Drysdale Co. (a U.S. firm) is considering a new project that would result in cash flows of 5 million Argentine pesos in 1 year under the most likely economic and political conditions. The spot rate of the Argentina peso in 1 year is expected to be $.40 based on these conditions. However, it wants to also account for the 10 percent probability of a political crisis in Argentina, which would change the expected cash flows to 4 million Argentine pesos in 1 year. In addition, it wants to account for the 20 percent probability that the exchange rate may only be $.36 at the end of 1 year. These two forms of country risk are independent. Drysdale’s required rate of return is 25 percent and its initial outlay for this project is $1.4 million. Show the distribution of possible outcomes for the project’s net present value (NPV).
A Canadian firm is evaluating an investment in Indonesia. The project costs 580 billion Indonesian rupiah and it is expected to produce an income of 280 billion Indonesian ruplah a year in real terms for each of the next 3 years. The expected inflation rate in Indonesia is 11% per year and the firm estimates that an appropriate discount rate for the project would be about 5% above the risk-free rate of interest. Calculate the net present value of the project in dollars. Assume a spot exchange rate of $.000112/Rupiah. The interest rate is about 15% in Indonesia and 4% in Canada (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter your answer in millions of Canadian dollers.) NPV of the project
You are analyzing a very low-risk project with an initial cost of €120000. The project is expected to return €40000 the first year, €50000 the second year and €60000 the third year.

Please answer fast then only i ll upvote. Thank You port Cruises is looking at a new project in Peru. The project will cost 10 million sols. The cash flows are expected to be 3.00 million sols per year for 6 years. The current spot exchange rate is 3.5 sols per dollar. The risk-free rate in the US is 3.0%, and the risk-free rate in Peru 5.0%. The dollar required return on the project is 11%.

5. Suppose you are evaluating the following potential investment project: Spend $34 million today on a factory in Alabama that will be completed in 1 year. You expect to receive $12 million in profits from this factory at the end of the second year, at which time you also expect to sell the factory to Toyhonda, a Japanese competitor, for a further $30 million. The market interest rate is 9%. (Assume the inflation rate is constant at 0, and is expected to remain so for the duration of the above investments.) Would this plan generate profits enough to cover the investment cost? Yes b. No c. break-even (i.e., no profit nor loss) a.
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. $
A multinational security software company is planning an overseas expansion that will cost $50 million of today’s dollars 3 years from now. Due to a robust economy in Europe, the cost is expected to increase by 15% per year in each of the next 3 years. Assuming the inflation rate is 4% per year, determine the required annual deposit into a fund that earns the market rate of 10% per year to ensure that the amount needed in 3 years will be available. Also, write the spreadsheet function that displays the annual deposit directly.
