This thesis deals with the valuation of the selected company by revenue valuation methods. In the first part of the thesis is defined valuation theory and these findings are then used in the analytical and practical work. In the analysis of the selected company characterized, there is a defined market in which it operates and the strategic and financial analysis. In the practical part is based on the results of analysis and business valuation using the discounted cash flow.

The master’s thesis deals with the subjective value of stock company IFE-CR, a.s. via selected revenue method. Value estimation will be made to 31. December 2013. The teoretical part explains the main concepts and describes the methodological approaches, related to the company value estimation. Theoretical basis of literature search are developed and applied to specific businness entity in practical part. This part introduces the evaluated company, includes the results of the strategic and financial analysis and in the final stage also the suggestion of value estimation.

Due to increasing skill and awareness of overall functions in programs such as Excel, an increasing number of analysts at real estate firms and consultancies have started developing "desktop" versions of valuation models used for professional appraisal of property value. Due to personal preferences, differences in schools and professional backgrounds, these so called desktop models vary in quality, robustness, accuracy, design and user friendliness. Professional software suites are not suitable either, as they are expensive, hard to learn, hard to adapt to specific needs of the business, outdated design and need of additional IT resources. At a multinational Real Estate consultancy such as Jones Lang LaSalle, requirements on tools used for professional opinions on questions as important as property value, are rigorous. Therefore, decision was made to develop a new DCF model which would be closely monitored by management and have a prismatic approach meaning that the model would satisfy the needs of more than one division at Jones Lang LaSalle. When reviewing existing models and practices at the company, the result became a tailored DCF valuation model that was focused on increasing efficiency of appraisers at Jones Lang LaSalle. Aside from being robust and technically sophisticated, the result also suited the specific needs of Jones Lang LaSalle in terms of features and user interface. Development of the model involved several divisions to ensure that the needs were met for Research & Valuation, Capital Markets, Corporate Solutions and Asset Management at Jones Lang LaSalle.

In a stopping rule problem, a real-time player decides to stop or continue at stage n based on the observations up to that stage, but in a k-step look-ahead stopping rule problem, we suppose the player knows k steps ahead. The aim of this Ph.D. dissertation is to study this type of prophet problems for simple random walk, determine the optimal stopping rule and calculate the expected return for them. The optimal one-step look-ahead stopping rule for a finite simple random walk is determined in this work. We also study two infinite horizon stopping rule problems, sum with negative drift problems and discounted sum problems. The optimal one, two and three-step look-ahead stopping rules are introduced for the sum with negative drift problem for simple random walk. We also compare the maximum expected returns and calculate the upper bound for the advantage of the prophet over the decision maker. The last chapter of this dissertation concentrates on the discounted sum problem for simple random walk. Optimal one-step look-ahead stopping rule is defined and lastly we compare the optimal expected return for one-step look-ahead prophet with a real-time decision maker.

Goal of thesis "Valuation of company Auto Koutek, s.r.o." is to determine the value of company for shareholder on 31st December 2009 that should take place in evaluating of company's managers. Thesis is divided in theoretical part, which summarize processes and methods used in valuation of company, and practical part. Firstly practical part analyzes company's performance and its surroundings. This part is followed by financial plan of company for years from 2010 to 2017. Valuation DCF models are than based on this financial plans. Value of company is than analyzed with sensitivity analysis and by Monte Carlo simulation that are trying to analyze uncertainty connected with calculated value of company.

Den globala utvecklingen som pågått sedan 1950-talet har resulterat i drastiska klimatförändringar vilket orsakat allvarliga miljöproblem. Dessa miljöproblem beror till stor del på en kraftig befolkningstillväxt. Befolkningstillväxten är starkt förknippad med ökade energibehov vilket ställer högre krav på hur energin produceras för att minska avtrycket på miljön. Ett tydligt steg i rätt riktning är tillämpningen av förnyelsebara energikällor. På den svenska marknaden är solkraft den energikälla som vuxit kraftigast de senaste åren. En av anledningarna till den kraftiga tillväxten är de statliga stimulanserna som givits. Sedan 2021 har de statliga stöden samtidigt dragits in vilket i synnerhet drabbar företag, däribland kommersiella fastighetsägare. Samtidigt kan det fortfarande finnas motiv för att investera i solceller, tack vare de positiva kostnadseffekter som en investering kan medföra. Det finns samtidigt oklarheter kring hur denna typ av investering påverkar värdet på fastigheter. Baserat på detta är studiens syfte att undersöka hur investeringar i solceller påverkar det ekonomiska värdet på kommersiella fastigheter samt hur detta värde maximeras med avseende på dimensionering respektive finansiering. Tidigare forskning inom området indikerar att det i huvudsak finns positiva samband mellan investeringar i solceller och värdet på fastigheter. Samtidigt berör dessa studier bostadsfastigheter på den internationella marknaden. Det finns således en begränsad forskning kring hur investeringar i solceller påverkar värdet på kommersiella fastigheter, inte minst på den svenska marknaden. För att uppfylla studiens syfte tillämpades, i första hand, en kvantitativ flerfallsstudie där 8 fastighetsobjekt undersöktes. Den kvantitativa data som samlades in om dessa objekt låg till grund för värderingen av dessa fastigheter. Värderingen, som baserades på “discounted cash flow method”, tillämpades för att tydliggöra hur värdet på fastigheterna förändrades i relation till ett ursprungsläge före en investering. Det kvantitativa metodvalet kombinerades med kvalitativa intervjuer vars syfte var att få en djupare förståelse om hur värdet på kommersiella fastigheter maximeras med avseende på dimensionering. Intervjuerna hade även för avsikt att verifiera de kvantitativa resultaten som genererades från fallstudien. Studiens resultat påvisar ett starkt samband mellan det ekonomiska värdet på kommersiella fastigheter och investeringar i solceller. Hur mycket fastighetsvärdet påverkas beror i stor utsträckning på hur investeringen finansieras samt hur lång analystid som beaktas. Bortsett från analystid tyder studiens resultat på att fastighetsvärdet i genomsnitt ökar 1,71% vid en direktfinansiering och 1,12% när investeringen görs i form av ett “power purchase agreement”. Samtidigt påvisar de kvalitativa resultaten att dimensioneringen av solcellsanläggningar bör göras utifrån den individuella fastighetens behov i termer av egenanvändning och total elanvändning. För att maximera egenanvändningen och därmed också fastighetsvärdet behöver dimensioneringen, ur et praktiskt perspektiv, ta hänsyn till den tillgängliga takytan, takets lutning samt takets väderstreck. / The global development, which has been going on since the 1950s, has resulted in drastic climate changes, which has caused serious environmental issues. These environmental issues are mainly caused by a strong population growth. The population growth is participially associated with increased energy needs, which sets higher requirements on how energy is produced, in order to reduce the impact on the environment. A step in the right direction is the application of renewable energy sources. In the Swedish market, solar power has been the fastest growing energy source in recent years. One of the reasons for this growth has been the stimulations offered by the government. Since 2021, the stimulations have been withdrawn which particularly affects companies, including commercial property owners. However, there may still be motives for investing in solar cells, thanks to the positive cost effects that an investment may bring. At the same time, there are uncertainties about how much this type of investment can affect the property value. Based on that, the purpose of this study is to investigate how investments in solar cells affect the economic value of commercial properties and how this value can be maximized with respect to dimensioning and financing, respectively. Previous research within this field indicates that there are positive relationships between investments in solar cells and the value of properties. At the same time, these studies concern residential properties on the international market. Based on this, there is limited research on how investments in solar cells affect the value of commercial properties, especially in the Swedish market. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a quantitative multiple-case study was applied, in which 8 real estate objects were examined. The quantitative data collected about these objects was the basis for the valuation of the properties. The valuation, which was based on a discounted cash flow method, was applied to clarify how the value of the properties changed in relation to a scenario before an investment was made. The quantitative method was combined with qualitative interviews whose purpose was to get a deeper understanding of how the value of commercial properties is maximized with respect to dimensioning. The interviews were also intended to verify the quantitative results generated from the case study. The results of the study indicate a strong relationship between the economic value of commercial properties and investments in solar cells. How much the property value is affected depends to a considerable extent on how the investment is financed and how long analysis time is considered. Apart from the analysis time, the results of the study indicate that the property value increases on average by 1.71% in case of direct financing and 1.12% when the investment is financed as a power purchase agreement. At the same time, the qualitative results indicate that the dimensioning of a solar cell system should be done based on the individual property needs, in terms of self-use and total electricity consumption. To maximize the self-usage, and thereby also the property value, the dimensioning needs to consider the available roof surface, the slope of the roof and the latitude of the roof.

The discounted cash flow model and relative valuation models are ever-increasingly prevalent in today’s investment-heavy environment. In other words, theoretically inferior models are used in practice. It is this paradox that has lead us to compare the discounted cash flow model (DCFM), discounted dividend model (DDM), residual income-based model (RIVM) and the abnormal earnings growth model (AEGM) and their relative accuracy to observed stockprices. Adding to previous research, we investigate their performance in relation to the OMX30 index. What is more, we test how the performance of each model is affected by an extension of the forecast horizon. The study finds that AEGM outperforms the other models, both before and after extending the horizon. Our analysis was conducted by looking at accuracy, spread and the inherent speculative nature of each model. Taking all this into account, RIVM outperforms the other models. In this sense, one can question the rationale behind investor’s decision to primarily use the discounted cash flow model in equity valuation.

Objective of the thesis is determination of Volkswagen Group's equity intrinsic value. Basic starting point of the analysis is seggregation of consolidated financial statements into financial and production division, which are valuated separately. The production division is valuated using both enterprise discounted cashflow and discounted economic profit analysis. Equity cashflow valuation is used to derive value of the financial division. Results of valuation implied by income approach are then compared with market multiples valuation.

The theme of my diploma thesis is "Lease versus credit." The first part deals with relatively independent terms of the lease and credit of their definition and methods of accounting. It also deals with the tax and legislative changes which in the area of leases and credits in recent years occurred. Main section is devoted to comparing the differences between themselves, leasing and credits. There are advantages and disadvantages of both forms of financing, while the main attention is focused on business deciding between leasing and credit for making investments. Two methods will be introduced: net advantage of leasing and discounted costs of leasing and credit. The use of these methods is demonstrated on a practical example.

The thesis is dealing with selected methods analysis of fundamentals analysis on the Czech market in a period of year 2006 -- 2010. First chapter is thinking about theoretical bases of the theses, concretely offers basic characteristic and overview of discount models of dividend and the models of interest for setting the share intrinsic value . This will be used in a practical part of dissertation. The second chapter is focusing on the shares evaluating by dividend discounted models and their fruitfulness in the time. In the begining are companies characteristics which shares create the sample used to succesfulness models testing. After this part follows analysis of selected inputs which are used to the final evaluating. The third chapter is answering the questions about analysis of interest models and about the general evaluating of the fruitfulness of all selected models in the individual backdrops.
