Customer Reviews

Good book!

This book is great to develop a good understanding of Principles of project finance. The treatment is practical and reiterates the concepts through case studies.

Good Text

If you're forced to read a project finance text for a college course or for any other reason, then this one is pretty good. The writing is crisp and clear, the case studies are genuinely helpful, the length is manageable, and the reader isn't overwhelmed with tiny print, mindnumbing details, or esoteric math. But let's face it, it IS still a finance text...hence my four-star rating.

Calculation error in Chapter 7 ?

Is there a calculation error in Chapter 7? The example is for calculating ATCF of Rocky Mountain project. The initial equipment investment of $55M is capitalized with $5M residual value. $5M of the $6M startup cost is also capitalized. However, the depreciation taken over the next 10 years is only $5M [$55M - $5)/10]. The capitalized $5M startup cost seems to be forgotten. Anyone else noticed this?

Amazing finance tool.

One of the best books I've ever read. Extremely useful and updated. Strongly recommended.
