Case Study
A friend has confided in you that they have recently inherited a moderately sized investment portfolio from a relative. They don’t know what to do with the assets. The friend comes to you for advice. Your immediate advice, of course, is for your friend to seek professional advice from a tax expert as well as a financial adviser. Your friend persists, however, and asks how the investment returns of the portfolio compare to other investments. You agree to review the portfolio and calculate the yields of each investment as well as determine the weighted average yield for the entire portfolio.
To complete this assignment, download and refer to the investment schedule (Excel file). For your quantitative analysis compute the current market value of each security position of the portfolio, calculate individual yields based on current market pricing, and determine the weighted average factor and the weighted average yields. 
Explain the basis upon which you determined the weighted average yield.
Explain the difference between a yield that is based on cost, as opposed to one that is based on current market value. 
What are the different uses of both?
What non-quantitative observations can you make about the portfolio?
Although you can transfer tables from Excel into Word, include the original Excel file in addition to the Word file with your submission. 
Papers will be assessed using the following criteria:
The solved solutions for: 
The current market value of each security position of the portfolio.
Individual yields (estimated current yield) based on current market pricing.
The weighted average factor.
The weighted average yields.
An explanation of how the weighted average yield was determined.
An explanation for the difference between a yield that is based on cost, as opposed to one that is based on current market value. The explanation discussed the different uses of both.
Non-quantitative observations (conclusion) about the portfolio.

Please follow the REQUIREMENT document and the EXAMPLE REPORT document to write. You need to choose three Asian stocks that could be selected based on your strategy and three that need to be avoided based on your plan. These stocks should be selected from the largest ten stocks in each Asian country from Yahoo Finance. You should develop a strategy criterion that needs to be formed by several aspects (law and finance- ownership, family capitalism, corporate groups, state capitalism, and financial crisis, etc,).

Financial Statement analysis, also otherwise known as financial analysis is a process that refers to analyzing the financial statements of an organization with the objective of ascertaining the financial situation of a business and thereafter making informed decisions regarding the business based on sound financial information. Task requirements:Choose two or more companies from same industry from FTSE 100. https://www.londonstockexchange.com/indices/ftse-100/constituents/table
Compare two or more years of their financial statements.
The analysis should be presented in tables and graphs such as pie, line and bars chart.
The analysis should be critically review and the consequences of historical data.
Professional experts conduct it in the field by assessing financial reports prepared for a financial year. So, what is financial statement analysis? It studies accounting ratios involved in financial transactions mentioned in a balance sheet.The following ratios are included in a financial statement analysis:Asset utilization ratioLeverage ratioValuation ratioProfitability ratioLiquidity ratioMarket Prospect RatiosMarket benchmarksFinancial Statement Analysis for Kier Group PLC.pdf

I’ve attached the project instructions, and an example given by the teacher, don’t use any data from example in the project, just more as what a graph can look like. My assigned developed country is canada, my assigned developing country is mexico.

1.run a financial statement analysis to determine whether you will invest in the company as a shareholder. 2.Run the analysis as of 12/31/2023 if fisal year ends on 12/31. If not, use the company’s own Fiscal year.
3. Use at least 4 ratios (must include current ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and price/earning ratio).
4. You may use the Ratio Analysis Model in the “Ratio Analysis Model” tab.

It’s time to drill down on the bond market especially since we had our market update recently. You can search FINRA.org for bonds issued by Starbucks or Boeing. If you have another company you are interested in it is okay with me if you choose it. Go to Syllabus/Course Info and look under Bond Markets, there is a wealth of information there please make sure you make good use of it. What kind of information can you find on your company, how many bonds do they have outstanding, and what countries were they issued in? What are the yields that these bonds pay? All corporate bonds in the US are priced versus US treasuries. For example, a five year bond for a corporation will have a yield that is higher than the five-year Treasury bond. That is called the spread over treasuries. What is the spread that Starbucks or Boeing or whatever company you want to look at must pay over the treasury yield curve for a specific maturity?  There is no word limit for this discussion.  If it is less than 200 words I will not grade it

International Weighted Average of Calculation Analysis
For this assignment, make certain to show your work where computations are involved and to provide thorough, well-developed answers for conceptual ones.
A large multinational firm has decided to look for investment opportunities. In order to evaluate them, it must raise capital and determine the target weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Given the following assumptions, compute the WACC:
weights of 40% debt and 60% common equity (not preferred equity),
35% tax rate,
8% cost of debt,
1.5 beta of the company,
2% risk-free rate, and
11% return on the market.
In addition to computing the WACC, calculate the expected return on equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Show the steps involved in calculating the expected return on equity using the CAPM, including the calculation of the risk premium.
Would you support this multinational corporation, which would favor financing through bonds issues, or would you rather support that it favors financing through stock issues? Be sure to provide a rationale for your argument. Consider the differences between risk and return in your analysis.
Finally, this multinational corporation has been asked to lend money for a major commercial real estate development in a foreign country. At the same time, there have been reports of a further devaluation of that foreign country’s currency. With regard to translation exposure, economic exposure (operating and transaction), and exchange risk, how would this impact your assessment of the creditworthiness of this project?
Your written analysis of this case study must be at least five pages in length. No outside sources are necessary to complete this assignment; however, APA Style should be adhered to for the overall structure of the case study. No abstract is needed.

How would you set up a cost-benefit analysis of a program to reduce air pollution in a city? Indicate the items you would include as costs and benefits, and discuss the problems encountered in measuring these benefits and costs.
Write a three-page report proposing your program to the Mayor and Council. Include in your proposal the Cost-Benefit Analysis Tableau for your proposal.

IV.
Analysis of NCAA Distribution Reports
·      
In 2022, 2023 and 2024 the NCAA’s Division I
Revenue Distribution plan consisted of distributing money among nine different
funds tailored to assisting student athletes through various ways.

to distribute over $170 million ($171,242,775 to be exact) to the Basketball Performance Fund throughout
the month of April (Source: NCAA 2024 Revenue Distribution Plan)  According to the NCAA’s Division I Revenue
distribution plan, the basketball performance fund is exclusively for male
athletics “…based on their performance in the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship
over a six-year rolling period” (NCAA Report 2024, p. 8).
