    Notes on Assignment Submission
    1. All assignments are to be submitted online in the appropriate assignment submission folder
    on CloudDeakin. They are counted as “on time” if submitted by 5pm AEST or AEDST on
    the due date. No submission is permitted after 24 hours since the deadline.
    2. All on-campus students need to enrol in a group of 2 to 3 students to submit the
    assignment on CloudDeakin. Off-campus students have an option to do the
    assignment individually or to join a group of 2 to 3 students. You can form a group
    with any student from any campus, cohort or seminar group. The only requirement is that
    all members should be currently enrolled in MAF202 2016 Trimester 2. Both on-campus
    and off-campus students need to enrol in a group for assignment submission even if
    the assignment is done individually.
    3. Group Number can be found under the headline On-campus Groups ONLY and Off-
    campus Groups ONLY. A mixed group of on-campus and off-campus students should
    enrol in Off-campus Groups category. Students can enrol themselves into a group or
    remove themselves out of a group. Once you are enrolled in a group, you are not able to
    enrol into another group before removing yourself out of the group you are currently
    enrolled. The deadline for group enrolment is 5 pm Aug 30 2016. After this deadline, the
    member(s) of group will not be allowed to switch to another group.
    4. It is up to the group to manage the group dynamics and get equal contribution from all
    members. It is a good idea to appoint a leader to direct and coordinate the activities of the
    group, including allocating tasks (questions) among the group members. All group members
    are expected to discuss the assignment as a whole and contribute to preparing answers to all
    questions. Before the final submission of the assignment all group members are expected to
    review and edit all questions, as appropriate.
    5. When submitting online, you must check that you have submitted work correctly by
    following the instructions provided in CloudDeakin. This involves completion of the
    plagiarism statement by the student designated to submit the electronic copy on behalf of
    the group. Only one copy of the assignment per group is to be lodged.
    6. Each student will be required to participate in the research and completion of the set tasks
    equally. On the last page of the report, you need to have a Statement of Contribution
    which indicates the work done (in percentage) by each student.
    7. Each submitted report will be automatically scanned for plagiarism detection. If your work
    is similar to the work done by others, you will be given ZERO mark for this assignment and
    possibly be referred to the Student Misconduct Committee for a formal proceeding.
    8. While the Custom textbook is a good starting point, you will need to supplement it with research on
    the internet and various finance journals. You will need to reference APRA, RBA web site and
    Federal Reserve Bank of US as a minimum to source material for the assignment.
    9. The preferred method of referencing is according to the Harvard System. There is no excuse
    for incorrect referencing. If you use any source you MUST reference it and have in-text
    citation. That means that within or at the end of the paragraph you will have a reference.

    Assignment Tasks
    Task 1 (12 marks)
    The dramatic growth in information and communications technologies in the 1990s had led to
    the explosive growth of E-commerce. E-commerce refers to the type of business where buying
    and selling of products or a service is conducted through electronic transactions. This new
    business environment provides a lucrative opportunity for the financial industry to offer new
    products and services to serve the needs of e-business.
    1. Analyse the impacts of e-financial products and services on the flow of funds in the
    market. (4 marks)
    2. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of commercial banks operating in this
    environment. (4 marks)
    3. Identify and analyse key challenges faced by prudential authorities in regulating
    banking practices in this environment. (4 marks)
    Task 2 (10 marks)
    A considerable body of academic research supports the argument that the slope of the yield
    curve (i.e. the spread between short term and long term interest rates) is a reliable predictor of
    future economic activity. Investors and policy makers have extensively used yield curves as a
    simple forecasting tool in real time to better understand business cycles.
    1. Critically examine how changes in the slope of the yield curve provide possible
    explanation for changes in economic prospect of the Australian economy from March
    2011 to March 2015. (5 marks)
    Notes: For this task, students are required to construct slopes of the yield curves and plot the
    slopes together with the Australian economic growth over the same period.
    2. Economists often use combined indicators to reconcile explanations for what happened
    to the economy in the past as well as reaffirming their prediction of economic outlook
    in the future. Use the unemployment rate and building approvals indicators provided
    on CloudDeakin to justify the reliability of the yield slope as a leading indicator of the
    business cycle. (5 marks)
    Task 3 (14 marks)
    In the after mass of the European Debt Crisis, Basel III Capital Accord introduced by the
    Bank for International Settlements were implemented in Australia in Jan 2013 and have had
    significant impacts on the way commercial banks operate in Australia.
    1. Discuss the main reason(s) for the implementation of Basel III. (5 marks)
    2. Identify and discuss the outcomes the Australian Prudential and Regulation Authority
    (APRA) expects to achieve through this implementation. (4 marks)
    3. Countercyclical capital buffer (CCB) is one of the key focus of Basel III on the
    standards for risk-based capital of financial institutions. Demonstrate your
    understanding of systemic risk and the use of CCB to moderate systemic risk. (5 marks)
