Global Electronics Inc. invested $1,000,000 to build a plant in a foreign country. The labor and materials used in production are purchased locally. The plant expansion was estimated to pro-duce an internal rate of return of 20% in U.S. dollar terms. Due to a currency crisis, the currency exchange rate between the local currency and the U.S. dollar doubled from two local units per U.S. dollar to four local units per U.S. dollar.
Write a brief memo to the chief financial officer, Tom Greene, explaining the impact that the currency exchange rate change would have on the project’s internal rate of return if (1) the plant produced and sold product in the local economy only, and (2) the plant produced all product locally and exported all product to the United States for sale.
A plant of production capacity of 20,000 metric tons/year cost about U.S. $50
million 10 years ago in Mexico. The same manufacturer wishes to invest in
Malaysia for a plant of 45,000 metric tons/year. What is the projected cost in
$U.S. if inflation rate in Mexico can be assumed to be at 3% per annum and
the ratio of cost index between Mexico and Malaysia is Cost Mx/Cost My =
0.75?
Suppose that a US-based company is buying Chinese goods. Current exchange rate for Chinese
Yuan is 0.15 USD. The price of goods is ¥13,000 per unit. The company is buying 800 units per
year with a fixed contract for the next two years. Suppose that Chinese Yuan appreciate to 0.2
USD in the next year. The US importer will respond to this by lowering the demand to 600 units in
the third year.
What cash flow will be reflected on the balance of payments at the end of the third year?

- Richland Crane (A). Richland Crane (U.S.) exports heavy crane equipment to several Chinese dock facilities. Sales are currently 16,000 units per year at the yuan equivalent of USD23,000 each. The Chinese yuan (CNY) has been trading at CNY8.30=USD1.00, but a Hong Kong advisory service predicts the yuan will drop in value next week to CNY9.00 USD1.00, after which it will remain unchanged for at least a decade. Accepting this forecast as given, Richland Crane faces a pricing decision in the face of the impending devaluation. It may either (1) maintain the same yuan price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Chinese volume will not change; or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the yuan price in China to offset the devaluation, and experience a 10% drop in unit volume.

- A Northwest party products manufacturer has production facilities in Spokane, WA and Bangladesh. Both facilities have capacities of 1 million units each per year. The cost of production and distribution of party supplies from Spokane is $1/unit. The cost of production and distribution from Bangladesh is 60 Taka/unit. (Current exchange rate is $1=85 Taka). Over the next two years the exchange rate is expected to strengthen by 10% with a 0.5 probability and weaken by 10% with a probability of 0.5. The expected demand this year is about 1.8 million units. Over the next two years the demand is expected to increase by 10% with a probability of 0.5 and decrease by 5% with a probability of 0.5.

- Suppose a U.S. firm buys $200,000 worth of stereo speaker wire from a Mexican manufacturer for delivery in 60 days with payment to be made in 90 days (30 days after the goods are received).
