When a manufacturing company decides to build a plant in a foreign country, the company is often able to get regions of the country to compete for the jobs that will be brought to the area. The governments and municipalities of these regions will often offer subsidies in the form of below-market rate financing. Consider this hypothetical example. You are evaluating a project based in Zimbabwe. Currently Zimbabwe does NOT have their own currency and the USD is used for all payments. The project will generate $15M after-tax cashflows per year for 10 years (Y1-Y10). Your cost of capital (WACC) is 10%, the cost of debt is 5%, and the tax rate is 20%. The project requires an initial investment of $50M in Year 0. You are planning to fund the project with $20m equity and 30M debt (the debt must be repaid in 10 equal installments). The Zimbabwean government is offering to lend you $30M at 3% (the loan must be repaid in 10 equal installments). Compute the NPV of the project. (hint: carefully consider the tax shield implications). Please include a table with all relevant cashflows and describe your calculations in detail.

| Total present value of all future cash flows |
| add all present values from year 1 to 10 = 89.392595mn |
| Out flow = 50mn |
| NPV = 89.39 - 50 = 39.39mn (approx) |

A seaside community, with a population of 250,000 people,
decides to build a seawater desalination plant to supply all of
their water needs (approximately 70 liters of water per day per
person). The proposed design models seawater entering the
desalination plant as a 3.5% salt solution by mass, with a density
of 1.029 kg per liter and an average temperature of 15°C. A
concentrated brine (18.5% salt solution by mass) is discharged to
the ocean as waste and the treated...

Assume a two country (home and foreign) and a two good
(agricultural good and manufacturing good) model. Suppose that

the existence of sweatshops in the foreign country that has a
comparative advantage in the agricultural good.
