You judge the ponds to be capable of producing a gross margin per pond hectare of $50,000 starting in year 2 (no income or variable costs in year 1). You expect the annual overheads of running this prawn farm would be $100,000 which will start from year 1. The initial capital investment of land, infrastructure and ponds will maintain their purchase value in real terms over the life of the project.

The required real rate of return of the investor is 6 per cent per annum. All figures shown are real terms, and are…
