Abstract: Turmeric is grown as a Kharif crop in India. The crop-harvesting season starts between end of January and March in India. The country is the leading producer, consumer and exporter of turmeric in the world. It has near monopoly in this commodity. Indian turmeric has been known to the world since ancient times. India accounts for 78% of world turmeric production and it contributes 60% to the world market. Major turmeric growing states are Andhra Pradesh (57%), Tamil Nadu (23%), Karnataka (6%) and Orissa (4%). Indian turmeric is considered as the best in the world because of its high cur cumin content.

Abstract:The purpose of the present paper is to study the linkage of CSR initiatives taken by the Indian companies and its impact on their RONW. For this purpose, various financial parameters have been used like Return on net worth, profit before tax and earning per share. Researchers have taken a sample of 5 private companies namely Tata Steel Company, RIL, Mahindra & Mahindra, Infosys and Larsen and Toubro to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility and RONR by considering their financial statement of five years (from March 2010 to March 2014). The logic behind to take such samples is that these are big private key players with respect to Indian business. After getting all the data, an analysis on the relationship between CSR and other financial parameters like EPS, PBT and RONR are tested by Regression analysis and ANOVA. Irrespective of this general outcome, the current study depicts evidence that there is a insignificant relationship between CSR and Return on Net Worth (RONR) in case of these companies.

Abstract: The study empirically examined the effect of interest rate and money supply on petroleum profit tax (PET) in Nigeria. The study employed annual time series data from 1980 to 2013 collected from various issues of Central Bank of Nigeria's Statistical Bulletin. An Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) Model was adopted in the analyses of the interaction among interest rate and money supply on petroleum profit tax. The granger causality pairwise test was also conducted in determining the causal relationship among the variables. The empirical results showed that, there was unidirectional causality between money supply and PET, money supply has positive effect on PET in the short run but negative effect in the long run with (t=-1.35 , P<0.05) and (t = 4.07, P>0.05) respectively.

Abstract: For a new private hospitals, the right strategies are very important to ensure that the hospital will have enough cash flow to sustain the business. One of the strategy is to expand business in stages and by doing this the hospital can use the internal fund generated from the current business and this will avoid borrowing from financial institutions which will effect the bottom line of the hospital. The aim of expanding in stages is to achieve breakeven where the expenses or cost are equal to revenue and therefore the net loss or gain is zero. There is no profit or loss being made even though the opportunity costs have been "paid", and the company had received the expected return of the capital. Breakeven point is achieved when the sales revenue is equal to total costs. In this study , a qualitative design was selected to conduct a case study of three new private hospitals in Malaysia namely Hospital A, Hospital B and Hospital C . A case study approach was selected based on the usefulness and appropriateness for this particular study.

Abstract: Dividend policy is a strategy used by a company to determine the amount and timing of dividend payments. The dividend policy framed by an organization is one of the crucial issues in corporate finance since it may have an impact on the firm's value and shareholder wealth. The research study is an attempt to analyze the effect of dividend policy on shareholder wealth of thirty selected Indian banks listed and traded in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).For the purpose of study the financial data from the period 2003-04 to 2012-13 of selected Indian banks (15 Public and 15 Private) would be used. The data would be analyzed using statistical tools like multiple regression technique, t test, the coefficient of determination (R2) and F-Value. The results of the data analysis might reveal that that there is a significant effect of dividend policy on the share price of selected Indian Banks. The study is limited to a time period of 10 years and only selected Indian Banks. The result might change if the time period and number of banks are extended.

Abstract: Nigeria is endowed with mineral resources among which coal. This product was playing a leading role in the supply of energy for the industrial sector before the discovery of oil. It generated employment for many Nigerians and also served as solid sources of energy for both domestic and industrial users. Coal production from inception maintained an upward trend and reached its peak between 1955 and 1959 when almost one million metric tones of coal was produced annually. As time went on, the leading role of coal in the country's energy mix declined rapidly, following the discovery of oil in commercial quantity in the late 1950's. This was hastened by the outbreak of Nigerian civil war which lasted from 1967 to 1970. During this period, all coal mines in the country were abandoned. This study is therefore set out to examine the export of this product and how it helped to improve the economy through the revenue generated there from.

Abstract: In this era of increasingly globalized world economy, FDI is particularly a significant driving force behind the interdependence of national economies and is considered as the main source of external finance. The considerable decline in official development assistance (ODA) and commercial bank lending to developing countries, which are considered as the main sources of meeting the external financing needs of developing countries, have seen a greater reliance on private capital especially foreign direct investment as a source of development finance. This is because of the fact that FDI not only remains much less volatile than portfolio and other investments but it has also proved to be resilient enough during East Asian crisis of 1997-98 and the Mexican crisis of 1994-95.

Abstract: IASB states that the main objective of financial reporting is to provide information that is useful to investors, creditors and others in making investment, credit and similar resource allocation decisions. This study sought to find out if the adoption of IFRS had affected the financial reporting quality of listed firms in Kenya. Sample selection consisted of all companies listed in the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) between 1994 and 2003 excluding banking and insurance companies. The study shows that the value relevance of reported earnings was incrementally higher for listed companies during the post-IFRS convergence period than in the pre-IFRS convergence period.

Annual data on market capitalization, value of shares traded, all share index, average prime lending rate, inflation rate, national savings and gross fixed capital formation at current purchaser's value from 1980 to 2012 were sourced from the statistical bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact Book various issues. The ordinary least square (OLS) regression technique was employed in the data analysis and the error correction mechanism (ECM) was used to study the short-run dynamics as well as long-run relationship between the stock market and gross fixed capital formation in Nigeria. The result revealed that all share index of the Nigerian stock market has significant effect on gross fixed capital formation.

Abstract: In aviation sector the Airline operators are earning from the number of routes they are operating. Larger routes earn more profit comparable to short domestic routes. If an airline is banned to operate to foreign routes, other carriers can take an opportunity to attract the passengers toward themselves during the ban period of that operator. The penalty of losing route, passengers and their trust becomes colossal when considered in terms of revenue and cost. European Union agency for aviation safety assessment has set standard procedures for inspection of aircraft operator's safety level and can put ban or limitation on the operators to operate in their territory. So keeping this fact in mind case study of Pakistan international Airline is taken, which came under the observation of European safety agency in 2006 and 2010 for degrading safety level. In this work possible contributing factors that can be a cause to leading of non-conformance are analysed. Main objective is to target out the main bottleneck through this case study and suggest the solutions to sort out that problem.
