	Philip Morris Funded Study of Smoking in the Czech Republic stating that the Czech government had a net gain of $147.1 million from smoking 28nov00
		Similarly, we did not include the income tax of employees of the tobacco industry as a public finance gain, based on the assumption that if not working within the tobacco industry, the same workers would be employed elsewhere with comparable salaries, contributing similar amounts of income tax.
		The realistic estimate of net effect of smoking on public finance in the Czech Republic in 1999 is +5,815 mil.
		The conclusion of the study is that there was net transfer from smokers to non-smokers of 4.3 billion CAD in Canada in 1986.

	Derivative (finance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One should keep in mind that one purpose of derivatives is as a form of insurance, to move risk from someone who cannot afford a major loss to someone who could absorb the loss, or is able to hedge against the risk by buying some other derivative.
		Other uses of derivatives are to gain an economic exposure to an underlying security in situations where direct ownership of the underlying is too costly or is prohibited by legal or regulatory restrictions, or to create a synthetic short position.
		A derivative is a financial contract whose payoffs over time are derived from the performance of assets (such as commodities, shares or bonds), interest rates, exchange rates, or indices (such as a stock market index, consumer price index (CPI) or an index of weather conditions).

	rediff.com: Finance ministry reshuffle put on hold
		Finance Minister Sinha has reportedly accepted the advice of sections within the BJP and the RSS that an impression should not gain ground that there have been frequent changes in the higher echelons of the bureaucracy at North Block.
		Ajit Kumar, the present finance secretary, is due to retire at the end of January.
		At a time when the finance minister is being criticised by his political opponents for his failure to revive the economy, he can hardly afford to be seen as a person who cannot get along with his bureaucrats and advisers.

	Getting To Know The "Greeks"
		Using at-the-money vega, which is –96.94, we know that for each percentage-point drop in implied volatility, a short call position will gain by $96.94.
		Vega tells us approximately how much an option price will increase or decrease given an increase or decrease in the level of implied volatility.
		To become a successful option trader, it is essential to understand what factors influence the price of an option, which requires learning about the so-called "Greeks" - a set of risk measures that indicate how exposed an option is to these influences: time-value decay, implied volatility and changes in the underlying price of the commodity.

	Corporate Finance Network - Business LBO Valuation Model
		Therefore, the seller of the business (i.e., you) needs to payoff all of the liabilities of the business (and in all likelihood, the income tax owed as a result of the gain realized on the sale of the assets) from purchase price paid to you by the financial buyer.
		The LBO Valuation Model analyzes the value of your business from the point of view of a "financial buyer" who owns no other businesses in your industry and, therefore, expects all of its investment return to result solely from the future operations of your business.
		From a timing standpoint, the LBO Valuation Model assumes that the financial buyer intends to purchase your business at the beginning of year two (2) of your multi-year forecast; and intends to own your business for the ensuing four (4) years, and then sell the business.

	Gulf Times Newspaper - Qatar, Gulf and World News - Finance & Business

		Such leverage, which multiplies a hedge fundâ€™s financial firepower by a factor of 10, compares with a level of three or four times last year, he added.

	Taking a Chance on Debt for Financial Leverage Dummies Resource > Personal Finance
		A business can realize a financial leverage gain by making more EBIT (earnings before interest and income tax) on the amount borrowed than the interest on the debt.
		Using owners' equity as the basis for borrowing is referred to as financial leverage, because the equity base of the business can be viewed as the fulcrum, and borrowing is the lever for lifting the total capital of the business.
		For a simple example, assume that debt supplies one-third of the total capital of a business (and owners' equity two-thirds), and the business's EBIT for the year just ended is a nice, round $3,000,000.

	Fool.com: Boring Cornucopia (Bore Port) August 20, 1999
		On Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A), when I talk about underwriting gains or losses as a percentage of float and how that translates into cost of capital, remember that the underwriting gain or loss after taxes then goes into either cost of capital or into the return on invested capital calculation.
		At the same time, I don't see it as having an implicit cost, such as you have with equity capital, and I don't see it as having any explicit cost other than what is reflected in expenses at the time the income is earned.
		This is very unusual and fits perfectly well with an investment style where management doesn't believe that good long-term returns are available in investments with longer maturities, including equities.
