The South Korean multinational manufacturing firm, Nam Sung Industries, is debating whether to invest in a 2-year project in the United States. The project's expected dollar cash flows consist of an initial investment of $1 million with cash inflows of $700,000 in Year 1 and
$600,000 in Year 2. The risk-adjusted cost of capital for this project is 12%. The current exchange rate is 1,055 won per U.S. dollar. Risk-free interest rates in the United States and S. Korea are:

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%
A U.S. firm is considering purchasing a subsidiary in the UK. The subsidiary will cost 6M British pounds and will generate cash inflows of 1.2M pounds per year forever. The current exchange rate is 0.8 pounds/$. The average inflation rate is expected to be 2% in the US. The current risk-free rate of interest is 4% in the US and 9% in the UK. Assume the cost of capital for this project is 10% on dollar investments.

- Copper International is a U.S. based company that would like to invest in a project in Europe. The initial cost of the project is €12 million. It is expected to generate a cash flow of €5.4 million each year in the next three years. The current spot exchange rate is €0.8/$. The current risk-free rates in the United States and Europe are 3 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The cost of capital for Copper on U.S. dollar investments is estimated to be 9 percent. (a) Calculate the projected exchange rate each year over the life of the project. Do you expect the U.S. dollar to appreciate or depreciate relative to the Euro during this period? (b) Calculate the NPV of the project using the home currency approach. (c) Assume that the international Fisher effect holds. Calculate the NPV of the project using the foreign currency approach. (d) You notice that the spot exchange rate for the Swiss franc is SF per $1 = 1.7, and the cross-rate is € per SF = 0.40.
