Investment Project Evaluation

Dear students,

The subject builds on the methods, reasoning and skills acquired during the bachelor's studies in the field of finance, banking and investing, especially in accounting, statistics and informatics (working with financial mathematics, using functions in MS Excel, etc.). To thoroughly master the principles of capital budgeting, it is necessary to combine work in MS Excel, as well as with specialised statistical software (add-ons) for MS Excel (or other software). After completing the course, the student should:
- be able to process the financial plan of capital investment in the company as well as process its evaluation with possible recommendations,
- be able to create and apply a suitable investment evaluation tool, to understand its advantages and disadvantages,
- understand the attributes of the project implementation environment, related to, for example, taxation, changes in the price level, creation of the level of required profitability or risks applied,
- understand modifications of the designed tool using analytical approaches to take uncertainty conditions into account,
- master the MS Excel environment and its add-ons for processing individual calculations and analyses in capital planning and investment project decision making.
In the subject, students acquire financial reasoning, learn to process and model financial data and make estimates of the development of certain projects and cash flows. The acquired knowledge and skills are necessary for the analysis and processing of data within the company and the preparation of its investment projects, especially in the field of financial management.
Thank you for your participation in the course!
