A U.S.-based firm is considering a five- year project in
Colombia. The following information is available about the project:
Initial investment. The initial investment of USD 750,000 is used
to purchase capital equipment. This equipment will be depreciated
straight line to zero. At the end of five years, the remaining
equipment will be sold for Colombian Peso (COP) 12,000,000. Working
capital. The investment in working capital is COP 180,000,000.
There are no changes in working capital until the end of the
project when the full amount is recovered. Units, price, and costs.
The firm will produce 1750 units of a product annually. The selling
price is expected to be COP 599000 in the first year. This price is
expected to increase at a rate of 3 percent annually. The direct
expense per unit is expected to be COP 240000 in the first year.
This is expected to increase at a rate of 7 percent annually.
Indirect expenses are expected to be COP 75,000,000 annually. Taxes
and miscellaneous. Colombian taxes on income and capital gains are
33 percent. There are no additional withholding taxes. All cash
flows are repatriated when generated, and there are no additional
U.S. taxes. The parity conditions are assumed to hold between
Colombia and the United States. The
FINC 6367 – International finance Excel Homework Page 2
relevant inflation indexes indicate a rate of 2.5 percent for the
United States and 6 percent for Colombia. Spot USDCOP equals 2900.
Brady’s USD denominated WACC is 12.5 percent.
a. Calculate COP cash flows.
b. What is the appropriate COP discount rate? Calculate the project NPV.
c. Use parity conditions to generate future spot rates. Calculate the project NPV in USD.
d. Calculate break- even units.
e. Now assume that the COP rate of annual depreciation doesn’t follow parity conditions. What is the break- even rate of depreciation in COP? Assuming the USD inflation is unchanged, what is the COP inflation rate consistent with this break- even depreciation?

You have been hired as a consultant for Brilliant Paint Company, Inc. (BPC), manufacturers of fine industrial paint. The market for industrial paint is growing rapidly. The company bought some land three years ago for $1.35 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic paint waste dump site but has recently hired another company to handle all toxic materials. Based on a recent appraisal, the company believes it could sell the land for $1.45 million on an after-tax basis, however, if it waits for 6 years, the land could be sold for $1.55 million after taxes. The company also hired a marketing firm to analyze the paint market, at a cost of $120,000. An excerpt of the marketing report is as follows: The paint industry will have a rapid expansion in the next five years. With the brand name recognition that BPC brings to bear, we feel that the company will be able to sell 3,000 units in the first year of operation and will increase by 25% in the second. The unite growth will decrease to 20% in the third year and will continue to decrease linearly to 5% every year until the end of the project. Capitalizing on the name recognition of BPC, we feel that a premium price of $600 can be charged in the first year but due to competition the company needs to keep the price for at least three years. However, the company could increase the price to $625 in year three and maintain it until the end of project life. BPC believes that fixed costs for the project will be $500,000 per year, and variable costs are 20 percent of sales. The equipment necessary for production will cost $3 million and will be depreciated according to a six-year MACRS schedule. At the end of the project, the equipment can be scrapped for $375,000. Net working capital of $150,000 will be required immediately but needs to increase it by %5 per year as the sales increases. BPC has a 35 percent tax rate, and the required return on the project is 13 percent. What is the NPV of the project?
