The South Korean multinational manufacturing firm, Nam Sung Industries, is debating whether to invest in a 2-year project in the United States. The project's expected dollar cash flows consist of an initial investment of $1 million with cash inflows of $700,000 in Year 1 and
$600,000 in Year 2. The risk-adjusted cost of capital for this project is 12%. The current exchange rate is 1,055 won per U.S. dollar. Risk-free interest rates in the United States and S. Korea are:

A project in Japan will generate 130M Yen per year forever. Sunrise Corp. is a US firm that is considering investing in that project in Japan. The current risk-free rate in US is 7% and the risk-free rate in Japan is 5%. The approproate cost of capital for a US-based project of similar risk is 15.8%. What is the cost of capital if you are using the foreign currency approach? 17.8% 8.8% 20.8%
A U.S. firm is considering purchasing a subsidiary in the UK. The subsidiary will cost 6M British pounds and will generate cash inflows of 1.2M pounds per year forever. The current exchange rate is 0.8 pounds/$. The average inflation rate is expected to be 2% in the US. The current risk-free rate of interest is 4% in the US and 9% in the UK. Assume the cost of capital for this project is 10% on dollar investments. What is the approximate discount rate you would use to discount the cash flows if you were to evaluate this project using the foreign currency approach?
