Good afternoon John,
Can you please advise me on the below:
1. What is the correct approach to inter-company loan from parent to oversees subsidiary established – shall tax shield on such loan be included in finance effect? Or there is no effect on Group cash flows at all…and is here a parallel between inter-company trade and inter-company loan
2. I went through management fees in one of questions which were not considered cash flow at all and not included in basic NPV calculations but I am thinking about royalties which appear twice in questions on international inv appraisal- once in oversees subsidiary and once in parent cash flow – is not it the same case?
Thank you,
Sergey

2. Without seeing the actual question, it is difficult to answer. Normally, if the subsidiary were actually paying a fee to the parent, then I would expect to see it as an outflow in the subsidiaries cash flows, and an extra inflow in the parent’s cash flows.
