OberoiRealty
This document provides a valuation of Oberoi Realty, an Indian real estate development company. It uses two methods: discounted cash flow analysis and relative valuation using comparables. For DCF, it calculates WACC, estimates future cash flows growing 23.69% for 10 years then 8%, and discounts to get a per-share value of Rs. 280.60. Relative valuation using comparable companies yields a two-stage model value of Rs. 258.86. The conclusion is Oberoi Realty is undervalued versus the intrinsic value and recommends a strong buy with a Rs. 280 target price. Limitations include lack of some required data points and not accounting for macroeconomic or investor perception factors.
multiple regression
Multiple regression allows researchers to use several independent variables simultaneously to predict a continuous dependent variable. It fits a mathematical equation to the data that describes the overall relationship between the dependent variable and independent variables. The equation can be used to predict the dependent variable value based on the values of the independent variables. The technique is useful for social science research where phenomena are influenced by multiple causal factors.
Forecasting SEO Traffic & Revenue
Jon Quinton discusses how to create a credible forecast for SEO traffic and revenue. He recommends using past organic traffic data, search volume trends, rankings, conversion rates, and average order values. A forecast should review seasonality, consider key upcoming events, estimate nominal monthly growth, and apply seasonality. The forecast should provide a range of results and clearly explain assumptions and caveats. Regular reviews are important to track progress and update goals.
Using Financial Forecasts to Advise Business - Method of Forecasting - Revised
This document discusses various methods for forecasting future financial needs, including qualitative and quantitative approaches. It outlines steps in the forecasting process such as projecting sales, expenses, investment needs, and determining financing requirements. Specific forecasting techniques are described, such as naive forecasts, moving averages, regression analysis, and more. The document also covers financial analysis methods like ratio analysis, variance analysis, benchmarking, and break-even analysis. Finally, it discusses top-down vs. bottom-up forecasting and different approaches to building budgets such as incremental, zero-based, and activity-based budgeting.
Quantitative methods applied to taxes forecasting
This document provides an overview of a term project completed by Team 5 for their QMB6603 Quantitative Methods in Business course. The project involved forecasting property tax expenses and conducting a decision analysis for Barron Collier Company's property portfolio.

The seasons of Indian life insurance - a sample
The document discusses how understanding seasonality in life insurance sales can help insurance companies run their business operations more profitably. It notes that simply knowing that sales are usually highest in March each year is not enough, and poses questions about trends in different months, between public and private insurers, and for different product types.

From Hope to Despair The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics.pptx
From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Statistics for managers, Multiple regression analysis
- 1. Statistics For Managers Live-Project On Multiple Regression Analysis
- 2. Project Introduction • Under this project, we collected sales data from an insurance brooking company “NetAmbit Insurance Brooking Pvt Ltd.”, for consecutive 30 months starting from July-2010 to December-2012. • By using Graphical data representation technique, we made histogram and scattering diagrams for the available data. • We identified independent variables, & thereafter used “Minitab” Statistical software tool to obtain Multiple regression equation.
- 3. Data Overview • Data Obtained, included: • Number if Insurance Policies sold monthly • Premium received (month-wise) • Brokerage received (month-wise) • Interval : July-2010 to December-2012 • In specified Interval, the company generated an approximate Revenue of 400 Crores.

- 11. Cause of Problem Independent Variable Name Cause New Financial Year As April marks the beginning of a new Financial year, people do not generally feel a need to purchase life insurance policy and therefore the sales show a downward trend during the month of April JFM ended *(JFM = Jan + Feb + Mar) Most of the people tend to purchase the policies by the end the financial year, in the month of JAN-MAR for Tax planning, which becomes a prime reason for low sales in the month of April
- 12. Premium paid during JFM months Premium for policies like LIC, etc. have to be paid By the end of a financial year which impacts the financial position of the customers affecting their ability to buy new policies during this period. Now the propensity to save is more evident. Impact of other expenses People are burdened with other expenses in the beginning of a new financial year which also affects the sale of life insurance policies. Some of the expenses may be the academic fees of children, interest on loans, Independent Variable Name Cause of Problem Cause of Problem
- 13. Limitation Faced • We rationally came up with independent variable, as discussed before. • But Multiple Regression Analysis using MINITAB, required discrete numeric values available in Companies data. • So, we had to take following numbers to determine multiple regression equation: • Number of Policies sold • Premium Received • Brokerage Received
- 14. Multiple Regression Equation Equation Obtained using MINITAB: Premium = 405048 + (3735 x Policy count) + (3.45 x Brokerage) Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant 405048 217536 1.86 0.063 Policy count 3735.3 137.8 27.11 0.000 Brokrage In 3.4499 0.1123 30.73 0.000 S = 3498572 R-Sq = 94.2% R-Sq(adj) = 94.2%
- 15. Conclusion and Solution • Being Insurance brooking company, sales see a dip during April, because customers have spent enough money during JFM months and they tend to save money after that. • Hence in this case, as a brooking company, I know that principal cost of booking a policy cannot be decreased by policy issuing firm, though my brokerage charges can be decreased by my side, so the grand total amount paid my customer is decreased, and as a result policy count will increase. • This can be said as P-value for brokerage is 0.00, making this independent variable as a significant predictor of premium.
