The three primary financial analysis techniques for real estate investment that are introduced and used in this study are Net Present Value , Internal Rate of Return , and payback period. The purpose is to demonstrate how these metrics help evaluate the profitability and efficiency of investment properties. Two residential flats were analysed over ten years using a case study approach. Cash flow models were developed to simulate rental income, maintenance costs, and taxes. The payback period indicated how long it would take to recoup the initial investment, the IRR evaluated each investment's efficiency, and the NPV calculated the present value of future cash flows. The results showed that while Flat 1 had a higher total return due to its larger value and rental income, Flat 2 provided more efficient returns with a lower initial cost. Both properties broke even after ten years, with Flat 2 offering a slightly higher IRR and better efficiency. This research highlights the limitations of these methods, such as NPV’s assumption of a constant discount rate and IRR’s overestimation of reinvestment rates. It contributes to real estate analysis by offering a structured framework for evaluating investment efficiency and profitability.

With the development of technology and the times, the global economy and business environment are constantly changing. Relying on the introduction of new business models to maintain continuous transformation and innovation capability is significant for companies to survive and thrive in a rapidly changing business environment. In an increasingly competitive business environment, the business model is a very effective conceptual strategic analysis tool. Operating a business with the right business model can accelerate the accumulation of wealth. The global market after the pandemic is filled with new challenges and opportunities, but without a perfect business model, it will be equally difficult to make money. From a business operator's or an investor’s view, learning about business models and pricing strategies is significant. A good pricing strategy can reflect the value of a business model, while the business model can address commercial issues. In this article, the author will analyze the business model and pricing strategy of a specific company. This research includes three aspects: Multi-Sided Platform Model, Service Expansion and Diversification (two aspects studying business models), and Revenue Strategies (studying pricing strategies). These parts show that, the new business model and revenue strategy effectively protect Grab's interests.

The complex interaction between China's economic dynamics from 2002 to 2022 and its real estate market is investigated in this article. It looks at the market's influence as a main economic driver, its relationships with the financial system, and regional differences in investment impacts. By means of regression analysis, the study indicates a noteworthy positive association between housing prices and the Consumer Price Index (CPI), therefore implying that inflationary pressures raise real estate values. The results underline the importance of cautious policy management to reconcile economic development with housing affordability, hence addressing regional differences and the wider consequences of inflation on housing markets. Also, the paper investigates how income inequality, urbanization rates, and government policies could shape the expansion of the real estate market. It emphasizes the importance of region-specific policies to strike a compromise between social equality and economic growth. The results give legislators trying to steady the housing market among changing economic circumstances important new perspectives.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has actually long been the basis of modern finance, supplying a structure to link risk and expected return. However, although its academic assumptions are sophisticated, they are ending up being more and more impractical in useful application. This leads to the development of different models, which are preferable for capturing the complexity of the real monetary market. This write-up initially talks about the advantages of CAPM, highlights its simplicity and fundamental function in portfolio management, and then explores its restrictions, such as unrealistic presumptions and key abnormalities such as failure to describe scale and value effects. These weak points motivate researchers and specialists to explore alternative models that can better record the intricacy of the real-world monetary market. For that reason, this paper assesses the primary option versions, including the Fama-French three-factor model, the Carhart four-factor model and the arbitrage pricing theory (APT). Although CAPM is still appropriate for basic risk-return evaluation, the multi-factor model offers a stronger framework for understanding asset pricing in intricate markets and aids to create wiser investment techniques.

The oil industry is significant regarding energy supply, economic development, strategic position, technological innovation, and international trade. Therefore, the development of the oil industry has a crucial impact on the development of the country and society, and countries are increasingly attaching importance to the green and sustainable development of their oil energy, energy supply security, and investment market environment. This research selected ExxonMobil and Chevron, the two most influential oil companies in the United States, and conducted a comprehensive analysis based on the latest various data, divided into four core dimensions, including comparison and confirmation with peer companies, analysis of accounting policy consistency, evaluation of non-monetary information, and consideration of key financial indicators. The study found that Chevron and ExxonMobil have adopted different green transformation methods based on the global trend of sustainable development. Higher risks and uncertainties accompany ExxonMobil's transformation process, and it embraces new energy more aggressively, while Chevron seeks transformation steadily. Considering that the oil industry is greatly influenced by factors such as changes in the global economic situation, fluctuations in economic cycles, trade frictions, geopolitical tensions, environmental protection, and sustainable development, the final recommendation is to invest in Chevron to ensure a higher margin of safety in the current market environment.

This essay aims to present a comprehensive financial analysis of four major media and entertainment companies—Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, and Universal (Comcast)—to evaluate their investment potential. Using key financial metrics such as the Gross Profit to Assets (GP/A) ratio, PEG ratio, and growth rates (EPS and revenue), the study compares the companies' profitability, efficiency, and valuation. Universal emerges as the most attractive investment due to its high GP/A ratio and diversified revenue streams, offering stability despite slower growth. Disney shows the highest growth in earnings but carries a higher valuation risk, while Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount face more significant challenges related to integration costs and profitability. The analysis concludes with Universal as the recommended investment, noting the associated risks of slower growth and higher valuation. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of financial metrics as tools for assessing investment opportunities in the dynamic media and entertainment industry.

The interaction between global stock markets has significant implications for international capital flow, risk diversification, and currency exchange rates, and it also has a substantial impact on global economic growth. This paper aims to explore the dynamic interaction and mutual influence between the Korean Composite Index (KOSPI) and the Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) To provide guidance and assistance to investors and corporate decision makers. This paper uses data from Jan 4, 2022, to Dec 28, 2023. By constructing VAR model, KOSPI and IXIC are analyzed, and pulse analysis and variance decomposition are used for further analysis. According to the impulse response analysis, the influence of the IXIC on the KOSPI will last for four cycles. At the same time, it is found that the influence of the KOSPI on the IXIC will last for four cycles. The variance decomposition results show that the IXIC can explain 19.33% of the market change of the KOSPI, while the KOSPI can explain 6.38% of the market change of the Nasdaq index. This study focuses on the dynamic interaction between the KOSPI and NASDAQ, filling the gap in this area of research, and providing relevant views and ideas for investors and corporate decision makers around the world.
