Oil & gas companies are reporting stronger cash flows and improved bottom lines. Analysts are focused on how that cash will be put to work. Do they return cash to shareholders or do they expand portfolios, possibly taking advantage of stronger market indicators? Macro factors and timing are likely to play a greater role as markets reset.

PROFESSOR'S COMMENTS.docx
1. In question 2, the model requires you to use the monthly stock returns to do the regression. By contrast, it is evident that you have used nominal stock prices instead of returns. This is totally wrong. You have not even made reference to the Discounted Cash flow model
2. In question 3 you are required to plot the actual values, the fitted values (predicted values) and the residuals and comment on model fitting. I am afraid that it apparently appears that you have not done so
3. You have not answered question four
4. You have not answered question five

ECO 520 Final Project Investment Opportunity Analysis Guidelines .docxjack60216
ECO 520 Final Project: Investment Opportunity Analysis Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
This investment opportunity analysis project is designed to guide you through the process of applying key components of advanced microeconomics theories to typical
business decisions. You will assume the role of an entrepreneur, and you will conduct an analysis focusing on an investment opportunity of your choice. In your analysis you
will carefully evaluate key factors influencing the demand for the product, cost and supply issues, the role of market structure, and competitive analysis on firm strategy.
You will also analyze the effects of government regulations and market intervention on potential profitability, and you will use price and non-price strategies to support
product introduction. Using the above analyses, the last step in your final project requires you to model the potential financial viability of the proposed new product using
approximate figures. You will determine whether or not to recommend investing in the development and commercialization of the investment opportunity to your business
partners.
This assignment will assess your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Analyze product demand, company revenues, and the effects of external market influences through the use of microeconomic principles
• Analyze organizational costs and identify technical and economically efficient methods of production and acquisition of resources through the use of microeconomic
principles and tools
• Evaluate the effect of market structure and consumer behavior on firm strategies and profitability
• Recommend pricing strategies based on marketing conditions, which improve firm profitability and can be effectively implemented
• Evaluate government regulations and interventions for their effects on business and market performance
Prompt
Develop an analytical document informed by key advanced microeconomic theories and principles. The purpose of your analysis is to assist with the decision to implement
a product or service for a start-up company (submit your product or service for approval to the instructor).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your analysis:
1. Opportunity Background and Demand: In this section you will identify an appropriate investment opportunity specific to introducing a new product or service. You
will analyze product demand and company revenues specific to this opportunity applying key economic principles to support your reasoning.
a. Background: Provide a brief background on the company, product line, and proposed product. This is where you would lay the foundation for the analysis
that follows. What is the significance of this opportunity?
1
b. Demand: Evaluate key non-price variables that are expected to support existing or potential demand specific to this opportunity and support your
evaluation with sources. For example, this is where you want to include rationale f ...

By the time you have completed this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
Conduct an industry and competitive analysis and understand why it is important.
Conduct a market analysis and understand why it is important.
Scan the general environment for any changes or trends that might favor or adversely affect the
company.
An analysis of the external environment covers the industry or segment in which the company competes, its competitors, markets, and other
relevant environmental trends and changes. The purpose is to understand how the environment relevant to the company is changing and
might change in the future --in this sense, "relevant" means anything the company might affect or could be affected by. Without such an
understanding, doing strategic planning becomes much more dif�icult.

4.1 Industry and Competitive Analysis
An industry analysis is the study of a �irm's industry and the forces that might be causing it to change. It involves using a number of standard
but indispensable tools, including Porter's �ive-forces model, industry attractiveness (part of the GE Matrix), driving forces, critical-success
factor analysis, and strategic groups, all discussed in this chapter. Because the ways in which an industry changes can dramatically affect the
decisions a company makes, an industry analysis has become a key element in strategic planning.
The word industry in "industry analysis" can mean a segment of a larger
industry or the industry itself. If a company manufactures disk drives for
personal computers, for example, it could say that it competes in the disk-
drive industry for purposes of doing a strategic analysis, even though that is
really a segment of the computer industry. What we are really analyzing is the
arena in which the company competes.
One thing to keep in mind when conducting an industry analysis is to write
down what is true for the industry, not for the company under analysis.
Sometimes industry data are easy to obtain because they are regularly
published or because trade groups or consulting �irms keep tabs on industry
statistics. However, many industries are not tracked by any group, or they
consist largely ...
Engineering design is the process of developing a system, component or process to satisfy the desired
requirements. It is a decision making process, in which the basic mathematics and engineering disciplines are
utilized to convert resources optimally to achieve a predetermined objective. It also includes a variety of
realistic constraints such as reliability, safety, economic factors, ethical and social impacts. This work proposes
a methodology and a procedure for the make-or-buy problem. Companies following this methodology are
guided through a structured sequence comprising identification of factors for the make-or-buy decision, and the
comparison of internal sourcing and external sourcing factors against each other. Multi-attribute decisionmaking
is utilized to present an overall make-or-buy decision recommendation.
he main aim of this paper is the role of Operations Research (OR) to financial markets. Subsequent to considering explanations behind the engaging quality of general finance problems to OR specialists. The primary sorts of financial market issue manageable to Operations Research are distinguished, and a portion of the numerous issues illuminated utilizing Operations Research are reported. While mathematical programming is the most generally connected procedure, and other reproduction techniques are progressively broadly utilized. Operations Research now assumes an imperative part in the operation of financial markets and this significance is probably going to increment, making the open door for OR (and operations researchers) to assume a considerably more noteworthy part.
Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Executive Summary
This project began with a focus on how oil refineries are adapting to the new business
environment brought on by the United States oil shale revolution, but shifted scope to exploration and
production of oil, due to the results found during elicitation. As a result, this paper is of use to vertically
integrated firms and firms considering integrating either up or downstream. Producers looking
downstream need to be aware of the complexities in the refining arena and patient so as not to invest in
the wrong technologies. Upstream integrators can use the information found here as a starting place for
deciding if exploration and production makes financial sense – i.e. before obtaining expertise brought
through acquisition or consultation.
Business Problem Review
In June 2008 all the major oil benchmarks hit highs between $145 & $147/barrel. We recently hit
a low of $27/barrel. Many analysts and amateurs have tried to predict the ebb and flow of the supply and
demand for oil --- making statements such as “Oil prices doubled last year,even if people did not see the
price of their petrol double. The reason for this is simple: global demand for oil, particularly from
developing countries like China and India, is rapidly catching up to global supply (Our World, n.d.)” If
only it were that simple --- we would all be trading futures. The reality is that there are a myriad of
variables affecting the price and supply of oil.

U.S. oil shale estimates definitely played their part. This project began with a focus on how oil
refineries are adapting to this new business environment, but shifted scope to exploration and production
of oil, due to the results found during elicitation.

Elicitation Techniques
Schedule of activities
A. Stakeholder Selection – Decision makers (C-suite) at US oil refineries. If possible,
attempt to obtain a relatively even number of respondents per region and based on
refinery size. At a minimum, notate refinery size, location, and respondent’s position
within company so that the results can be filtered for analysis with a more specific
focus.
B. Analysis Techniques - The respondents will be contacted by email and/or phone. A
survey will be administered.

Survey Description and Question(s)
(For a full description of the rationale behind each question see week 3 Survey Monkey Essay.)
The goal behind the survey is twofold:
1. Use quantitative questions to gain insight into the change/risk management policies of domestic oil
refineries and..
2. Use qualitative questions to elicit information to guide the development of additional quantitative
questions for future surveys.
Questions
Q1: Isthe liftof the UnitedStatescrude exportbana positive,negative,orinconsequential development
for your business?
Q2: Why or Why Not?
Q3: Is US storage capacity an issue you consider? (1-10)
Q4: How large of a factor is the 2016 election in your risk management strategy? (1-10)

Q5: Have you converted or do you plan to convert your refineries from overseas heavy crude to light
sweet (shale) oil?
Q6 :( If Yes to previous Q) What percentage of your refining capacity do you plan to convert?
Q7: Do you use a price per barrel break even analysis to justify new capital expenditures?
Q8: What is your price per barrel needed for profitability?
Q9: How much lower do you think the price of oil can go?
Q10: Comments – Any key items we missed?
Survey Conclusion
As of thistime,the surveysize istoosmall,and/orthe surveyrespondentsspantowide avariety

of the issuesdiscussedinthissurveyare interrelated.Forexample,the choicetoconvertrefiningfacilities
dependsonthe politicalandlegal environment.One factoroverlookedwhendesigningthe questionswas
the industry structure. The majority of firmsare vertically integrated,from production through refining,
distribution, and marketing. Questions such as “price per barrel for profitability” would be ok for
independentrefiners,butirrelevantforverticallyintegratedfirmsbecause productionscostsare passed
throughall the way to end consumers.The surveyresultsinformusthat we needto narrow our focusin

We will nowprocessmodel the valuechainand thenfunctionallydecompose our/competitors
costs. This shoulduncoveranycostsavingcapabilitiesnotfoundearlier. Atthispointwe shouldhave
enoughinformationto conductaMoSCoW analysis (Musthave, Shouldhave, Couldhave,and Would
like butwon'tget) on the capabilitygapswe have discovered. Ourrequirementsare now organizedand
prioritized.Atthispoint,itwouldbe nice tohave KeyPerformanceIndicator(s) forourAcceptance and
Evaluation Criteria.Essentiallywe want adefinite answertowhetherornotwe shouldgoaheadwith

basedon the KPIchosen. We will still use the same sourcesof information,andthe equations
introducedinenterprise analysiswill remainthe same –the swimlane diagramjustmapsthe options
available tochange the valuesof those fourvariables.
My examplesare usingcapitalizationrate (the numberof yearsitwill take forincome toreach
the cost of the capital expenditure atpurchase).Ichose thisbecause afterourcapital expenditure is
paidoff,our marginperbarrel will be higher(nointerest!).
