Budgeting process in my organisation

Budgeting in my organization is required to establish control over the funds and create effective financial strategy. For an effective budgeting process the financial structure of the enterprise includes a set of financial responsibility centers (FRC). For each of them, corresponding budgets are formed separately. The main duty FRC is to collect the costs of the planned period, distribute these costs by month, as well as provide data to Finance managers for analysis and strategy development.

The budgetary process includes: planning, control, evaluation and analysis. Stages of the budget process in the company:

– Plan-fact analysis of the previous period;

– Preparing a consolidated budget for the reporting period

– Control over the execution of the consolidated budget of the reporting period

– Plan-fact analysis of budget execution of the reporting period

– Preparing a consolidated budget for the next period

Notably, after completion of the module units my financial knowledge and decision-making skills growing up through problem-solving, critical thinking, and an understanding of key financial facts and concepts. Strong financial knowledge and decision-making skills help me weigh options and make informed choices for my personal financial situations, such as deciding how and when to save and spend, comparing costs before a big purchase, and planning for retirement or other long-term savings.

Pricing strategies including cost plus and target pricing

The main objective of a pricing strategy in a market economy is to maximize profits with the planned sales volume (McLaney & Atrill, 2020).  To determine the price in the strategies like Full Cost Pricing, Target Pricing, Cost Plus Pricing, the production costs are first calculated. Then the amount received is increased by percentage for a profit margin. Mark up cost should cover overhead costs, taxes and customs duties. After, the number, including the price of all units produced should be divided by the number of units you expect to sell.

In my perspective, pricing skills is vital for me as a manager and an entrepreneur.

Having the right knowledge of pricing know-how, marketing execution, project planning and change management I will be able to sell, lead, and deliver pricing transformation initiatives within my organization. My personal development plan will include a goal to get familiar with pricing tools including the price waterfall, price dispersion, customer & product net pocket price, price-volume trends, etc. on practice; these can all be achieved by getting training course online.

Explain the effect of recent changes to trade and tariff policies have had on your employer, you, or someone you know.

Assignment Content
Promoting international trade is not a zero-sum game. It is a win-win proposition; both parties gain from trade.
Consider the following:
Tariffs are paid by the citizens of the country imposing tariffs, not by the citizens of the country producing the products upon which the tariffs are levied.
The term “trade deficits” is a misnomer. Every country’s trade is always in balance.
Trade deficits do not mean the US no longer produces anything to export. The US is the world’s second largest manufacturer and the world’s second largest exporter of manufactured goods.
Trade deficits reflect a strong economy. Trade deficits rise during economic expansions and fall during economic contractions. Unemployment falls as trade deficits rise and rises as trade deficits fall.
Imports and exports are complements, not competitors. Both are necessary and both contribute to economic growth.
Roughly one-third of all US imports and exports is trade between US multinational companies and their overseas subsidiaries.
Foreign-owned companies operating in the US number in the thousands and provide directly or indirectly jobs for more than 13 million US workers (roughly, 10% of the US workforce).
US trade deficit in goods in 2018 (as a % of GDP) was the same as it was 5, 10 and 15 years earlier.
The rise in US goods trade deficit with China has not increased the US total goods trade deficit. It has been offset by reduced goods imports from other trading partners.
There is a strong correlation between the rise in world trade and:
The rise in world GDP
The dramatic fall in the world’s extreme poverty rate
The rise in world life expectancy
For every US manufacturing job lost to trade between 2000 and 2010, seven US jobs were lost to domestic productivity improvements. Those seven jobs cannot be brought back from overseas because they never left the US.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word evaluation of credible economists’ unbiased opinions on the benefits, costs, and results of current US trade and tariff policies. Complete the following in your evaluation:
Evaluate how US trade policy changes in the last 2 years affect global trade activities by multinational corporations.
Discuss credible economists’ opinions on the long-term effects of trade and tariff policies changes in the last 2 years.
Explain the effect of recent changes to trade and tariff policies have had on your employer, you, or someone you know.

Compute the MSE, MAE and MAPE for all 3 models which you estimated.

In your answers to the questions below, you should present your Eviews equation estimation output as it would be in published academic papers. (Examine several such papers, the approaches to presentation are fairly standard.) Raw Eviews output should be included only in an Appendix. 

The data required for the coursework is contained in the excel file `Coursework_2.xls’  in the coursework section on Moodle. The file contains daily return and 5-min realised variance data for FTSE100 from January 2000 to December 2017 that we will use to estimate and forecast the volatility of FTSE100.                                                                                                               Question 1 (30 points)

Consider the observations for the FTSE 100 stock index return series for the period ranging from 2000 to 2015. Build an appropriate ARMA model and test for ARCH effects in the series of daily returns.

Question 2 (50 points)

Using the observations for years 2000 to 2015, estimate the following models from the GARCH family, selecting the appropriate lags:

  • GARCH with normal innovations
  • GJR with normal innovations
  • a specification of your choice

always using as the conditional mean equation the ARMA specification that you identified in Question 1 above.

For each of these models, forecast the daily volatility (square root of variance) for the last two years in your sample. Plot your forecasts against the actual realizations of the variable (realised volatility proxy), as well as the forecast errors (i.e. actual – forecast). Interpret the results.

Question 3 (20 points)

Compute the MSE, MAE and MAPE for all 3 models which you estimated. According to each of these criteria, which model forecasts best and which model forecasts worst?
