You are evaluating a proposed expansion of an existing subsidiary located in Switzerland. The cost of the expansion would be SF21 million. The cash flows from the project would be SF5.5 million per year for the next five years. The dollar required return is 12 percent per year, and the current exchange rate is SF1.07. The going rate on Eurodollars is 6 percent per year. It is 3 percent per year on Swiss francs. a. Convert the projected franc flows into dollar flows and calculate the NPV.
