Financial Modeling is the Process of Creating a Numerical Representation of Financial Performance for Strategic Decisions.
Financial Models rely on historical data, assumptions about future prospects (like sales, expenses, and investments), and core financial statements (income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements).
Intrinsic Valuation Methods (IVM) determine an asset's true worth based on its inherent characteristics and fundamental drivers, independent of market fluctuations or comparisons to similar assets.
IVM are crucial for investors seeking to identify undervalued or overvalued assets and make informed decisions.
Market-Value Based Valuation Methods (MVM) are a common approach to determining the value of its individual assets by comparing them to similar assets that have been bought and sold in the market.
MVM approach operates on the fundamental principle that if similar assets have sold at certain prices, then the asset in question should be worth a comparable amount.
Intrinsic Value vs Market Value
Intrinsic Value has multiple meanings, including the Value of an Asset or Security in Finance, and the value of something in itself in ethics. “The price a rational investor is willing to pay for an investment, given its level of risk.”
Expected Return is an important financial concept investors use when determining where to invest their funds. Calculating the expected return of a specific investment or portfolio allows you to anticipate the profit or loss on that investment based on its historical performance.
An Expected Return is calculated by multiplying potential outcomes by the odds of them occurring and then totaling these results. Expected returns cannot be guaranteed.
Multiple Formulas are available. One of the formula, preferred by US Department of Commerce for calculating the expected return of an asset given its risk is as follows:
ERi = Rf + βi (ERm − Rf)
• Where: • ERi = expected return of investment
• Rf = risk-free rate
• βi = beta of the investment
• (ERm − Rf) = market risk premium
Finance
Intrinsic value is the value of an asset or security based on an objective measure, such as its Cash Flows and financial performance.
This is different from the asset's market price, which can be influenced by emotions and opinions.
Investors use intrinsic value to determine if an investment is overvalued or undervalued.
For example, if a company's stock has a market price of $125 but an intrinsic value of $118, an investor might decide the stock is too expensive.
Ethics
Intrinsic value is the value of something that is valuable on its own, or "for its own sake".
It's different from Instrumental Value, or Extrinsic Value, which is the value something has because of its relation to something else that has intrinsic value. In Axiology, also known as Value Theory a branch of philosophy that studies value, Intrinsic Value is considered an Intrinsic Property.
Financial Modeling is the Process of Creating a Numerical Representation of Financial Performance for Strategic Decisions.
It combines Historical Financial Data, a crucial tool for decision-making, with assumptions about the future to estimate key financial metrics like revenue, expenses, and cash flow.
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital Assets include property such as homes, cars, stocks, bonds, investment properties, and even collectibles or art etc.
For businesses, a capital asset is an asset with a useful life longer than a year that is not intended for sale in the regular course of the business's operation. This also makes it a type of Production Cost.
The Value of an Asset is the maximum amount someone would pay to own it. It's calculated using a combination of subjective and objective measurements, and can be affected by a number of factors, including:
Risk: The asset's riskiness and the owner's risk aversion
Inflation: Whether the dividend and future price are adjusted for inflation
Depreciation: Deterioration due to age, use, exposure to the elements, or obsolescence
Asset-Based Approach
An asset-based approach is a type of business valuation that focuses on a company's Net Asset Value. The net asset value is identified by subtracting total Liabilities from total assets. There is some room for interpretation in terms of deciding which of the company's assets and liabilities to include in the valuation and how to measure the worth of each.
Equity
Equity represents the value of an investor's stake in a company, represented by the proportion of its shares. Owning stock in a company gives shareholders the potential for capital gains and dividends.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) represents a company's average after-tax cost of capital from all sources, including common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and other forms of debt. As such, WACC is the average rate that a company expects to pay to finance its business.

An enabling regulatory and institutional framework and a level playing field for conventional and Islamic banks is critical for the sound and stable growth of the Islamic Banking Industry.
While large banks continue to invest in Mobile Banking, FinTech companies, like Stripe, help small businesses conduct online payments, and investment broker Robinhood seeks to democratize investing and finance. These innovations have increased the number of financial providers available to consumers, borrowers, and businesses.
While the principles underpinning Islamic Finance have existed for many hundreds of years, the modern industry started to develop in 1975 with the establishment of the Islamic Development Bank. It has grown rapidly – in 2014 alone, the global market (measured by assets) grew by 12% to $2tn.
