If the U.S. dollar appreciates relative to the MXN (Mexican peso) over time, the dollar cost to a U.S. firm that buys products produced in Mexico and pays in MXN will _____ _____________ over time. (Answer either be rising or be falling)
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.

The current exchange rate is $1.60 = €1.00. 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 euro-zone cost of capital.
Write it down in percent with two decimals places.

- If the U.S. economy experiences growth in the future, the property will be worth $50,000,000 and the exchange course of 1 dollar will be 0.83 euro. If the U.S. economy slows down, the property will be worth $40,000,000, but the U.S. dollar will be stronger and worth 0.89 euro. The probability of the U.S. economy to experience growth is 40% while a slow-down will happen with a 60% probability. Estimate your exposure b to the exchange risk. Compute the variance of the dollar value of your property that is attributable to the exchange rate uncertainty.
