1. Perform the economic analysis on this project, and provide complete cashflow for Contactor. You
must consider tax losses carryforward.

Tax paid will be zero for the year that the taxable income is negative. This negative taxable income for
that particular year, is to be carry forward to the following year, hence, it will reduce the taxable
income for the following year.

2. Plot and discuss the graph that represent the Net Cash Flow (NCF) and Cumulative Cash Flow
(CCF).
3. Determine NPV@ 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%.
4. Determine the IRR using both graph method and interpolation method, discuss if there is
difference on values obtained between these two methods.
5. Determine/calculate other economic indicators that can assist in decision making.
6. Perform Sensitivity Analysis using Tornado Diagram and Spider Plot for +/- 10%, 20% and 30%
changes on these parameter: - oil price, oil production, CAPEX, OPEX. Discuss your results gains
from both methods.
7. Assume that the company hurdle rate is 20%. Discuss either your company should proceed with
this project or not.
