FINANCE ASSIGNMENT
MA MANAGEMENT AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS FINANCE ASSIGNMENT Financial information maybe, in simple terms, understood as information with regards to the functioning of the enterprise and details of its resources. Accounting of financial information is all about providing data that helps to understand the financial position of the organisation, how resources have been used, future changes etc. It is a part of communication. Proper accounting of financial information is essential and it also helps in proper decision-making. Previously financial information used to be communicated only internally. But with the rise in growth and globalisation, there has been communication of financial information externally too. There are several users of financial information. The users of financial reports use the information obtained from financial statements for specific purposes. Investors, competitors, suppliers, government agencies, general public, employees etc. are some of the various user groups. But there are differences in the way financial information is reported in different countries. The accounting standards are different in different countries. "Accounting of financial information differs in content and application from country to country. In some situations accounting differences lead potentially to inefficiencies, missed opportunities and distortions of economic behaviour."
PEST Analysis
Shahid Islam PEST Analysis Pest Analysis is a way looking at how external factors will affect the business. 'PEST' stands for Political, Economical, Social and Technological issues. Political issues involve how different laws affect a business, for instance Trades Description Act. Economic Issues involve how the state of the economy affects businesses, e.g. interest rates. Social issues look at how social factors affect businesses, e.g. concerns about obesity. Technological issues look at factors on how technology assists businesses, for instance the growth of the Internet in recent years. Political Issues All businesses have to abide by laws and rules in this country. The government enforces these laws for the good of the business and themselves. There are few political issues which affect the business and these mainly are: - Direct Tax and Indirect Tax - Local Authorities - Consumer and the law - Employment and the law - Environment and the law 'Direct Tax' and 'Indirect Tax' both come under the heading of Fiscal Policy. This is when the government attempts to influence demand in the economy through its spending and taxation policy. For instance, if the government increases taxes, people will have less money to spend on goods and services, i.e. disposable income. Therefore, the demand will be reduced and businesses won't make as much profit or turnover. If

COMMUNICATIONS SATILLITE CORPORATION AN ANALYSIS OF DR. WILLARD T. CARLTON'S DEBT EQUITY RISK PREMIUM APPROACH I. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Did Professor Willard Carleton do a reasonable job of estimating the cost of common equity for Communications Satellite Corporation for 1964 - 1975? II. FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK Debt Equity Risk Premium The financial framework used by Dr. Willard T. Carleton is the Debt Equity Risk Premium (DERP). The cost of equity equals the cost of debt plus an equity risk premium and is represented by the following equation: Ke = Kd + ERP1 Cost of Debt As shown above, the DERP model uses a firm's cost of debt as a starting point for the formula and adds a risk premium to it to determine the appropriate cost of equity. When the company has no debt to establish a starting point, the risk-free rate may be used instead, but to some disadvantage. There are similarities and differences between the risk-free rate of return and the cost of debt. They both account for the rate of inflation and long-term rates include a maturity risk premium. The cost of debt also includes a risk premium for the risk of liquidity, marketability, and default that is not a part of the risk-free rate. Government bonds can be used to determine the appropriate risk-free rate. Either T-bonds or T-bills can be used for this determination. The length of the project should play a
