Perth International Co., an Australian multinational company, forecasts 66 million Australian dollars (A$) earnings next year...

  1. Perth International Co., an Australian multinational company, forecasts 66 million Australian dollars (A$) earnings next year (i.e., year-one). It expects 52 million Chinese yuan (CNY), 49 million Indian rupees (INR) and 35 million Malaysian ringgit (MYR) proceeds of its three subsidiaries in year-one. It also forecasts the year-one exchange rates A$0.3274/CNY, A$0.0441/INR and A$0.6657/MYR.

            Calculate the total Australian dollar (A$) cash flow for year-one.

            The answer for this question is $108485200

  1. Perth International anticipates a 5.55 per cent increase in the year-one income of its subsidiaries in year-two. It has information that the current 5.63 per cent, 8.27 per cent, 13.90 per cent and 11.71 per cent nominal interest rate in Australia, China, India and Malaysia, respectively, will remain the same in the next three years. Due to foreign currency higher nominal interest rate, subsidiaries will invest 20 per cent, 55 per cent and 36 per cent of their year-two earnings in China, India and Malaysia, respectively, for next year. Subsidiaries will remit their remaining incomes (i.e., after investment) to the Australian parent. Perth International believes in the International Fisher Effects with considering a 2.69 per cent real interest in Australia, China, India and Malaysia to calculate the expected foreign currency value against the Australian dollar for year-two based on the year-one exchange rates A$/CNY, A$/INR, and A$/MYR.

What is the total Australian dollar (A$) cash flow for year-two? (Enter the whole number with no sign or symbol)

  1. In year-three, Perth International has a plan to expand the business in China, India and Malaysia. Consequently, it forecasts an 9.97 per cent increase in year-one earnings of its subsidiaries in year-three. Perth International anticipates 3.64 per cent, 7.70 per cent, 11.47 per cent and 9.44 per cent inflation in Australia, China, Indian and Malaysia, respectively, in year-three. It considers the Purchasing power parity to calculate the value of CNY, INR and MYR against the Australian dollar in year-three using the year-two exchange rates A$/CNY, A$/INR, and A$/MYR.

What is the total Australian dollar (A$) cash flow for year-three? (enter the whole number with no sign or symbol)

You have been asked to calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) for a project whose development will be accomplished during a single calendar year with the go-live date of Jan 1st   The project, to develop a new Web-based ordering and fulfillment system, has already been conceptualized, and the team has provided estimates and a partial resource plan. Labor Operating expenses in years 2 through 5 are projected to be $57,000 annually. Miscellaneous expenses in years 2 through 5 are projected to be $6,500 annually. The benefit is projected to be $225,000 the first year of operation, increasing 11% each year. Hardware cost that would be installed for development is $100,000. You’ll need to complete the resource plan, the 5 year planning sheet, and calculate a 5 year ROI. Please finish filling out these tables and answer the associated questions.
