Which of the following may reduce conflict of interest? The life of a large-scale project may be divided into three phases:

The period during which the project is conceived, the Project Contracts are negotiated, signed, and come into effect, and the equity and project-finance debt are put in place and available for drawing—the end of this process is known as “Financial Close” . This phase is more complex than it might appear at first sight, and can easily run on for several years. Construction. The period during which the project finance is drawn down and the project is built—the end of this process will be referred to hereafter as “Project Completion .” Operation. The period during which the project operates commercially and produces cash flow to pay the lenders’ debt service and the investors’ equity return. Question 3 1 / 1 pts Correct! The project company cannot carry out any other business which is not part of the project. The project company may be engaged in a variety of profitable business activities within its industry. The project company must be incorporated in the country in which the project is being carryied out. For efficiency purposes, the project company must be a multi-purpose organization. The project company lies at the center of all the contractual and financial relationships in project finance. These relationships have to be contained inside a project finance “box”, which means that the project company cannot carry out any other business which is not part of the project. Project finance depends on the lenders’ ability to evaluate the project on a stand-alone basis. Question 4 1 / 1 pts 20-30% of the total project cos 30-45% of the total project costs 15-30% of the total project costs Correct! 5-10% of the total project costs Which of the following statements is true regarding project finance?

Project sponsors need to understand that there is always a risk that the project may not move forward, and all these costs will have to be written off. Having a cost-control system in place to properly capture and allocate costs is an important element of the project development phase. Question 5 1 / 1 pts Correct! Debt to equity ratio Equity to debt ratio Debt to revenue ratio Equity to capital ratio Debt-to-equity ratio is a measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total liabilities by stockholders' equity. It indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company is using to finance its assets. Leverage is the amount of the fixed cost of capital, principally debt, in a firm’s capital structure relative to its operating income. It is also defined as the ratio of debt-to-total assets or debt-to- capital. Question 6 1 / 1 pts Correct! Offer priority claim to the lenders against the assets of the project. Offer priority claim to the investors against the assets of the project. Offer priority claim to the lenders against the assets of the sponsors. Offer priority claim to the contracting authority against the assets of the project. Financial leverage is determined by the A primary condition for obtaining project-finance debt is to

Therefore, investors assume the highest financial risk, but at the same time they receive the largest share in the project’s profit (pro rata to the money they have at risk) if it goes according to plan. Question 7 1 / 1 pts Correct! Project finance is not the same thing as financing projects, because projects may be financed in many ways. Project finance is the same thing as financing projects, because projects may be financed in many different ways. Project finance is about public-private partnership (PPP) projects, in which a government agency grants licenses to a private sector company to manage a public infrastructure. Project finance is about private-sector projects where projects are financed by large companies raising corporate loans. Project finance is a method of raising long-term debt financing for major projects through financial engineering, based on lending against the cash flow generated by the project alone. Project finance depends on a detailed evaluation of a project’s construction, operating and revenue risks, and their allocation between investors, lenders, and other parties through contractual and other arrangements. Project finance is not the same thing as financing projects, because projects may be financed in many ways. Traditionally, large scale public-sector projects in developed countries were financed by public- sector debt; private-sector projects were financed by large companies raising corporate loans. In developing countries, projects were financed by the government borrowing from the international banking market, development-finance institutions such as the World Bank, or through export credits. These approaches have changed, however, as privatization, deregulation, and the introduction of private finance through public-private partnerships have changed the approach to financing investment in major infrastructure projects, transferring a significant share of the financing burden to the private sector.
