Suppose that a committee has been set up to evaluate and propose improvements to the current criteria used in Shariah stock screening and that you have been asked to provide inputs and suggestions. What are the recommendations on how the Shariah stock screening process and/or the criteria used can be improved?

Expert Solution

Answer :-

The SAC of SC screens listed shares based on certain methodology. As a preliminary screening, companies which activities are not contrary to Shariah principles will be classified as Shariah-compliant securities. On the other hand, companies will be deemed as Shariah non-compliant if they are involved in the following core activities

Financial services based on riba (interest)
Gaming and gambling
Manufacture or sale of non-halal products or related products
Conventional insurance
Entertainment activities that are non-permissible according to Shariah
Manufacture or sale of tobacco-based products or related products
Stock broking or share trading on Shariah non-compliant securities, and
Other activities deemed non-permissible according to Shariah

For companies with activities comprising both permissible and non-permissible activities, the SAC of SC measures level of mixed contributions from permissible and non-permissible activities towards turnover and profit before tax of a company. The SAC of SC uses benchmarks based on Ijtihad (Shariah based reasoning). Where the contributions of non-permissible activities exceed the benchmark, the securities shall be classified as Shariah non-compliant.

Instructions: For each solid described, set up, BUT DO NOT EVALUATE, a single definite integral that represents the exact volume of the solid. You must give explicit functions as your integrands, and specify limits in each case. You do not need to evaluate the resulting integral. 1. The solid generated by rotating the region enclosed by the curves y = x^2 and y = x about the line x-axis.

NASA has been working with utility companies to set up expensive power generating windmills. In order for a site to be effective, the average wind speed must be more than 20 mph. At a specific site, NASA took a sample of forty-five wind speed readings. The sample average wind speed is 21.7 mph with a standard deviation of 4.2 mph. NASA will only build the windmill if they are sure that the true average wind speed is greater than 20...
