An investor is planning to establish a new business to grow and produce tiger prawns in Northern Australia. The development proposal is for 20 hectares (ha) of ponds for prawn production at a total capital cost of $10,000,000 (including land purchase, new infrastructure and new ponds). You judge the ponds to be capable of producing a gross margin per pond hectare of $50,000 starting in year 2 (no income or variable costs in year 1). You expect the annual overheads of running this prawn farm would be $100,000 which will start from year 1. The initial capital investment of land, infrastructure and ponds will maintain their purchase value in real terms over the life of the project. New investment in machinery of $1,000,000 is also required to be spent straight away upon development starting and will have a salvage value in year 5 of 50 per cent of original purchase price. The required real rate of return of the investor is 6 per cent per annum. All figures shown are real terms, and are…

Carambola de Honduras. Slinger Wayne, a U.S.-based private equity firm, is trying to determine what it should pay for a tool manufacturing firm in Honduras named Carambola. Slinger Wayne estimates that Carambola will generate a free cash flow of 10 million Honduran lempiras (Lp) next year, and that this free cash flow will continue to grow at a constant rate of 8.5% per annum indefinitely. A private equity firm like Slinger Wayne, however, is not interested in owning a company for long, and plans to sell Carambola at the end of three years for approximately 10 times Carambola's free cash flow in that year. The current spot exchange rate is Lp14.3439/$, but the Honduran inflation rate is expected to remain at a relatively high rate of 15.0% per annum compared to the U.S. dollar inflation rate of only 3.0% per annum. Slinger Wayne expects to earn at least a 22.5% annual rate of return on international investments like Carambola. a. What is Carambola worth if the Honduran lempira were to…
