Tami Tyler opened Tami’s Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler’s personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan.

You work for a California textbook company. Henry is auctioning off the rights to his online textbooks sales in Switzerland, which are expected to bring in the following EUR cash flows over the next three years:

                                       Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

EUR Cash Flows 1,000 1,100 1,200

To prepare your bid, you need to calculate the net present value (NPV) of these cash flows in USD terms. You believe that relative PPP is a reasonable tool to use.

The spot exchange rate is 1.20 USD per EUR. Expected US inflation is 2%, and expected inflation in Switzerland is 1%. Your USD discount rate is 9%.

The NPV of these cash flows in USD is: ????

You have a Brazilian partner, who ask for your estimates of the net present value of the EUR cash flows in Brazilian real (BRL) terms.

He asks you to convert the cash flows into BRL (using relative PPP), and to use a BRL discount rate of 25%.

The spot exchange rate is 4 BRL per USD. Expected BRL inflation is 12%. All other information is the same as above.

The NPV of these cash flows in BRL terms is: ????

The following is a quote from The Economist (Dec. 3, 2016):

“The dollar has been gradually gaining strength for years. But the prompt for this latest surge is the prospect of a shift in the economic-policy mix in America. The weight of investors’ money has bet that Mr. Trump will cut taxes and spend more public funds on fixing America’s crumbling infrastructure. A big fiscal boost would lead the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at a faster rate to check inflation. America’s ten-year bond yield has risen to 2.3%, from almost 1.7% on election night. Higher yields are a magnet for capital flows.”

There has also been Fed attempts to raise interest rates recently.

EXPLAIN IN A PARAGRAPH: Will higher US interest rates strengthen the USD? Agree or disagree. Explain fully. Also, will the resulting change in the USD (from your analysis) be consistent with President Trump’s overall economic perspective on trade and US manufacturing.

Please address these questions from a Jan. 1, 2017 perspective for that time period.
