In most of the developed markets real estate has performed better than stock market over time. And by leveraging your investment you can increase your return on equity many folds. Cash flow component in return: This one of the best thing about real estate investments – it behaves like a fixed income security, and with better yield. Rental income makes real estate more attractive even during tough time and many investors love to focus on the cash flow. Depreciation: You can’t depreciate your stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Depreciation is a gift from the government for real estate investors. Dampening of volatility in the portfolio: Real estate prices don’t fluctuate on daily basis. Fully optimized portfolios with real estate component in it have much lower volatility. Inflation hedge: real estate investments provide a good hedge against inflation. Rents usually increase with inflation, while mortgage payments on the property remain stable. This increases cash flow component. WHY SHOULD YOU NOT INVEST IN REAL ESTATE?

...Chapter I THE PROBLEM This chapter discusses the problem of the study. It contains the background and rationale, statement of the problem and objectives, significance, scope and limitation, research design and methodology of the study. 1.1 Background and Rationale of the Study Due to increase in population size, the world today craves for a higher consumption of biodiesel, vegetable oil, health supplements, cosmetics and other food and non – food products that people cannot live without. One main source of these products is African Oil Palm. According to Escobar et al. (2008) the African Oil Palm is the most productive species among oleaginous plants. It is a traditional native crop for the West and Central African communities, occurring between Angola and Gambia. This plays a major part of the culture of Africans and they use it both in the household and in the market. The quest for renewable energy has intensified since the escalating price of crude petroleum in the recent years. Renewable energy such as biodiesel has the potential to replace petroleum – derived transportation fuel in the future. Biodiesel is a renewable and biodegradable diesel fuel extracted from plant oil. It is a natural hydrocarbon with negligible sulfur content which will substantially help in reducing emissions from diesel – fed engines. According to the study conducted in Malaysia, the African Oil Palm has properties and potential for making biodiesel. Due to this discovery, African Palm Oil...

...1. Answer the following questions about the feasibility analysis: a. What is a feasibility analysis? When should it be conducted? i. A Feasibility analysis is the process of determining if a business is viable and is an assessment of potential business. It should be conducted before the startup of a business and if business begins to fall short in more than one area involving the four components, the business should either be dropped or rethought. b.
