Description
This was a group assignment and presentation, and our topic was about vertical farming.
I am responsible for the third part about Investment analysis (calculation of profitability). I need a PPT and presentation for me to talk about. The number of words may be about 4-500 words or it is up to you.
Need to answer the following:
What kind of parameters are necessary for calculation?
What are the numbers for each parameter?
What is the size of the initial investment cost?
How do you raise the investment (debt or equity in what ratio?)
Calculation of profitability: 1) Payback Period, 2) Present Value, and 3) Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
I think most of the speech time should be spent on the last part of the Calculation of profitability: 1) Payback Period, 2) Present Value, and 3) Internal Rate of Return (IRR).
You may need to use Excel to calculate, please send it to me and include the screenshot in the PPT.

to research the technologies of your choice, analyze them based on the
suggested instructions, and make progress and final presentations.

1. Technology (Project) Overview
p What kind of technology? How does it work? Describe them in detail.
p Who (what companies) has the technology? How has the technology
been developed?
p What are the competing technologies (if there are any)?

material. The research that you are illustrating in your presentation
should be based on academic studies – please research your topic
among academic journals and address your research topic in the
academic context.

Two types of investment:
n Debt investment
n Equity investment
Calculation of Return:
n Payback
n (Net) Present Value
n IRR (Internal Rate of Return)
Example:
-100 + 20/(1+r) + 20/(1+r)2+ 20/(1+r)3+52/(1+r)4=0
r=3.98%

The problem with the payback period is that it ignores the value of time.
Question: Do you want to receive $100 today or a year later? (Which
does it make financial sense to choose?)
5
If the interest rate 3%, the value of the money a year later is:
100*(1.00+0.03)=103
Then, what is the value of $100 a year later at 3% interest rate (or
discount rate) is TODAY?
x*(1+0.03)= 100
x
=100/(1+0.03)
=97 (This is called “Present Value.”)
If it is 100 two years later…
100/(1+0.03)2=94.3
Time is money.
Show excel.
6
The interest rate is the discount rate.
The Present Value (PV) is the value of cash today.
The sum of the cash today that is expected in the future is called Net
Present Value (NPV).

What about the rate of return (or the discount rate) when the NPV is 0?
This is called “Internal Rate of Return (IRR).”
The IRR is the interest rate. $100 investment at 3% IRR is $103 next
year.
Show excel.

Two cases: Which case is more financially attractive?
Case A: Project investment with $20 earning every year and sell the facility at $32 in
Year 4.
Case B: Bond investment with 3% coupon and receive the full investment back in
Year 4.
For both investments, the total amount of earned cash is $112.

Internal Rate of Return
Case A(Project investment):
Case total in PV
=-100+20/(1+0.03)+20/(1+0.03)2+20/(1+0.03)3+52/(1+0.03)4
=2.8
Case B(Bond investment):
Cash total in PV
=-100+3/(1+0.03)+3/(1+0.03)2+3/(1+0.03)3+103/(1+0.03)4
=0
Case A is financially more attractive by $2.8.
11
Internal Rate of Return
If you calculate the IRR…
Case A(Project investment):
-100 + 20/(1+r) + 20/(1+r)2+ 20/(1+r)3+52/(1+r)4=0
r=3.98%
Case B(Bond investment):
-100 + 3/(1+r)+3/(1+r)2+3/(1+r)3+103/(1+r)4 = 0
r=3.00%
In principle, if the IRR is higher than the hurdle rate (the rate of return
that could have occurred otherwise in another investment opportunity),
for example, the interest rate of loan from the bank, it is concluded that
the investment is financially attractive.
12
Can we judge then that Case A (project investment) is more attractive
than Case B (bond investment)?
In reality, however, the risk of project investment can be much higher
than the bond investment. It is necessary to consider project-specific,
business-specific, and other types of risk holistically.
13
Financial risk assessment: What are the project-specific, businessspecific, and other types of risk?
The market in fresh Medlar is weak and a large amount of dried Medlar is sold in other
regions. It is expected that the market in Medlar is faced with problems including high cost
on processing, absence of regional brands, as well as unfavored choice by local residents.
