1. With regard to Efficient Market Hypothesis, test FTSE 100 data covering the most recent 2 year period for weak form efficiency using regression analysis and hypothesis testing. You are specifically required to:

1. Create an equally weighted portfolio (A) of 5 random companies* from the index. Calculate monthly logarithmic returns for that portfolio.
2. Create an equally weighted portfolio (B) of 5 companies using technical analysis (i.e. for the first month of the 2 year period select 5 companies with the steepest positive slope of the regression line representing daily share price movements). For this you need to screen the entire index.
3. Correctly specify the hypothesis for testing weak form market efficiency.
4. Test the data representing logarithmic returns of the two portfolios for weak form efficiency by means of the one tail independent samples T-test selecting an appropriate level of significance.
5. Discuss your findings in terms of the results of the test.
6. Critically evaluate generalizability of your findings in terms of contemporary empirical study findings on weak form market efficiency and Random Walk Theory.

1. Select a company** from FTSE 350 and calculate its Weighted Average Cost of Capital. Demonstrate how the WACC changes with the level of indebtedness of the company. You are specifically required to:

1. Select and justify an appropriate data set representing historical levels of indebtedness and the corresponding WACC for the chosen company.
2. Conduct correlation analysis of the two variables (WACC and debt).
3. Interpret the results with reference to the traditional view on the WACC and theories such as Modigliani and Miller.
4. Identify one specific investment project that this company discloses most information about and with reference to it discuss the relationship between the WACC and investment appraisal
