In this project, you will be required to apply the concepts that you have learned in the course to arrive at real-world solutions. The project has been divided into multiple smaller questions in order to test your ability to think all the steps and attention to detail.

In this project, you would represent a business magnate who has decided to expand his growing portfolio of companies. Already a key player in the automotive industry, now you're planning to step into EVs or all-electric vehicles. For this next stage of your plan, you are looking for battery manufacturers who might help you in establishing the production facility.

One of your friends told you about the Green Energy Company. It is a small business that has been in the battery manufacturing business for the past 20 years. In this project, you would be evaluating the company for its worth and taking a decision on whether or not you should buy it. In another case, you will also be evaluating a few projects to decide on the next investment for the company. Finally, you will take an investor's perspective to decide if the current performance of the company makes it a lucrative investment opportunity or not.
