A metodologia utilizada fundamentou se na aplicação de entrevistas realizadas aos finais de semana (Sábados e Domingos) no período de abril a dezembro de 2012, contendo questões objetivas e questões abertas. Para valoração monetária dos serviços e benefícios ambientais foi aplicado o método de valoração contingente. O Campus apresenta uma frequência média diária aos finais de semana de aproximadamente 3.000 pessoas. A maioria dos frequentadores é do sexo feminino com idade entre 20 e 39 anos, casados, com ensino médio completo, são trabalhadores da iniciativa privada, com rendas que variam de 1 a 2 salários mínimos. Uma das atividades mais desenvolvidas é a prática da caminhada seguida pela visita ao zoológico. Mais da metade dos entrevistados (52%) livremente aceitou contribuir para conservação e manutenção do Campus. O valor médio da disposição a pagar dos entrevistados foi de R$ 3,07/visitante e o valor monetário total anual do Campus calculado pelo método de valoração contingente é de R$ 3.172.648,06. Conclui se que o Campus apresenta características de área de lazer e recreação conferida pela população ao longo do tempo. / This work has as main objective to perform the socioeconomic valuation of environmental services and benefits provided by the UFMT campus as urban area of leisure and recreation. The methodology is based - on the application of interviews on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) from April to December of 2012, containing objective and open questions. For monetary valuation of environmental services and benefits, we applied the Contingent valuation method (CVM). The Campus has an average daily attendance on the weekend of about 3,000 people. Most of the regulars visitors are men, aged from 20 to 39 years, married, had completed high school, works on private sector workers, with rents ranging from 1 to 2 minimum salaries. The principal activity is the practice of walking followed by visit to the zoo. More than half of respondents (52%) accept to pay for the preservation and maintenance of the Campus. The average willingness to pay of respondents was R$ 3.07/visitor and the annual monetary value of the Campus calculated by the contingent valuation method is R$ 3,172,648.06. We conclude that the campus has characteristics of area of leisure and recreation supported by the population over time.

Det är känt att modeindustrin har ett stort anspråk på miljön, men trots det finns det inga fungerande lösningar på problemet i dagsläget. Ett sätt att komma till bukt med problemet äratt låta konsumenten miljökompensera vid köptillfället. Den här studien undersöker konsumenters inställning till en frivillig miljökompensation vid klädköp. Liknande studier har gjorts tidigare, då på flygresenärers vilja att frivilligt klimatkompensera för koldioxidutsläpp. Det har därför varit av intresse att testa liknande undersökningsmetod på konsumenter imodeindustrin. Tidigare forskning har konstaterat att ett flertal variabler är betydande för konsumentens vilja göra grönare konsumtionsval. Detta har mynnat ut i fyra hypoteser som testar hur konsumenters attityd till miljökompensation, upplevda konsumenteffektivitet, upplevda miljökunskap samt kön korrelerar med viljan att miljökompensera. Studien har även undersökt hur konsumenternas vilja att kompensera påverkar det ekonomiska värdet som konsumenten sätter på miljöproblemen kopplade till klädproduktion. Undersökningen bygger på 225 enkätsvar från studenter vid en medelstor svensk högskola. Resultaten från studien visar på signifikanta samband mellan flera av de förklarande variablerna och viljan att delta i frivillig miljökompensation. Den genomsnittliga kompensationsnivån uppgår till halva plaggets försäljningspris, vilket är en uppseendeväckande siffra. Respondenternas preferenser visar även att miljökompensationen bör fördelas lika över olika projekt för bättre miljö. / Although it’s known what footprint the global fashion industry has, few solutions have effectively managed to tackle the problem. One solution is to let the consumer participate in avoluntary environmental offset. This study investigates what variables affecting the consumer’s willingness to participate in such offset. Similar studies on air travelers’ voluntarycarbon offset have been done before. It’s therefore of interest to use the same preference method on consumers of the fashion industry. Previous research present a number of independent variables affecting the willingness to participate in voluntary offset. This study uses four hypotheses to explain consumers’ stated preferences. These include attitudes, perceived consumer effectiveness, perceived ecoliteracy and gender. The study uses a contingent valuation method to explain how the willingness to participate correlates with the hypothetical value of the voluntary environmental offset. An online survey was conducted and included data of 225 respondents. The results show significant correlations among several of the independent variables and the willingness to participate in voluntary environmental offset. The average value of offset reached about half the selling price of a simulated garment, which is staggering. The respondents’ preferences on how the money from the offset should be allocated tell of an equal share among projects for a better environment. The study is a bachelor thesis written in Swedish.

The thesis concentrates on a business valuation of Hewlett-Packard s.r.o., the Czech subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company, the world leading provider of IT goods and services. The thesis includes complex strategic analysis with detailed company inside and outside potential and market forecast. The financial analysis evaluates financial situation of the company, financial plan and a final valuation based on DCF entity method and market approach based on the price trend of publicly negotiable stocks of the parent company.

This Master thesis deals with the valuation of ZAPA beton, a. s. to the date August 16, 2012. As a valuation method was used the earnings valuation method based on discounted free cash flow to the firm (FCFF). Important parts of Master thesis are analysis of external environment, analysis of building industry and financial analysis of the company. Process of valuation was implemented on the base of well-prepared financial plan and quantification of necessary input variables such as discount rate and rate of growth. Final part includes sensitivity analysis, for which was used Monte Carlo simulation. This simulation helps to determine main risk factors which do have the most significant influence on the final value of company.

The goal of this diploma thesis is determination of the value of the company Fatra a.s. to the date 30. 4. 2015. First, the strategic analysis was performed, after that financial analysis and SWOT analysis were done. On the base of the previous parts, generators of the value were described. The generators were used to create the financial plan for the period 2014 - 2018. Valuation methods calculated in the thesis are DCF in FCFF form, DCF in EVA form and method of comparable companies. At the end of the thesis, there is a discussion about the most appropriate valuation method for this particular case.

The problems with the environmental damage valuation which are caused by the stationary sources belong to the important issues to be solved. Due to the heavy industrial activity in the Czech Republic it is important to pay attention to the possible risks which can emerge from these sources and can impact the environment and the health condition of people. The thesis deals with the analysis of the present state of this problem. The analysis of the risks which come from the specific situation is made on its basis. The goal of this thesis is to propose the general procedure of the valuation of the incurred damage on the environment and the minimization of the risks.

The thesis " Comparison of an unfinished house price with the price of the construction work finished" aims to determine the cost of a building under construction house at the stage of rough construction cost method and compare it with the cost of construction works, which will be determined itemized budget. Their mutual prices compare, evaluate differences and to determine whether and at what price you can sell the unfinished building on the real estate market in Brno-venkov.

Whilst congestion in automobile traffic increases trip durations, this is often not the case in rail-based public transport where congestion rather leads to in-vehicle crowding, often neglected in empirical studies. Using original survey data from Paris, this article assesses the distribution of comfort costs of congestion in public transport. Estimating willingness to pay for less crowded trips at different levels of in-vehicle passenger density we cannot reject a simple linear relationship between crowding costs and density. We apply our results to the cost-benefit analysis of a recent Parisian public transport project.

The net present value (NPV) approach has been widely accepted by corporate practitioners and academics as the principle tool for evaluating the feasibility of corporate financial investment opportunities. It conceptually provides an estimate in present value terms of a proposed investment's incremental contribution to the firm, enabling the company to pursue its goal of value maximization with more assurance. NPV uses a discount rate that in theory captures market risks. In the stable growth or mature industries, NPV works well. However, in high investment/high risk-return (HI/HRR) industries, where the investment environment is often profiled as highly uncertain with high returns, NPV is insufficient to reflect the multidimensional risks, hence unable to capture the extensive investment returns that may consist of non-financial values. This dissertation applies the real option (RO) valuation methodology, supplementing the NPV method to evaluate the return of the sports retail industry (SRI) flagship stores investments. This study further demonstrates that there are strategic values captured by the RO valuation method, complementing the financial values attained by the NPV. To test this assertion, we use case methodology to analyze four flagship investment activities (proprietary business data are concealed). These investments represent various investment options, including growth, expansion, staging, and delay. The cases include projections made prior to the investment, the retrospective application of RO to estimate strategic value, and the actual returns from these investments. Findings demonstrate convincingly RO methodology can and should be usefully applied to supplement the NPV method in HI/HRR industries, and SRI in particular.
