Consider the following international investment opportunity. It involves a gold mine that can be opened at a cost, then produces a positive cash flow, but then requires environmental clean-up. Year 0: -64,000 Euros Year 1: 160,000 Euros Year 2: -100,000 Euros The current exchange rate is $1.60 = 1 Euro. The inflation rate in the U.S. is 6 percent and in the euro zone 2 percent. The appropriate cost of capital to a U.S. -based firm for a domestic project of this risk is 8 percent. Find the dollar cash flows to compute the dollar - denominated NPV of this project. And also find the euro - zone cost of capital.

Etemadi Amalgamated, a U.S. manufacturing firm, is considering a new project in Portugal. You are in Etemadi's corporate finance department and are responsible for deciding whether to undertake the project. The expected free cash flows, in euros, are shown here: Year 1 2 3 Free Cash Flow (E million) 0 -15 1 8.9 9.5 11.7 You know that the spot exchange rate is $0.87/€. In addition, the risk-free interest rate on dollars is 3.9% and the risk-free interest rate on euros is 56%. Assume that these markets are internationally integrated and the uncertainty in the free cash flows is not correlated with uncertainty in the exchange rate. You determine that the dollar WACC for these cash flows is 8.4%. What is the dollar present value of the project? Should Etemadi Amalgamated undertake the project? (Enter all outflows of cash as negative numbers.)
Golden Ltd is an exporting company and it will have receivables in Malaysian ringgit in coming years. It expects the Malaysian ringgit to depreciate against the US dollar over time. It wants to get rid of its transaction exposure by denominating the exports in US dollars but that it is still subject to operating exposure. The long-term hedging techniques are constrained and it does not know how much Malaysian ringgit it will receive in the future, so it is difficult even if a long-term hedging method was available. How can Golden Ltd lessen its exposure in the case?

Last year, the Government of Ghana announced a new government policy dubbed Gold for Oil (G4O). The policy, as explained by the government, is to allow the government to pay for imported oil products with gold, in a direct barter with gold purchased by the Central Bank. The move, announced by the Vice President in the midst of the depreciation of the cedi against the US dollar and the rising cost of fuel prices, was explained as an intervention to help stabilise prices of fuel products, as well as reduce pressure on Ghana’s foreign exchange, as the direct gold barter would be the mode of paying for imported oil instead of depleting the foreign exchange reserve. The Gold for Oil programme has since been implemented. As Energy Expert Group with good understating of derivatives in the oil and gas market, discuss the Policy in the context of Derivatives. What is/are the derivative(s) being used?

Suppose that Salem Co, a U.S.-based MNC that both purchases supplies from Canada and sells exports in Canada, is seeking to measure the economic exposure of its cash flows. Salem wishes to analyze how its cash flows might change under different exchange rates for the Canadian dollar (the only foreign currency in which it deals).

Suppose that Kittle Co. is a U.S. based MNC that is considering setting up a subsidiary in Singapore. Kittle would like this subsidiary to produce and sell guitars locally in Singapore, and needs assistance with capital budgeting. The duration of this project is four years, with a salvage value of $12,000,000. This salvage value would be paid by the government in Singapore to Kittle in exchange for ownership of the subsidiary. The expected exchange rate of the Singapore dollar of $0.50 over the life of the project. Kittle managers are worried about the uncertainty of the value of the Singapore dollar. While they expect that the exchange rate will be $0.50, they recognize that this value may fluctuate. Thus, they decide to S$3,000,000 in cash flows per year, while any additional cash flows beyond this threshold would not be hedged. The forward rate that Kittle will use to hedge the S$3,000,000 is $0.48. The following table shows a key subsection of Kittle's capital budgeting analysis…
