Analysis Report Assignment Help

Assignment Task: You are working as part of a team in the Research Department of a major ship brokerage firm. Your boss, Christopher Robins, is travelling abroad. During his absence, he advises you to prepare an Investment Analysis Report and present it to an important shipping client, Alan Sparks, over a possible shipping investment. The investment involves the acquisition (and subsequent sale after five years) of a 5-year old Panamax Dry Bulk vessel. You are required to prepare both an economic and financial analysis for the proposed investment, taking any assumptions necessary. You should always provide a critical analytical perspective, providing advice and recommendations based on economic arguments and research evidence. As part of your analysis you may try to cover the following (non-exhaustive) list of items, using tables and graphs where appropriate: 1.Fundamental analysis of the underlying commodities being transported with this vessel; Importing nations (Demand pattern) / Exporting nations (Supply pattern). 2. Freight Rates: Employment arrangement under which you propose for the vessel to be employed, the competition that this vessel faces and historical freight rates, discussing where we are in the shipping cycle, the freight rate the vessel currently earns and the rate you expect it will earn during the following five years. 3. Asset Values: Historical and present prices of the specific asset, critically discussing the appropriateness of the investment from a timing perspective and the estimated price of the vessel five years from now. 4. Shipping Cycle: Show where we are in the shipping cycle for the specific shipping asset class. 5. Underlying risks for this asset class and the employment strategy you propose. 6. A short discussion on alternate financing strategies with appropriate financing structure can be employed for acquiring the recommended vessels. 7. Short financial analysis, to be carried out as per “Example 1: Second-Hand Vessel Financing” in our lectures. You are invited to make any assumptions you consider appropriate. The financial analysis should ideally have a cash-flow projection; it should establish a Net Cash Flow per period (quarter or semi-annual) and calculate the project's equity Internal Rate of Return (IRR). 8. Summary Recommendation to Mr Alan Spark (the investor).
