A US MNC has invested in a project in Brazil for three years. 10m Brazilian Real were to be remitted every year for this project for next 3 years. The funds cannot be remitted due to blocked funds and company will have to reinvest it at 4% locally. Withholding tax rate and discount rate are 10% each. The exchange rate will be a constant value of $0.24. Calculate the NPV of this project if parent company invested $5m initially. $1,837,002 -$1,048,710 $799,392 -$65,857

A project in Japan will generate 130M Yen per year forever. Sunrise Corp. is a US firm that is considering investing in that project in Japan. The current risk-free rate in US is 7% and the risk-free rate in Japan is 5%. The approproate cost of capital for a US-based project of similar risk is 15.8%.

An Australian company, GHI Ltd, is examining a potential investment in England. The project is expected to cost GBP 100 million and have a salvage value of GBP 30 million at the end of its 4-year life. Revenues generated from the project are based on estimated annual sales of 15 million units at a price of £12 each. Variable costs are expected to be £4 per unit and fixed costs are expected to be GBP 12 million per year. The current exchange rate of AUD = 0.58 GBP and the AUD is expected to depreciate at 5% pa over the life of the project. The required return is 12% in AUD. Calculate the NPV of the project and determine whether it should be undertaken.
Carlson Inc. is evaluating a project in India that would require a $5.5 million after-tax investment today (t = 0). The after-tax cash flows would depend on whether India imposes a new property tax. There is a 50-50 chance that the tax will pass, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $1,150,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. If the tax doesn't pass, the after-tax cash flows will be $1,950,000 for 5 years. The project has a WACC of 12.0%. The firm would have the option to abandon the project 1 year from now, and if it is abandoned, the firm would receive the expected $1.15 million cash flow at t-1 and would also sell the property and receive $4.85 million after taxes at t-1. If the project is abandoned, the company would receive no further cash inflows from it. What is the value (in thousands) of this abandonment option? Do not round intermediate calculations.

Sandrine Machinery is a Swiss multinational manufacturing company. Currently, Sandrine's financial planners are considering undertaking a 1-year project in the United States. The project's expected dollar denominated cash flows consist of initial investment of $2,000 and a cash inflow the year of $2,400. Sandrine estimates that its risk-adjusted cost of capital is 10%. Currently, 1 US dollar will buy 0.91 Swiss franc. In addition, 1 year risk free securities in the US are yielding 3% while similar securities in Switzerland are yielding 1.50% a) If this project was instead undertaken by a similar U.S. based company with the same risk-adjusted cost of capital what would be the net present value and rate of return generated by this project?

The company plans a net investment of $7 million in the project. The current spot exchange rate is SF5.25 per dollar (SF = Swiss francs). Net cash flows for the expansion project are estimated to be SF5 million for 12 years and nothing thereafter. Based on its analysis of current conditions in Swiss capital markets, International Foods has determined that the applicable cost of capital for the project is 11 percent. Calculate the net present value of the proposed expansion project. Use Table IV to answer the questions below. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.20 million should be entered as 1.20, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places. $
Your firm is based in southern Ireland (and thereby operates in euro, not pounds) and is considering an investment in the United States. The project involves selling widgets. It will last for 5 years with a required initial investment of $1,180,000. The project will generate after- tax cash flow of $349,200 every year for 5 years. At the end of the project, the equipment is projected to be sold for $190,000, leading to an additional cash flow at the end of year 5. The spot exchange rate is $1.50 €1.00. The cost of capital to the Irish firm for a domestic project of this risk is 8 percent. The U.S. inflation rate is 3 percent; the Irish inflation rate is 2 percent. (a) What is the equivalent $ cost of capital? (b) Determine the NPV of the project in $. (c) Calculate NPV in € assuming the PPP holds. (d) What would be the NPV in $ if the US inflation rate is 2% and Irish inflation rate is 3%? Please show your calculation for all the above questions. Otherwise the mark wouldn't be earned.
