Explain four types of risks in PPP arrangements in Ghana's healthcare sector.

a) In Ghana, the collaboration between public institutions and private entities in the healthcare sector has become increasingly noteworthy, particularly through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements. These partnerships are essential for expanding healthcare infrastructure, improving service delivery and ensuring access to quality healthcare for all citizens. For instance, the Government of Ghana has agreements with private companies to build hospitals, supply medical equipment, or manage healthcare facilities. One of the critical aspects of PPP arrangements in healthcare is allocating risks between the public and private partners. Effective risk allocation is crucial to the success of these partnerships, guaranteeing that both parties are driven to fulfil their obligations and that the project can deliver the expected benefits to the public. Required: Explain FOUR types of risks associated with a PPP arrangement in the health sector.

The company is forecasting its profit after tax to grow by 15% per year for the next three years (2024-2026) and onwards by 8% per year. Kakape’s cost of equity capital is estimated to be 12% per year. Dividends may be assumed to grow at the same rate as profits. Assume that the 2023 dividend per share ended up as GH$0.07 and that all dividends will be paid at the end of the financial year. Required: Using the dividend valuation model, determine whether Kakape’s shares are under or overvalued in 2023. (7 marks)

CSME – Nov 2016 – L2 – Q3 – Ethics in Business

Evaluate whether the decision to build a retail mega store in Ibadan instead of Lagos is ethical using Tucker's five-question model.

An indigenous company wants to set up a retail mega store in Ibadan, chosen for its population density and lower overhead costs compared to Lagos. In Ibadan, electricity supply is more consistent, and operational costs, including salaries, rent, and transportation, are significantly lower.
