1. Proper explanation about how value is created using project financing
Project financing helps in creating proper value by properly reducing the cost of funding,
by maintaining the financial flexibility, by enhancing the leveraging ratios and by minimizing the
corporate taxes so that such types of factor does not create negative impact on the budget that is
developed. However, project finance-based transactions are generally considered to be complex
undertakings as they have very much higher cost of borrowing when it is mainly compared with
the conventional financing as well as operating agreements which are further found to be quite
time consuming (Steffen, 2018). It is found that proper value is created with the help of project
financing by successfully avoiding contamination is risks within the project and by effectively
improving the plan of risk management that is prepared in the initial phase such that the risks
does create negative impact on the project finance. All this are mainly required so that the risks
that occur in the project can be effectively mitigated by avoiding its impact on the project
finance. Moreover, the cost that is mainly associated with market imperfections needs to be
eliminated successfully for effectively creating value in content to project finance (Pacudan,
2016). Additionally, for elaborating the economic motivation for proper utilization of project
finance, it is found that proper details about project finance characteristics needs to be provided
properly in detail.
2. Discussion of the impact of large-scale project financing on organizational
share price and cash flow
Project financing systems are found to be limited and therefore the amount of equity
players is needed to be injected. They generally need sponsors that have proper amount of cash

providing proper stream of investor’s confidence as the project generally grows. Secondly, it is
found that due to reduction in the funds of the sponsors, the risk gets minimized that further
ensures proper remittance of the risks that gets minimized with the help of loan terms as well as
conditions. It is very much noteworthy that the organization must have proper access for better
funding such that the assets associated with the firm gets encumbered with the help of the lenders
by effectively protecting the asset of the sponsors. The financing takes into proper consideration
of such type of factors as net present value helps in determining the cash flow and helps in
ensuring proper repayment (Bodiako et al. 2016). Moreover, the organization must match with
the revenue expectation of the organization by making a number of significant investments.
Additionally, the project finance is considered as proper form of financing that is generally
dependent on standalone entity which is created by the project sponsors with levered capital
structures which helps in showcasing that large-scale project financing have high impact on the
organizational share price and cash flow.
