1) Assessment

The paper (report) will make up 100% of the coursework assignment. The following aspects will be taken into consideration:

• Application of theory and critical analysis
• Empirical analysis (statistical, econometric analysis is appreciated but not mandatory)
• Use of source materials (e.g. EUROSTAT, OECD statistics, World Bank statistics)
• Structure (see below)
• Spelling and grammar, academic style

Paper has to include (for selected company):

• Calculation of cost of (own) equity capital (CAPM or other model)
• Calculation of cost of borrowed capital
• Calculation of WACC (in the context of optimal capital structure of a business)
• Forecasts of revenues for next 5 coming years (in the context of contributions made by investment projects, mergers and acquisitions to corporate growth)
• Simplified forecasts of financial statements (balance, income statement, cash flow statement). “Simplified” means: you can present only most important and needed, in your opinion, fragments of balance, income statement. Forecast method that you can you in this point can be based on “ratio/proportion to” (e.g. percentage of sales method) analysis. E,g. if you observed that the ratio of sales/assets or ratio of sales/current asset or any other you need is more or less stable for historical data, you can use this historical ratio to produce forecast for calculation of future assets or current assets or any other part of the statement that you can need. Of course it is more welcome to produce more detailed analysis, but lack of it will not have negative effects.
• Forecast of the rate of growth of FCFF of the company (“g”) (in the context of corporate life cycle theory)
• Estimation of the company’s share price by discounted cash flow method (DCF of FCFF)

• B- beta parameter,
• Capital structure (short and long term)

• Forecasts of investment projects (short and long term)

• Expert method/ Delphi method – reports/recommendations of stock market analyst, sector reports, forecasts of finance expert e.g. A. Damodaran, forecasts of company’s executive board, forecasts of IMF, OECD, ECB, MF, WB
• Own calculations – “standard” methods of the calculations (regression, average of historical growth, fixed proportion of base value, e.g. revenues, assets), give the reasoning for assumptions and information of:
• Own calculations – non-standard methods (based on long term interest based on inflation targeting; usage of data of competitors or whole industry; data from national statistical offices, like: tendencies of consumption of particular goods, demographics trends, etc), give the reasoning for assumptions and information of:
