...Jella Mae Macalima November 24, 2014 BSTM-2B Ms.Ana Esquierdo “9 RULES OF FREEDOM OF THE AIR” The freedoms of the air are a set of commercial aviation rights granting a country's airlines the privilege to enter and land in another country's airspace, formulated as a result of disagreements over the extent of aviation liberalisation in the Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944, known as the Chicago Convention. The United States had called for a standardized set of separate air rights to be negotiated between states, but most other countries were concerned that the size of the U.S. airlines would dominate air travel if there were not strict rules. The freedoms of the air are the fundamental building blocks of the international commercial aviation route network. The use of the terms "freedom" and "right" confer entitlement to operate international air services only within the scope of the multilateral and bilateral treaties (air services agreements) that allow them. The first two freedoms concern the passage of commercial aircraft through foreign airspace and airports, the other freedoms are about carrying people, mail and cargo internationally. The first through fifth freedoms are officially enumerated by international treaties, especially...

...Finance and Financial Management Finance and financial management encompass numerous business and governmental activities. In the most basic sense, the term finance can be used to describe the activities of a firm attempting to raise capital through the sale of stocks, bonds, or other promissory notes. Similarly, public finance is a term used to describe government capital-raising activities through the issuance of bonds or the imposition of taxes. Financial management can be defined as those business activities undertaken with the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth, utilizing the principles of the time value of money, leverage, diversification, and an investment's expected rate of return versus its risk. Within the discipline of finance, there are three basic components. First, there are financial instruments. These instruments—stocks and bonds—are recorded evidence of obligations on which exchanges of resources are founded. Effective investment management of these financial instruments is a vital part of any organization's financing activities. Second, there are financial markets, which are the mechanisms used to trade the financial instruments. Finally, there are banking and financial institutions, which facilitate the transfer of resources among those buying and selling the financial instruments. In today's business environment, corporate finance addresses issues relating to individual firms. Specifically, the field of corporate finance seeks to determine...

...production and marketing activities, in such a way that it can generate the sufficient returns on invested capital, with an intention to maximise the wealth of the owners. The financial manager plays the crucial role in the modern enterprise by supporting investment decision, financing decision, and also the profit distribution decision. He/she also helps the firm in balancing cash inflows and cash outflows, and in turn to maintain the liquidity position of the firm. How does the modern financial manager differ from the traditional financial manager? Does the modern financial manager's role differ for the large diversified firm and the small to medium size firm? The traditional financial manager was generally involved in the regular finance activities, e.g., banking operations, record keeping, management of the cash flow on a regular basis, and informing the funds requirements to the top management, etc. But, the role of financial manager has been enhanced in the today's environment; he/she takes an active role in financing, investment, distribution of profits, and liquidity decisions. In addition, he/she is also involved in the custody and safeguarding of financial and physical assets, efficient allocation of funds, etc. The role of financial manager in case of diversified firm is more complicated in comparison with a small and medium size firm. A diversified firm has several products and divisions and varied financial needs. The conflicting interests of divisional...

...Response to the Finance Questions Name University Response to the Finance Questions Response to Question 1 Liquidity premium theory states that the yield obtained from the bonds that are long term are greater than the return that is expected from short-term bonds that roll over so as to compensate long-term bonds investors for bearing the risks of interest rate. Bonds that have different maturity can, therefore, have different yields regardless of the possibility of future short rates being equivalent to the present short rate. This results in a yield curve that bends upwards even if the short rates are expected to fall if liquidity premiums are sufficiently high. However if the curve slopes downwards and an assumption is made that the liquidity premiums is positive, then we can presume that future short rates would be lower than the present short rate (Lim & Ogaki, 2013). Liquidity premium theory agrees with expectations theory since it gives the same significance to the expected future spot rates though it puts more weight on the impacts of the risk preferences that exist in the market. The main concept of this theory is to compensate an investor for the additional risk of having his capital tied up for a more extended period. It, therefore, aims at enticing investors to engage in long-term investments. Due to the uncertainty associated with long-term rates which have less marketability and greater price variability, investors, therefore, need to be given higher...

...able to see the visible fruits that are the yield of good stewardship and decisions. The book of Proverbs was a series of exhortations and encouragements written by King Solomon to his son.  In chapter 23 verse 23, Solomon states, “Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.” For thousands of years, mankind has been given stewardship of resources; natural, human, intellectual and financial. The process of managing these resources, specifically financial resources, requires intentional short-term and long-term planning. More importantly, in order for capital management to be deemed successful, it is required that all members of an organization are on board. “Capital budgeting is not only important to people in finance or accounting, it is essential to people throughout the business organization”< /span> (Block, Hirt, & Danielsen, 2011). As the duration of the investment period increases, and the size of investment increases, the residual risk also increases. For a firm to effectively manage its resources it begins with the administrative considerations, ranges to the ranking of the capital investments, the strategy of selection processes and various other financial planning details and concerns. Once again, we find in Proverbs 24:3-4, “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all...

...8. Moral hazard occurs when individuals tend to be very risky when there are protections if a loss occurs. This is more likely in indirect finance. For example, when an individual purchase a new car, they insure it and their policy dictates that if an individual accidentally hits their vehicle, they are obligated to a new vehicle. So after a few years and that individual gets tired of their vehicle and is desperately in need of a new one, they would intentionally drive a bit reckless to allow someone to hit their vehicle.  Lemons problem can be both indirect and direct finance. It occurs when one party to a transaction do not have the same degree of information. The party with less information take a risk hoping that the “lemon” is a good buy. For example, in the used car industry, the seller has all the information about the car and may limit the actual reason as to why they are selling the car, the problems the car has etc. intermediaries in the financial market can reduce lemon problems by reducing the attractiveness of direct finance by offering more incencitives to individuals when acquiring finances, offer provision for information, enforce laws on information given ensuring individuals receives sufficient information. Financial intermediaries have expertise in assessing the risk of the applicant for funds that reduces adverse selection and moral hazard. They have easy access to various databases that provide information on both individuals and businesses, and they...
