3.Define the time adjusted technique and explain in detail about any two methods in detail.

2. Answer : Seasonal adjustment is a statistical method for removing the seasonal component of a time
series that is used when analyzing non-seasonal trends. It is normal to report seasonally adjusted
data for unemployment rates to reveal the underlying trends in labor markets.[1] Many economic
phenomena have seasonal cycles, such as agricultural production and consumer consumption, e.g.
greater consumption leading up to Christmas. It is necessary to adjust for this component in order to
understand what underlying trends are in the economy and so official statistics are often adjusted to
remove seasonal components.
4.Describe the process of determining optimal portfolio.
Answer : The optimal portfolio concept falls under the modern portfolio theory. The theory assumes
(among other things) that investors fanatically try to minimize risk while striving for the highest
return possible. The theory states that investors will act rationally, always making decisions aimed at
maximizing their return for their acceptable level of risk.
The optimal portfolio was used in 1952 by Harry Markowitz, and it shows us that it is possible for
different portfolios to have varying levels of risk and return. Each investor must decide how much
risk they can handle and than allocate (or diversify) their portfolio according to this decision.
5.Discuss the types of risks associated with organising projects in India
What is a PPP? What are the basic characteristics of a PPP project?
Answer : All projects start off with a bang. Yet, some are destined for failure from its very inception,
whilst others collapse later on.
Types of risks associated with organising projects in India :
Scope Risk
Defining what is required is not always easy. However, so as to ensure that scope risk is
minimized, the deliverables, the objectives, the project charter, and of course, the scope
needs to be clearly defined.
6.Discuss project planning along with life cycle of a project. Discuss about the pre-requisites
required for the successful project implementation.
Answer : Key Aspects of Project Lifecycle
Three aspects of this planning process merit special attention.

3. 1. Setting goals and estimating costs.
Each stage of the project lifecycle process involves setting clear goals for the next step and
estimating the cost of reaching those goals. If the necessary funds or time are unavailable, it is better
to stop the process than to continue and see the project fail. The process can begin again when
funds are available.
