Shareholders, managers, current and potential investors are interested in satisfactory return on investment together with adequate financial situation that will enable to achieve lasting development of the enterprise. Optimum compromise between financial stability and return on investment depends on specific conditions under which the enterprise performs. The paper demonstrates that bigger emphasis is rightly put on return on investment in comparison with other indicators of effectiveness. Calculations of return on investment are necessary in most long-term decisions with consequences over a period of years. This ratio plays also an important role in management of intracompany segments that were given substantial authority and responsibility. At the end of the paper the most common ratios of return on investment are stated together with the main areas of use. It is stressed that return on investment must be always considered against the risk as the second factor influencing financial decision making.

Financial resources are created by total receipts, increase of equity and debt capital, subsidies and leasing. Internal resources of firm include not only its profit, but total receipts, inclusive deprecation. Internal resources are the dominating investment’s resources in majority of non-financial firms in foreign countries, also in Czech Republic. Depreciation plays the crucial share in internal resources of investment. Cost of depreciation, as the resource of long-term financing, is determined by average firm’s cost of capital. In world practice of project’s financing in last years is often used Public Private Partnership system. This system is expected to create the stronger pressure on timely project’s implementation and on cost savings. Necessary condition of its application is the high quality contract between state and private firms, improvement of planning and reporting of public debt and also consistent control on project’s implementation.

Appropriate allocation of goodwill is currently very important because of increasing number of entities reporting according to the IFRS or US GAAP that require testing of impairment of goodwill (regardless of the Czech accounting regulation does not deal with this issue). It is appropriate to allocate the goodwill to the higher hierarchical levels of internal structures of the entity. This affiliation of goodwill is based on the information from management accounting among others.

Empirical studies of the lack of marketability discount originated in the USA are one of the main resources for business valuers in the Czech Republic. However, they are used rather intuitively without any deeper analysis of the key factors that influence the value of the discount. The theoretical quantification models of the discount are not very well known and used in the Czech Republic. The paper presents a brief overview of these theoretical models and typology of empirical studies, their results but also limitations which we have to consider when using them in practical business valuation. Finally, recommendations are made for the use of US empirical studies in the conditions of the Czech Republic.

Becouse insurance is an classic example of such a situation, it is used to illustrate the cases of asymmetry, for the clients is supposed to know better his own exposure then the insurer. In fact, the client´s objective exposure apriori be cannot quantified from the point of wiew of exact sciencis and his decision is futher influenced by psychological and sociological faktors. The insurer is better equipped to make calculations, drawing on past experience and using the laws of statistics, furtermore, he takes antiselection on account.

I define main resources of the study, discuss the most important parts of Rudebusch’s paper and present key conclusions about the impact of central banks on the dynamics of money market interest rates. Besides I point out some problems that can influence our understanding of the behavior of interest rates. First of all this is the problem of instability of the period in which it is possible to make the correct prediction of the value of targeted interest rates. Hereafter I call attention to few technical aspects of managing the open market operations and last but not least I stress the problems of potential instability of term premium.

Abstract: This article is focused on different approach to science and research at the University of Sydney, Australia. There is established a Research Centre, which is made for employees of the university and for Ph.D. students. In the centre are mainly Ph.D. students, who spend there approximately 8-10 hours daily (they usually don’t work in the private sector). There are 2 big rooms in the Centre. One is used as a “relaxation and discussion” room, the other one is used as a “working” room. As I see it, it is very important that everyone has 24 hours 7 days a week access to this place (everyone likes to do research in a different time).
