The original theory of capital cost and capital structure put forward by Nobel Prize Winners Modigliani and Miller has since been modified by many authors, and this book discusses some of them. The book¿s authors have created general theory of capital cost and capital structure ¿ the Brusov¿FilatoväOrekhova (BFO) theory, which generalizes the Modigliani¿Miller theory to encompass companies of an arbitrary age (and arbitrary lifetime). Despite the availability of this more general theory, the classical Modigliani¿Miller theory is still widely used in practice. In this book, the authors for the first time generalize it for cases of practical relevance: for the case of variable profit; for the case of advance tax-on-profit payments and interest on debt payments; for the case of several tax-on-profit and interest on debt payments per period; and for the combination of all three effects. These generalizations lead to valuable theoretical results as well as significantly widen of practical application this theory in practice and increase of the quality of finance management of the company. As well, the book investigates the applications of said results in corporate finance, investments, taxation and ratings, where employing a generalized Modigliani¿Miller theory can be very fruitful.

Il diffondersi della pandemia di coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 nel corso dell'inverno 2020, dapprima in Asia orientale, poi in Europa e successivamente nel resto del pianeta, ha rappresentato e continua tutt'oggi a costituire, a livello globale, una delle minacce piu importanti per la salute registrate negli ultimi decenni, almeno nel novero delle malattie infettive. L'Italia è stato uno dei Paesi piu precocemente e intensamente coinvolti. Già nell'estate 2020 i contagi nel nostro Paese erano oltre 234 mila e i decessi hanno superato le 33 mila unita. Erano numeri destinati ad aumentare, specie se i tentativi adottati per affrontare l'emergenza sanitaria non riuscirono a contenere stabilmente la propagazione del virus e gli allentamenti delle misure di distanziamento sociale implementate nei vari Stati, seppur secondo modalità differenti, provocheranno il riacuirsi della malattia e la nascita di nuovi focolai. A maggio 2020, il quadro clinico in lento ma costante miglioramento ha permesso l'avvio della cosiddetta fase 2 della gestione della malattia, eppure il bilancio delle vittime rimane tragico, con un significativo eccesso di mortalita rispetto all'atteso. A cio si aggiunga che il numero dei decessi che sono direttamente o indirettamente imputabili al virus e sicuramente sottostimato. In questo conteggio vengono infatti considerati unicamente i decessi avvenuti tra i casi di COVID-19 diagnosticati, mentre non sono inclusi tutti i decessi per coronavirus che hanno riguardato individui non sottoposti a tampone.

It is important to set your financial priorities in life, as this can help secure your financial future. Improper handling of funds can be too stressful.Many people do not know where and how they spend most of their income. How many times have you withdraw money from an ATM, only to find out a few days later that there is none? It is often difficult to remember how much you have spent, and that money is often spent on frivolous purchases.A budget will help avoid this by holding people accountable for the income they spend. If a person only has $50 a month left for food, they can opt out of buying a $3 designer coffee.
