The current exchange rate is $1.60 = €1.00. The inflation rate in the U.S. is 6 percent
and in the euro zone 2 percent. The appropriate cost of capital to a U.S.-based firm for
a domestic project of this risk is 8 percent.
Find the euro-zone cost of capital.
Write it down in percent with two decimals places.
