Perth, Western Australia (WA), was once a booming rich mining state. According to Vetti Kakulas (2017), during the mid-2000s, the commodities boom resulted in more full-time jobs due to the high salaries offered by mining giants, attracting “FIFO workers”. Due to a huge decline in commodities price over the years, more than 20,000 full time jobs in the mining industry have been cut in the past two. “When the mining industry expands people move over from the eastern states” (Kakulas 2017), which will cause an increase in housing demand. Since the end of the boom, people have been leaving the state at a high rate due to an increasing unemployment

This Eng1513 portfolio is about my reflections on this course. In the reflection, it highlights how I accomplished my goals in improving the quality of reading, being a critical thinker, grammar and improve language proficiency. Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection. A critical thinker can understand links between ideas, approach and solve problems consistently, reflects on self, solve arguments and produce ideas. Academic writing style presents information that displays a clear understanding of a subject. It is based on pursuing readers to accept the writer's opinion, telling a story, explain and describe something. This portfolio will showcase my expectations of the course,

The structure of a project’s financing depends on the industry the transaction is taking place, the underlying business model and in particular the allocation of risks and responsibilities between the individual partners (Weber & Alfen, 2010).

As this table illustrates, many of the stakeholders are similar. However, there are significant differences in the asset providers and those entities with a direct financial interest. This variance drives major differences in the evaluation of investment in projects in either area, freight or passenger transportation. In freight operations, most often the assets are provided by private firms with a direct interest in the operation of freight transportation services on the asset. In most passenger transportation systems, the asset provider is a public entity, such as a transit authority.

Through our discussion this past week, we pondered the role of institutions in investment and the subsequent resulting growth. I hypothesize that institutional quality, measured through economic freedom, influences three separate mechanisms that determine the level of investment and its efficiency in creating growth. First, institutional quality determines how markets allocate investment capital, favoring both less risky and higher returning projects. Countries with institutions more consistent with economic freedom have lower taxation rates and less chance of asset seizure, making them more attractive destinations for investment capital. Secondly, prospective investment capital is less likely to be used to pay bribes or be confiscated by the governments of more economically free countries. Thus, the capital is more likely to create growth rather than be allocated towards unproductive means. Lastly, countries with more economic freedom should observe higher rates of return due to increased worker productivity and lower regulatory costs, creating more economic growth and allowing for further investment. In sum, investment in more likely to be allocated to countries with better quality institutions, the investment capital is more likely to be used towards productive projects in those countries, and finally, the investment capital should produce higher returns, leading to more economic growth. This is particularly relevant in the

If an investment in EPR system is made, cash flow is to be generated by several sources. There are four waves of implementation specified in the case over the period of 1999 - 2007. Calculate the cash flow for all waves due to (a) improved inventory (one-time, non-taxable), (b) expanded sales due to better product availability (continuous, taxable), and (c) enlarged margin (continuous, taxable).

Project finance transactions are typically either (i) limited recourse, where lenders do not assume the entire financial risk of the project and instead rely on mechanisms such as completion guarantees or parent guarantees, or (ii) non-recourse, where the revenues generated from the project and the project’s assets repay the indebtedness owed to the lenders. In addition to providing funds to complete new projects, the scope of project finance also allows project companies to expand existing projects or refinance existing indebtedness on existing projects at more favorable terms.
