The establishment of a production facility on the outskirts of Hanoi would cost US$480m. An initial 10% is payable immediately with the remaining 90% payable at the end of year 1. The Vietnamese government incentivises foreign direct investment, with incentives including capital grant funding of up to 50% of the initial capital investment, payable in equal instalments over 5 years, starting in year 1. No writing down allowance is available on any element of the capital expenditure as a result of the capital grant provision. The grant funding is repayable if the company leaves Vietnam within 5 years. In addition, a working capital investment of US$96m would be required at the outset of the investment. A subsidiary company (Jasmine Vietnam) would be the corporate vehicle through which the company would operate in Vietnam. US$30,000 has already been incurred to date exploring the legal structure of a company in Vietnam. A loan facility of US$480m would be established with Bank Vietnam to finance the construction of the production facility, with the interest rate cost expected to be 12%. In addition, an overdraft facility of US$100m would be established with an interest rate cost of 15%. Use the overall Group cost of capital benchmark for investments of this nature of 10% to appraise this capital proposal. The following plant projections have been provided and are expressed in current terms.
