Consider the following international investment opportunity:
year 0 -50000 euro Year 1 15000 euro year 2 15000 year 3 15000
The current exchange rate is $1.60 = €1.00. The inflation rate in the U.S. is 3 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 dollar cash flows to compute the dollar-denominated NPV of this project.
Exchange Rate in Year 1 = Euro1 * (1 + EZ Rate) = $1.60 * (1 + US Rate)
Exchange Rate in Year 1 = 1 * (1 + 0.02) = $1.60 * (1 + 0.03)
Exchange Rate in Year 1 = 1 Euro = 1.6157
Exchange Rate in Year 2 = Euro1 * (1 + EZ Rate) = $1.60 * (1 + US Rate)
Exchange Rate in Year 2 = 1 * (1 + 0.02) = $1.6157 * (1 + 0.03)
Exchange Rate in Year 2 = 1 Euro = 1.6315
Exchange Rate in Year 3 = Euro1 * (1 + EZ Rate) = $1.60 * (1 + US Rate)
Exchange Rate in Year 3 = 1 * (1 + 0.02) = $1.6315 * (1 + 0.03)
Exchange Rate in Year 3 = 1 Euro = 1.6475
