Regional Retail Recovery Analysis
A comprehensive financial assessment of 15 regional retail businesses in New South Wales, examining recovery patterns post-pandemic. The analysis identified key performance indicators that predicted successful adaptation, helping similar businesses optimize their financial strategies. The project involved cash flow modeling, break-even analysis, and risk assessment frameworks tailored to regional market conditions.
Sustainable Energy Portfolio Assessment
An in-depth evaluation of renewable energy investment opportunities across Australia, focusing on solar and wind projects. Students developed a comprehensive risk-return analysis framework that incorporated environmental impact metrics alongside traditional financial measures. The research examined market volatility, government policy implications, and long-term sustainability factors affecting investment decisions in the clean energy sector.
Housing Affordability Impact Study
A detailed financial analysis examining housing affordability trends across major Australian cities, with particular focus on Brisbane and Perth markets. Students created predictive models to forecast housing price movements and assessed the financial impact on different demographic groups. The study included mortgage stress analysis, rental yield calculations, and comparative market assessment tools that local councils now reference for urban planning decisions.
