Suppose the multinational Milton Asset Extraction (MAX) is considering an overseas project in a country with substantial political risk. MAX predicts that the project will yield USD100 million each year for two years. The initial cost of the project is USD145 million. In any given year there is a 13% chance that the project will be expropriated by the host country’s government. The discount rate for the project is 8%. Calculate the expected net present
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%. What is the cost of capital if you are using the foreign currency approach? 17.8% 8.8% 20.8%

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).
You are analyzing a project with an initial cost of 130,000 pounds. The project is expected to return 20,000 pound the first year, 50,000 pound the second year, and 90,000 pound the third year. there is no salvage value. the current spot rate is 0.6211 pound. The nominal risk-free rate of return is 5.5% in the UK and 6% in the US. The return relevant to the project is 14% in the US. Assume that uncovered interest rate parity exists. What is the NPV of this project in US dollars using the approximate formula?
An MNC is considering establishing a two- year project in New Zealand with a USD$50 million initial investment. The required rate of return on this project is 11%. The project is expected to generate cash flows of NZ$15 million in Year 1 and NZ$35 million in Year 2, excluding the salvage value. Assume a stable exchange rate of USD$.70 per NZ$1 over the next two years. All cash flows are remitted to the parent. What is the break-even salvage value? about NZ$47 million about NZ$21 million about NZ$14 million about NZ$60 million about NZ$36 million
The company WHY is evaluating the possibility of building a warehouse (the project'). It implies an immediate investment cost (year zero) of €350 million. The discounted value (year zero) of expected cash flows is €275 million. However, WHY has the option to further invest €125 million within 1 year, which will enable it to triplicate the warehouse capacity, increasing by 60% the discounted value of cash flows. Assume the following: • Risk free interest rate: 2% per year. • The project gross value follows a multiplicative binomial process. • Method for the computation of remaining relevant inputs: compound annual growth. The market value of the shadow asset is given by S. Currently S = 18 and the estimation is that within 1 year S = 29 and S = 12 for the scenarios of favourable and unfavourable market evolution, respectively. In your answers to the next questions make plausible assumptions if necessary. In case you prefer, standard characters can be used (e.g b rather than B,…

Some costs and benefits of the project (in Kwacha values) are as follows: Construction costs: K500 million per year for three years Operating costs: K50 million per year Hydropower to be generated: 3 billion kilowatt hours per year Price of electricity: K0.05 per kilowatt hour Irrigation water available from dam: 5 billion liters per year Price of irrigation water: K0.02 per liter Agricultural product lost from flooded lands: K45 million per year Forest products lost from flooded lands: K20 million per year Assume that the project incurs no ecological and other costs besides the ones stated above. Do a formal cost-benefit analysis encompassing all of the quantifiable factors listed above. Assume that the lifespan of the dam is 10 years and that construction begins in Year 0. All other impacts start once the dam is completed and continue for 10 years. Use 5%…
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.
Read the following case carefully and answer the questions:A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A requires a Rs. 40 millionexpenditure on a long-scale integrated plant that would provide expected cash flows of Rs. 6.4 million per yearfor 20 years. Plan B requires a Rs.12 million expenditure to build a somewhat less efficient, more laborintensiveplant with expected cash flows of Rs. 2.72 million per year for 20 years. The company's WACC is10%. You are required to solve the following questions:a. Calculate each project's NPV and IRR. [6]b. Graph the NPV profiles for plan A and Plan B and approximate the crossover rate. [3]c. Calculate the crossover rate where the two projects' NPVs are equal. [3]d. Why is NPV better than IRR for making capital budgeting decisions that add to shareholder value?Explain.
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
