Smart Task (Solution)

Task Q1:While preparing a financial model what are the assumptions

we need to take. Please list down the list of assumptions with the
values, assuming the project will be set up in India.

Task Q1 Solution:
The assumptions should be serious and reasonable numbers and thus should be a product of
proper research but also critical thinking. For instance, a new start up has increased needs in
marketing and thus should not blindly use the average spending of a few big, mature companies in
the sector.
Project finance models start with some assumption- how much you estimate to spend constructing
the project, what percentage of financing will come from equity financing versus debt, and also cost
of different debt items. Usually, the assumptions are split into two- financing and operating
assumptions. The assumptions are classified as:
1. Project assumptions:
 
⮚ Completion time- 20 years
⮚ Land size in Sq. ft.- 3500
⮚ Deposit- 35% of annual rent
⮚ Debt repayment- 15 years.
⮚ Monthly Rent- 3,00,000
