Financial managers play a crucial role in overseeing the fiscal health of the company, making strategic decisions to optimize resources, manage budgets, and ensure financial stability. They are responsible for financial planning, forecasting, and risk management to support the organization's short-term and long-term goals. Additionally, financial managers must stay informed about market trends, economic conditions, and regulatory changes that may impact the financial landscape.

These risks include; credit risk liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, foreign exchange risk, solvency risks, operational risks and model risk. Which of the following is not true about credit risk? Select one: a. Performance risk is similar to credit risk. The borrower´s performance on an operation or specific project determines the degree of transaction risk. b. Measures based on the credit quality of the debt. As ratings are ordinal measures, they are sufficient to value credit risk. c. The risk of the issuers and borrowers are evaluated in prices in a capital market setting and can be seen visibly, or through credit spreads, or as add-ons to the risk-free rate. d. Credit risk is similar to country risk, which is essentially the risk crisis in a country. Examples of…arrow_forwardIt is January 1 of year 0, and Merck is trying to determine whether to continue development of a new drug. The following information is relevant. You can assume that all cash flows occur at the ends of the respective years. Clinical trials (the trials where the drug is tested on humans) are equally likely to be completed in year 1 or 2. There is an 80% chance that clinical trials will succeed. If these trials fail, the FDA will not allow the drug to be marketed. The cost of clinical trials is assumed to follow a triangular distribution with best case 100 million, most likely case 150 million, and worst case 250 million. Clinical trial costs are incurred at the end of the year clinical trials are completed. If clinical trials succeed, the drug will be sold for five years, earning a profit of 6 per unit sold. If clinical trials succeed, a plant will be built during the same year trials are completed. The cost of the plant is assumed to follow a triangular distribution with best case 1 billion, most likely case 1.5 billion, and worst case 2.5 billion. The plant cost will be depreciated on a straight-line basis during the five years of sales. Sales begin the year after successful clinical trials. Of course, if the clinical trials fail, there are no sales. During the first year of sales, Merck believe sales will be between 100 million and 200 million units. Sales of 140 million units are assumed to be three times as likely as sales of 120 million units, and sales of 160 million units are assumed to be twice as likely as sales of 120 million units. Merck assumes that for years 2 to 5 that the drug is on the market, the growth rate will be the same each year. The annual growth in sales will be between 5% and 15%. There is a 25% chance that the annual growth will be 7% or less, a 50% chance that it will be 9% or less, and a 75% chance that it will be 12% or less. Cash flows are discounted 15% per year, and the tax rate is 40%. Use simulation to model Mercks situation. Based on the simulation output, would you recommend that Merck continue developing? Explain your reasoning. What are the three key drivers of the projects NPV? (Hint: The way the uncertainty about the first year sales is stated suggests using the General distribution, implemented with the RISKGENERAL function. Similarly, the way the uncertainty about the annual growth rate is stated suggests using the Cumul distribution, implemented with the RISKCUMUL function. Look these functions up in @RISKs online help.)arrow_forward
- In the 1990’s, almost 70 percent of qualified Ghanaians used the banks. That percentage has now fallen to less than 30 percent due to the introduction of the mobile money technology. Some banking institutions such as Ghana commercial bank, fidelity bank, etc. have tried to deal with this threat by developing their own mobile money apps. Research these bank-based mobile money apps and the regulatory environment regarding them, then write a report advising the banking institutions in Ghana on the opportunities and threats posed by this technology. Discuss some cultural trends in Ghana. Research one of them in depth and write a report on the trend’s impact on marketing in the country.

- Based on your understanding of portfolio risk, identify whether each statement is true or false. Statement True False A portfolio’s risk is likely to be smaller than the average of all stocks’ standard deviations, because diversification lowers the portfolio’s risk. Because of the effects of diversification, the portfolio’s risk is likely to be more than the average of all stocks’ standard deviations. Portfolio risk will increase if more stocks that are negatively correlated with other stocks are added to the portfolio. The unsystematic risk component of the total portfolio risk can be reduced by adding negatively correlated stocks to the portfolio.arrow_forward(3) How to interpret relationship between changes of GDP growth rate and unemployment rate?
