You are interested in arranging financing to purchase a new car from Bloomington Cars, Inc. The car that you want has a sticker price of $42,000, an instant rebate of $3,500, a fair market value of $39,000, and a great sound system. The salesperson, while smoothing over his comb-over, taps his pinky ring on the hood of the car and tells you, “You picked the best car we have. I can also kick in a free Bloomington Cars coffee mug.” Since you love the car, you hop up and down and say, “Sold! I’ll take it.” You sign a loan contract for 60 monthly payments based on a rate of 7.3% per year and drive home with your new car and coffee mug, listening to that great sound system. (Your market rate of return for the risks you pose for a car loan is 5.5%.)

In a bid to gain greater acceptance in Asian markets, Wide Bay Cookies Ltd is evaluating an opportunity to produce and distribute its products from a new manufacturing plant in Vietnam. Wide Bay will invest AUD $3,000,000 to set up the factory and provide working capital for operations. AUD $2,000,000 of this initial outlay will be recovered when the project is terminated in four years’ time. Wide Bay expect to receive 13,000,000,000 Vietnamese Dong (VND) after tax for each of the four years of operation. The current spot rate is AUD VND 15 746.72.

The risk free rate in Australia is 1% while it is 4.45% in Vietnam. You should assume that interest rate parity exists. Wide Bay Cookies works on the assumptions that the one year forward rate predicts the spot rate in one years’ time and that the change in the exchange rate in the first year will be repeated for each year of the project. Wide Bay’s annual required return for the project is 12%.

Rice Paper Ltd is an Australian company that imports Vietnamese products. Rice Paper’s contracts are written in Vietnamese Dong and they agree to take 13,000,000,000 each year from Wide Bay Cookies at the rate of AUD VND 14 000.
