two sections. In the first section, an introduction of Islamic banking systems and various financing modes or techniques used by Islamic banks, are discussed. The second section includes a short history of the Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) along with an empirical based detailed accounts of its financial activities in the country since the introduction of this financial institution in the financial system of Bangladesh. Introduction The introduction of interest-free and equity-based financing by the Islamic banking system is based on the principles of Islamic economics. The aim of Islamic economics, as observed by Molla et.al. (1988), is not only the elimination of interest based transactions and the introduction of the zakah (contribution to poor) system but also the establishment of just and balanced social order free from all kinds of exploitation. The Islamic banking system is highlighted in the World Development report (1989, Box 6.3), as under; “ Islamic banks offer savers risky open-ended mutual fund...

THE SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH PAPER: It is a survey research paper presenting the results of the cost of capital survey of advisors, corporations etc showing a close alignment among the groups on the use of common theoretical framework and on many aspects of estimation. Variations are found on large number of joint choices regarding cost of capital. 2. INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC: The paper is about presenting evidence that how some of the most financially sophisticated companies and financial advisers estimate capital cost. The evidence to be presents is valuable in several aspects. First is to identify the most important ambiguities in the application of cost of capital theory and the second is helping interested companies benchmarking their cost of capital estimation practices against best practice peers. Third is that the evidence sheds light on the accuracy with which the capital costs can be reasonably estimated. The cost of capital can be computed by the following, i. The weighted average cost of capital. ii. Sample selection. iii. Survey findings. iv. Impacts of various assumptions for using CAPM. 3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: This paper presents the results of cost of capital survey...

...REVISED FEBRUARY 11, 2015 CRAIG FURFINE KEL553 Wildcat Capital Investors: Real Estate Private Equity “Okay. Now we’re even,” said the voice on the telephone. As he hung up the phone, James Tripp, managing director of Wildcat Capital Investors, thought back to that beautiful summer evening two years earlier when he was about to enter Ravinia Park to enjoy a performance of the Chicago Symphony with his friend, commercial real estate broker Katherine O’Brien. The sound of scraping metal had caught Tripp’s attention just in time for him to save O’Brien’s life—or so he liked to claim—by blocking an approaching bicyclist headed straight for O’Brien in a reckless attempt to cross the track ahead of an oncoming train. At the time Tripp had joked, “Now you owe me.” Referring to the opportunity to purchase a piece of commercial property before the sale became public knowledge, he continued, “How about showing me a great off-market deal some day?” Now, in September 2009, it seemed that O’Brien had indeed returned the favor. The opportunity O’Brien had just briefly outlined on the phone sounded perfect for Wildcat. Financial Commons was a 90,000-square-foot office property located in the Chicago suburb of Skokie. The building was 90 percent occupied and was being offered for what seemed like an incredible price of $10.4 million. Given the bleak commercial market environment at the time, such opportunities were few and far between. But Tripp knew there were many factors...

...Accounting-Based Regulation in Emerging Capital Markets * Current content: Executive Summary * Current content: Introduction * Current content: Costs of Accounting-Based Regulation * Current content: Benefits of Accounting-Based Regulation * Case Study * Making It Happen Executive Summary * Securities regulation is vital to the development of an efficient capital market. * Accounting-based regulation embeds accounting numbers as a threshold. * There are both benefits and costs to accounting-based regulation. * The costs of accounting-based regulation include opportunistic behavior by management to manipulate accounting numbers, and capital resource misallocation. * The benefits of accounting-based regulation include the potential to mitigate resource misallocation by preventing poorly performing firms from entering the market and to avoid “adverse selection problems” by managers. * Recent Chinese regulations on rights offerings and seasoned equity offerings shed light on the costs and benefits of accounting-based regulation in emerging capital markets. Introduction One of the most controversial debates in economic policy is: Should governments intervene in or regulate capital markets? Pure free-marketeers believe that the “invisible hand” can correct all market failures. However, advocates of intervention characterize the regulation process as one in which government intervention corrects market failures and maximizes social welfare. In...
