    Dear TheHills Writer,

    I hope you can continue my order as you were the one that created my construction model!

    please no plagiarism! and use Harvard style and citations when needed!

    I have to submit a term paper demonstrating my understanding of fundamental infrastructure finance concepts, max 2500 words so I put a 7 page requirement because I want to leave room for myself to edit

    Instructions:
    In this summative assignment, you now have the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of fundamental infrastructure finance concepts. In 2,500 words, please discuss:

    1)    the basic concepts, characteristics, and differences of corporate and project finance;
    2)    the advantages and disadvantages of different capital structures for infrastructure financing; and
    3)    the factors affecting the cost of capital of infrastructure projects and their resulting impact on project appraisal/evaluation and delivery.

    To address these themes thoroughly, you should base your reflection on academic and industry references as well as content presented over the course of the module. Your writing should be thoughtfully presented, coherent, concise, and properly referenced using the Harvard citation style.

    You already have my lecture slides from my previous order but let me know if you need them again
