Non-fungible tokens (NFT) have received a lot of attention from the media and investors in recent years. But why do NFT receive so much attention? This paper answers this question by examining the relationship between investor attention and NFT market indicators. We find that returns, trading volume, and number of transactions are important drivers of NFT attention during the peak NFT sales period, whereas in the post-peak period until recently, returns and volume no longer maintain their significance for the attention. This means that the NFT market is maturing and needs to focus more on actual drivers, such as real-world adoption and utility, rather than just speculative hype, to sustain long-term interest.
Keywords—Non-fungible tokens, Investor attention, Google search volume index, Granger Causality Test, Vector Autoregression.

Description
Each student will do the following course project:
Based on an NPO of your choice (though only one NPO per class), prepare a financial analysis of the organization using the concepts and methods discussed in the course. This analysis should incorporate material presented in our various readings and class discussion.
Please note the following specifics concerning the project.
Financial Analysis of a NPO
1. Select a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization – no duplicates from other students, so “first come, first serve”.
2. Obtain copies of their tax return (the 990 in the United States) or annual financial statements for the past 2 years, to perform your ratio and financial analysis.
3. Conduct a financial analysis of the nonprofit organization (as we did with CJM in class), remember to include reviewing the cash flow statement.
4. Prepare a written report on your organization and submit it by noon on Monday July 15, 2024.
5. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation to the class (10 minutes) addressing the following items:
o Provide a summary of the organization, including its structure, mission, clients served.
o From your financial analysis:
▪ Tell us where the organization is today financially.
▪ How they got to where they are today (past financial performance).
▪ Identify “yellow” and “red” flags discovered in your analysis.
▪ Articulate any interesting or concerning financial trends discovered in your analysis.
▪ Forecast where you feel the organization will be 3 years from now and explain your reasoning.
This class project will provide you with the opportunity to show the knowledge gained through the course with regard to conducting an analysis of financial statements of an existing NPO. You can conduct this analysis using the organization’s financial statements, as well as the organization’s form 990. It is strongly advised that you look beyond just the numbers to conduct your financial analysis. You need to provide a pdf of the most recent form 990 tax return and most recent financial statements with your paper. This paper is not just about the numbers. Your task is to inform the reader of the financial position of the NPO based on the information available. Is the NPO doing well, or are they heading down the path to failure? Your analysis will require support and not just your “opinion”. Make sure you back up your analysis with relevant data.
While the length of your individual paper will depend greatly on the amount of effort and research you do, the final length should be no less than 5 pages and no more than 7 pages, using a 12-point Arial font, double spacing, (similar to this instruction sheet) plus appendix reflecting your sources. Your grade will be determined on the information presented in your paper including content, presentation, and writing ability (spelling, flow, and grammar).

Instructions: Please choose a company that is reasonable in size usually less than 10,000 employees. A large company will be extremely difficult for new accounting students. Please analyze, assess, and synthesize the Annual Report or Form 10-K or Form 20-F (whatever they call it) of the company you choose. You can find it on the Company’s website in the Investor Relations section. Please choose the most recent 10-K published by the Company. ※ You can/should probably choose a Company from the list we are providing i.e. either from Barron’s list of ‘The 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies Right Now’ OR from Corporate Knights’ list of ‘2022 Global 100 ranking’.

Forecasting Methods
Assignment
Your team continues working on the International Expansion project.
Refer to the International Expansion spreadsheet (xlxs), this time focusing on the revenue by location and licenses by region. Using this data, create a forecast for each of the next three years beyond the range of data provided in both of the two tabs. In this analysis, you will use multiple methods, compare the results, select the method you consider to be most accurate using forecasting metrics, and finally, report your analysis conclusions, and recommendations. Use the following forecasting methods in your analysis (refer to the readings and resources in this module to identify how to perform these tasks in Excel):
Naïve forecast
Plot with trendline and three-year moving average
Winter’s method—exponential smoothing (make your best estimates of smoothing constants for base only. This requires experimenting with the choice of α. The value of .7 is a reasonable starting option). Use the Exponential Smoothing function found in the data analysis add-in.
Create an Excel Forecast sheet-based forecast
Submission
Create a report in APA format on your analysis of items 1-4 of the list and include your recommendations. Along with your spreadsheet, include a two-to-three-page report summarizing the findings. Only your Word Document report will be graded. Therefore, it is important that you include the necessary charts, figures and tables in your report from your spreadsheet (screen clipping is ok).

Research Topic “Risks of International business”
Research Paper: This is a graduate course and students will be expected to research and write
papers summarizing in their own words what they have found on current topics from the weekly
readings. Research is a theoretical review of relevant literature and application of findings in the
literature to a topic related to a specific industry, field, or business problem.
The research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade or academic journals. While
Blogs, Wikipedia, encyclopedias, course textbooks, popular magazines, newspaper articles,
online websites, etc. are helpful for providing background information, these resources
are NOT suitable resources for this research assignment.
Please Note: The UC Library staff are very helpful with assisting students in using the UC
Online Library journal database. Please contact them if you have issues. In addition, the
instructor has provided additional resources, including a research tutorial, in the “Course
Resources” folder in the “Content” area of the course.
Assignment Requirements:
i. Choose a research topic from the chapter readings or from the list provided by your
professor.
ii. Research/find a minimum at least ten (10), preferably fifteen (15) or more, different peer-
reviewed articles on your topic from the University of the Cumberlands Library online
business database. The article(s) must be relevant and from a peer-reviewed source.
While you may use relevant articles from any time frame, current/published within the
last five (5) years are preferred. Using literature that is irrelevant or unrelated to the
chosen topic will result in a point reduction.
iii. Write a ten (10) to fifteen (15) page double spaced paper in APA format discussing the
findings on your specific topic in your own words. Note – paper length does not include
cover page, abstract, or references page(s).
iv. Structure your paper as follows:
a. Cover page
b. Overview describing the importance of the research topic to current business and
professional practice in your own words.
c. Purpose of Research should reflect the potential benefit of the topic to the
current business and professional practice and the larger body of research.
d. Review of the Literature summarized in your own words. Note that this should
not be a “copy and paste” of literature content, nor should this section be
substantially filled with direct quotes from the article. A literature review is a
summary of the major points and findings of each of the selected articles (with
appropriate citations). Direct quotations should be used sparingly. Normally, this
will be the largest section of your paper (this is not a requirement; just a general
observation).
e. Practical Application of the literature. Describe how your findings from the
relevant research literature can shape, inform, and improve current business and
professional practice related to your chosen topic.
f. Conclusion in your own words
g. References formatted according to APA style requirements
Grading Criteria:
 Content Knowledge & Structure (40 points): All of the requested components are
completed as assigned; content is on topic and related to corporate finance, critical
thinking is clearly demonstrated (few, if any, direct quotations from the source in the
paper); scholarly research is demonstrated; topics and concepts gained from the assigned
