Assume that Baps Corporation is considering the establishment of a subsidiary in Norway. The initial investment required by the parent is $5,000,000. If the project is undertaken, Baps would terminate the project after four years. Baps' cost of capital is 13%, and the project is of the same risk as Baps' existing projects. All cash flows generated from the project will be remitted to the parent at the end of each year. Listed below are the estimated cash flows the Norwegian subsidiary will generate over the project's lifetime in Norwegian kroner (NOK):
Year 1= NOK10,000,000
Year 2 = NOK15,000,000
Year 3 =NOK17,000,000
Year 4 = NOK20,000,000
The current exchange rate of the Norwegian kroner is $.135. Baps' exchange rate forecast for the Norwegian kroner over the project's lifetime is listed below:
Year 1 = $.13
Year 2=$.14
Year 3 =$.12
Year 4 $.15
Baps is also uncertain regarding the cost of capital. What is the net present value of this project if a 16% cost of capital is used instead of 13?
