1 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Financial strategy is the largest corporate financial decisions that are made by the financial management committee and it is the most crucial for all organization or company for their strategy to make profit to their firms. Financial strategy also will influence the capital structure. The theory of Capital structure is closely related to the firm’s cost of capital. It is one of the effective tools of management to manage the

descriptive and inferential statistics. From descriptive method, bar-chart, frequency table and pie-chart are used to analyze the descriptive statistics and from the inferential method chi-square test to test the association between two factors and regression analysis and interpretation and two main methods used in inferential statistics, estimation and hypothesis testing.

A linear regression is worth a maximum of 5 points; a multiple regression is worth a maximum of 10 points and both are worth 13 points. You must analyze the regression(s) that you do. The better job that you do, for instance, checking the residuals and for multicollinearity, the more points you get. If you choose to do a linear regression then you must compare the list price to the square footage. You are to project out the listing price of a home that has 2750 square feet. If you choose to do the

of the demand for the product. The consultant should also describe the methodology of a multiple linear regression and its purpose in estimating a demand function. The consultant should then run a multiple linear regression in linear and multiplicative forms based on the data provided by the company and report on the estimated result. They will have to evaluate the estimated demand equations both in linear and multiplicative forms, select the one, which can best describe the consumption. The

between factors and a set of covariates are studied to understand measurement invariance and population heterogeneity. These models can include direct effects, that is, the regression of a factor indicator on a covariate in order to study measurement non-invariance. Structural equation modeling (SEM) includes models in which regressions among the continuous latent variables are estimated (Bollen, 1989; Browne & Arminger, 1995; Joreskog & Sorbom, 1979). In all of these models, the latent variables are continuous
