Finance PPP opportunity

FINAL COURSE PROJECT The Goal: The goal of the assignment is to create a 10-12-page argumentative (or position) essay (not including the cover page and the reference pages) utilizing at least eight selected peer-reviewed journal articles. The Writing Prompt: You will examine the use of public/private partnerships (PPPs) in aiding an organization with a problem (see https://t.ly/JVG6Y for information on PPPs and https://t.ly/gjR16 for examples of PPPs). Further, you will argue either for or against using a PPP to address a problem. Find a problem open to a PPP opportunity: Search the Web and find a problem that may benefit from PPP financing—the problem should be able to use a mix of private (debt, notes, and cash) and public financing (bonds). If you need inspiration for finding a problem, then remember that https://t.ly/gjR16 offers examples of PPPs. Think about the PPP opportunity: Using what you learned in this course, create a description of the proposed investment opportunity, the goals and mission of the opportunity, the financial impact of the opportunity, the financial considerations for all the stakeholders, and a discussion of the private and public funding mechanisms. Further, identify the opportunity’s assumptions, risk factors, and microeconomic and macroeconomic factors. Remember to include estimates of the cost of capital and total funding required. If possible, estimate the WACC for public and private financings. Take a position: Establish whether you wish to argue for or against the PPP opportunity.
