This Master's Thesis deals with the evaluation of investment into residential redevelopment of a former Libeň's harbour in Prague. The Thesis' aim is to decide whether the planned project creates enough profit and to find what is the maximum price the developer should be willing to pay for the land. The theoretical part focuses on key words definition, specification of investment decisions and describes evaluation methods including the definition of input parameters. The practical part includes strategic analysis evaluating macroeconomic situation of Czech republic, Prague's real estate market and describing the forces, which determine the competitive environment of the project. The investment evaluation is based on the data ascertained in strategic analysis using the methods described in the theoretical part. The risk analysis is finally applied on the evaluation methods' results.

PPP is a generally accepted way of ensuring public services or public infrastructure on the basis of long-term contractual relationship, where public and private sectors share mutual benefits and risks resulting from the effort to secure the public infrastructure or public services . According to the current financial crisis, I think that the issue of PPP projects will be more important not only in the area of the Czech republic, but also in the whole world. The public sector is for the private partner reliable contractual partner. In a situation where is a lack of orders, we can expect that implementation of PPP projects will increase. Any PPP project was successfully completed in the Czech republic, the reason can be insufficient information, political and legislative support.

Purpose of my thesis was globally evaluated investment project of JVP Praha company for expansion of production by reconstruction and addition of new production hall and purchase of new technology for vacuum procesing of plastics. For that purpose is part of the thesis financial analysis of company for last six years, comparing of company with development in this sector and also project risk analysis. Theoretic part is composed of: - Financial analysis of company, - Longterm investment decision making and - Value of company. Practical part is composed of: - Introduction of JVP Praha Company, - Company economic result analysis, - Comparing of company with development in this sector, - Investment project of building reconstruction for production and - Risk analysis. JVP Praha a.s., is the leading processer of plastics. JVP Praha a.s. is a production company focusing on production from plastic materials. Since its foundation, the company has been specialising in production of plastic parts by air-assist forming technology. Due to steadily increasing quality of production, our company obtained certification ISO 9001:2000, granted by the organisation TÜV CERT in 2003. The net present value of the investment is markedly positive and the discounted The Payback Period is very short

The master's thesis is focused on the use of the strategic management accounting tools for investment decision-making in construction industry. It's mostly directed at mutual integration of life time costing and net present value methods. The topic has been solved in two closely connected main parts. The first part deals with the possibilities of both instruments application with the emphasis on construction industry. The second part evaluates a particular construction project with the use of the tools and gives the base for creating an investment recommendation whether to realise the project, or not.

The aim of the work is to introduce various ways of economical evaluation of investments and present their practical application for industry branch of electrical devices. The work is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical one. The introductory part presents framework of economical evaluation and describes basics of economical evaluation and terms such as NPV, discount rate, investment decision) The work focuses on the most favorite approach -- discounted cash flow method - of economical evaluation of investments in detail. However, practical experiences show that conventional approach does not take probability distributions of input variables into account. When the higher risk is implied to discount rate, promising project could be rejected. That is why DCF concept is complemented by Monte Carlo risk modeling application.

Marine diamond mining as practiced on the west coast of southern Africa is considered to be a high-risk venture. Investment decisions can be eased by using simulations to model likely outcomes. This study utilised Net Present Value (NPV) to measure the impact of sampling and grade estimation decisions on a marine diamond mining project. It focused on aspects such as the accurate determination of geological conditions, the influence of the degree of error in the geostatistical estimation process, sample density and sample support size. A simulated deposit was constructed that could be sampled using various parameters to measure the sensitivity of NPV. Various scenarios and their related NPV's showed that exploration costs have a small impact on a project in comparison with other cost aspects. However, the decisions made in the exploration process do have a significant impact on the NPV of a project. Inaccuracy in recovery efficiency and mining rate prediction, lead to a decline in NPV. Misfitting the semi-variogram model had a smaller impact on the NPV than the other scenarios investigated, but the importance of reflecting the true variance of the deposit in financial terms was evident. Finding the optimal sampling density and support size do have a positive effect on NPV. It is believed that the method demonstrated in this study can be used as a guide to add value in the selection of optimal parameters when planning exploration campaigns in marine mining projects. AFRIKAANS : Mariene diamant ontginning, soos beoefen aan die weskus van suidelike Afrika, is 'n hoe risiko ondememing. Beleggings besluite kan vergemaklik word deur simulasies te gebruik om moonlike resultate te modeleer. Hierdie studie het Netto Huidige Waarde (NHW) gebruik om die impak van steekproefneming en skattings besluite op 'n mariene diamantontginning projek te meet. Aspekte soos die korrekte bepaling van geologiese kondisies, die invloed van foute in die geostatistiese skattings proses, steekproef spasieering en steekproef grootte, is ondersoek. 'n Afsetting is met 'n simulasie geskep. Steekproewe is dan geneem van die afsetting om NHW sensitiwiteit teenoor verskeie parameters te meet. Verskeie scenarios en hulle verwante NHW's het gewys dat, in vergelyking met ander kostes, eksplorasie kostes 'n klein impak op 'n projek het. In teenstelling hiermee is die impak van besluite wat geneem word in die eksplorasie fase groot. Onakkurate herwinnings effektiwiteit en ontginningstempo skattings lei tot 'n afname in NHW. Swak modelering van die semi-variogram het 'n kleiner invloed op NHW, maar die belangrikeid daarvan om die ware variansie van die afsetting te reflekteer, was duidelik in finansieele terme. Die gebruik van optimale steekproef spasieering en grootte het 'n positiewe impak op NHW. Die metode wat gedemonstreer word in hierdie studie kan gebruik word as 'n gids om optimale parameters te selekteer wanneer eksplorasie programme beplan word vir mariene diamantontginnings projekte.

The content of diploma thesis is an evaluation of the efficiency of the investment in rented property. To verify the sale price, the value of the property is determined by the basic valuation methods. Based on the market analysis, an optimal rental rate is determined, which allows us to quantify the income from the property. Properly quantified revenues and expenses are the foundations for evaluating the effectiveness of the investment.

This master thesis intents on analysing of economic efficiency of the investment project. Theoretical part of the thesis describes particular periods of the investment decision, what compromise a definition of more types of investments, investment projects and their classification. At the practical part of this thesis is applied the theoretical knowledge to evaluation of the planned investment, then is analysed the most profitable of the evaluated alternates and the last step is to propound next measure for the succesful realization of the project.

The thesis develops a business plan dealing with the expansion of the present business. The business plan is built on teoretic bases, than it analyses current condition in the company and finally it suggests realization of expansion including economic evaluation. This business plan should help to owner of business to make a right strategic decision.

Diploma thesis deals with options of development of the transport company MK Doprava. Using strategic analysis evaluates his current position and suggest realisation of investment project, whose economic efficiency is measured by net present value method.
