Nashville Co. presently incurs costs of about 12 million Australian dollars (A$) per year for research and development expenses in Australia. It sells the products that are designed each year, and all of the products sold each year are invoiced in U.S. dollars. Nashville anticipates revenue of about $20 million per year, and about half of the revenue will be from sales to customers in Australia. The Australian dollar is presently valued at $1 (1 U.S. dollar), but it fluctuates a lot over time. Nashville Co. is planning a new project that will expand its sales to other regions within the United States, and the sales will be invoiced in dollars. Nashville can finance this project with a 5-year loan by (1) borrowing only Australian dollars, or (2) borrowing only U.S. dollars, or (3) borrowing one-half of the funds from each of these sources. The 5-year interest rates on an Australian dollar loan and a U.S. dollar loan are the same.
