Medical clinics are core institutes that cover the primary medical care in Korea. Financial viability of the clinics is essential for them to conduct their roles and functions, and can be improved by increasing their operating profitability. On this ground, this study aimed at finding important factors that affect the operating profitability, and thereby at suggesting strategic alternatives that can contribute to the improvement of the profitability. Operating margin was set as a dependent variable, and such factors as general management conditions, number of visits, medical revenue, marketing activities, input resources, medical cost as independent variables. Nineteen hypotheses related to the variables were established and tested using data collected from 138 sample clinics for the year 2003. The results of the study are as follows : Firstly, such variables as percent ratio of the depreciation plus rent costs to total administration costs, type of clinical department manifested whether medical, surgical, or quasi-surgical, percent ratio of the interior facility investment to total fixed assets, and total number of outpatient visit are important factors that affect, positively or negatively, the medical profitability of the clinics. Secondly, following measures are needed to be established and implemented to improve the medical profitability. (1) Administration costs share 53.2% of the total medical costs, and depreciation plus rent costs 16.3% of the total administration costs. This implies that such measures as reinforcement of marketing activities, establishment of the cooperative utilizing system of the facility and equipment, or group practice are needed to increase cost-effectiveness. (2) Occupancy rate of the clinics with inpatient bed is as low as 45.5%, causing high fixed costs and low medical profitability. For its improvement, the resource input structure should be reorganized. Thirdly, in the future, a study that can increase sample representativeness of the study and explanation power of the variables should be performed for each type of clinical department to find more specific determinant factors and to contribute to the improvement of the medical profitability of the clinics.

International capital movement has made progress at global liberalization of finance and foreign exchange, international monetary norm changing into floating exchange rate system, easiness of collection of information and trade at improvement of information communication technology from early of 1970's. Results of empirical test for relation between foreign exchange rate or various determination factors of foreign exchange rate and interest rate are followed by next sentences. First, according to relation between foreign exchange rate and interest rate, correlation for each of variables after OECD entrance is increased. But, long-term & short-term interest rate is affected by Hanbo & Kia's bankruptcy, continuous large scale corporates bankruptcy and crisis of foreign exchange. Therefore, financial instability is occured. If portfolio investment fund has been inflow as it is mollified by continuous shortage of foreign exchange and fall of country's credit rating, it is expected to have positive effect for long-term & short-term interest rate from appreciation of won against dollar. Second, results from relation between determination factor of foreign exchange rate and interest rate are followed by next sentences. If surplus of current account and goods account is continued, yield of corporate bond is to be stable. But, margin of surplus is expected to diminish after second quarter 98, and difference between external and domestic interest (after adjusting foreign exchange rate) is to be diminished. And if net inflows of foreign investor's fund (stock and bond) is diminished, it is to have negative effect for yield of corporate bond. According to foreign investor's investment movement of previous years, hedge fund were stayed at least during two years in Mexico. It means that sudden capital outflow is not to be happened at Korea. But if external factors from depreciation of yen and China's renminbi are instable, interest rate is expected to increase from capital's outflows. Third, if it is to decrease instability of foreign exchange rate from increase in surplus of future current account, credit rating's upwardness, stability of yen and renminbi, foreign exchange rate is expected to be stable. It is expected to have continuous stability from short-term interest rate to long-term interest rate in this empirical test.

선박 조세 리스금융은 리스기간 초기에 선박에 대한 고속 감가상각을 통해 대규모 감가상각비(비용)를 발생시켜 세제혜택을 받고 그 세제혜택의 상당 부분을 선사(Lessee)에게 이전시켜 선사의 선박 구매 비용을 절감시켜 주는 선박 리스금융 기법의 하나이다. 이러한 선박 조세 리스제도는 일본이 1978년 저금리 기조 하에 기 축적된 자국 중소기업의 여유자금 활용 및 외국자본 유치 등을 위해, 프랑스는 1998년 자국의 조선과 해운 산업 지원을 위해 각각 도입하였다. 선박 조세 리스제도의 세제혜택 규모는 선박에 대한 감가상각률, 법인세율, 선박 또는 SPC 소유권 이전에 따른 매각차익에 대한 과세제도 등에 따라 국가별로 다르다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 실정에 가장 적합한 한국형 선박 조세 리스제도의 가상모형을 설계한 후 실제 거래에 적용할 경우 생성되는 세제혜택을 산출하여 프랑스와 일본의 세제혜택과 비교 분석하여 보았다. 분석결과, 세제혜택 규모를 국가별로 보면 프랑스 18.9%, 일본 13.6%, 한국(가상모형) 14.5%로 분석되었다. 이는 세제혜택 규모에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 국가별 감가상각률과 법인세율에 따라 차등화된 것이며, 결국 이 두개의 요율이 가장 높은 프랑스가 세제혜택 규모가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 한국형 가상모형의 경우 세제혜택을 선사와 투자자가 75 : 25로 분배할 경우 선사는 선가의 약 10.9%, 투자자는 선가의 약 3.6%에 해당하는 세제혜택을 향유하게 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 조세 리스제도의 세제혜택과 관련한 제한된 정보와 자료에도 불구하고 프랑스의 조세 리스제도를 기반으로 우리나라에 적용 가능한 한국형 선박 조세 리스제도의 가상 모형을 설계하여 보았다. 따라서 본 연구의 가상모형을 바탕으로 향후 해운·금융·법률 전문가 그룹의 보다 전문적이고 실용적인 후행연구가 활성화되어 멀지 않은 장래에 선박 조세 리스제도가 국내에 도입되기를 기대해 본다.

This paper has studied the impacts of the exchange rate, government debt as a percent of GDP and other relevant macroeconomic variables on aggregate output in the Philippines. A simultaneous-equation model consisting of aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply is applied. The dummy variable technique is employed to detect whether the slope and intercept of the real effective exchange rate may have changed. Real depreciation during 1998.Q1 - 2006.Q3, real appreciation during 2006.Q4 - 2016.Q1, a lower domestic debt as a percent of GDP, a lower real interest rate, a higher stock price or a higher lagged real oil price would raise aggregate output. Recent trends of real peso appreciation, declining domestic debt as a percent of GDP, lower real interest rates, and rising stock prices are in line with the empirical results and would promote economic growth. The authorities may need to continue to pursue fiscal prudence and maintain a stronger peso as the positive effect of real appreciation dominates its negative effect in recent years.

The aim of this paper is to empirically investigate whether and how domestic currency valuation is related to firm-level export competitiveness and profitability by using the unique firm-specific dataset on Bangladeshi nonfinancial firms which have been listed continuously from 2010 to 2018. To achieve the aim of this paper, 63 exporting firms are extracted from a total of 125 firms which have been continuously listed during 2010-2018 and used as the final sample firms. The Pedroni cointegration test reveals that export and import prices of the exporting firms are cointegrated in the short-run as well as long-run. The panel dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) analysis finds that a firm's export competitiveness is maintained by high import inputs even in the presence of depreciation of Bangladeshi currency against the US dollar. Finally, the DuPont analysis finds that the depreciated Bangladeshi currency enhances an exporter's profitability. Conclusions based on the findings are consistent regardless of exchange rate types, such as, real bilateral exchange rate and nominal or real effective exchange rate indexes. Consequently, the firm-level findings of this investigation suggest that undervalution of home currency is essential for Bangaldesh which is one of the frontier markets in South Asia whose exporting firms are mostly price followers in global markets.

Break-even analysis is a simple and useful tool in decisions and planning activities though its use is somewhat limited to short-term analysis. The subject is discussed in the fields of engineering economics, production management, cost and managerial accounting, finance, marketing, and so on. Conventional break-even analysis suits the case of stable price and low interest rate. In this paper, we try to overcome the limit by considering following factors, namely, time value of money, depreciation, tax, and capital gains. Also, considering learning effect, we increase applicability to a new project which raises certain changes such as a replacement of production process, an employee turnover, etc. Thus, we suggest a model which has a dynamic break-even quantity per period for the project. Furthermore, we examine the effect of inflation in break-even analysis.

The life-cycle of the K-1 tank has been 10 years simply applying that of the U.S. M-1 tank. Therefore, this paper is focused on determination of an economic life-cycle for the K-1 tanks. The current operation cost is adjusted by interest rate and the depreciation cost is applied in this study for more reliable estimation of the life-cycle cost. The Equivalent Annual Method is utilized and then various regression techniques are applied for deriving an effective economic life-cycle. The economic life-cycle of the K-1 tank results in 13 years in this study. considering 95% confidence interval, the life cycle of the K-1 tank is between 10.5 years and 15.5 years.
