Background
¾ Midwestern manufacturer of small kitchen electrical appliances
¾ Exports microwave ovens to Spain
¾ Has a sales affiliate in Madrid
¾ Because of different electrical requirements in Western Europe, the ovens
manufactured for the Spanish market could not be used elsewhere in Europe
¾ Thus, historically concentrated on the Spanish market—till the creation of EU which
promoted commonality in electrical equipment
¾ Now the whole EU countries can be targeted. Centralia is thinking about constructing
a local manufacturing facility (a plant) in Spain
¾ This mode of cross-border capital budgeting is called foreign direct investment
(FDI)
Revenues
Local Global

Operating Information
¾ Current sales from export
Current sales are 9600 units a year, having been increasing at 5% annually
Currently receives $180 per unit exported
Contribution margin is $35 per unit
¾ New plant
Initial sales forecast of 28,000 units, increasing at 7% per year
All sales invoiced in euros
When the plant begins operation, units will be priced at €200 per unit
Estimated production cost of €160 per unit
¾ Both sales price and production costs are expected to keep pace with inflation

(b) = (b) from the previous year – (c) annual principal payment
(c) Equal payment (amortization) over 8 years (total €3,500,000)
(d) = (b) from the previous year × preferred rate of 6% (lower than the market rate 8%)
(e) = [(c) annual principal repayment + (d) interest] × (a)
(f) = (e) / 1.08t (discounted at the market rate of 8%)

This is because, in general, the PV of the future principal and interest payments of a loan discounted at its
interest rate is equal to its principal (even if there are unequal installments).

Booth (1982) shows that tax shields calculated using the concessionary loan rates are also theoretically
correct. Booth, Lawrence D., “Capital Budgeting Frameworks for the Multinational Corporation,” Journal

Summary
¾ Operating CFs and depreciation tax shields drive the value of this project
¾ Concessionary loan is the key: without it, APV is very close to zero, and caution is
needed.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
1. Terminal Value and Growth Rate
Above, we used a very conservative terminal value of zero (in year 8) in Step (i).
Alternatively, we could assume some positive number based on the Gordon growth
formula (growth rate = g, discount rate = r):
C
PV =
r−g
t=0 1 2 3
= ⎜ ⎟
1.07 ⎝ 1.11 ⎠
Easy to confirm that (substitute t = 8 above)
PV(Profit(8)) = 771,104.14
From there, the PV of profit annually changes by a factor in the bracket.
So, in the Gordon formula, set
g = 1.07×1.03 – 1 = 0.1021,
r = 0.11.
Thus, the total PV of profits beyond year 8 is
Sum PV(Profits) = 771,104.14/(0.11 – 0.1021) = 97,608,119.

Next, the formula for the opportunity cost in lost sales from the existing sales
affiliate in column (e) is
(e) Lost profit = (Lost quantity) × (Contribution margin $35) × (US inflation 1.03)t
= -(9600 × 1.05t) × 35 × 1.03t
So, PV of the after-tax lost profit is
PV(Lost profit(t)) = (e) × (1 – 0.35) / 1.11t
⎛ 1.05 ⋅ 1.03 ⎞
t
= − 9600 ⋅ 35 ⋅ 0.65⎜ ⎟
⎝ 1.11 ⎠
Easy to confirm that (again set t = 8 above)
PV(Lost profit(8)) = -177,370.34
In the Gordon formula, set
g = 1.05×1.03 – 1 = 0.0815
r = 0.11
Thus, the total PV of lost profits beyond year 8 is
Sum PV(Lost profits) = -177,370.34/(0.11 – 0.0815) = -6,223,521.
The after-tax PV in column (g) beyond year 8 will be the sum of these two numbers:
Increase in APV = 97,608,119 – 6,223,521 = 91,384,598.
This is a gigantic number. It is primarily driven by the bullish sales growth rate of
7%.
Instead, assume conservatively that the sales growth rate is 0% beyond year 8 and
repeat the analysis.
Sum PV(profits) = 771,104.14/(0.11 – 0.03) = 9,638,802.
There is no change in the sum of the PV of lost profits. Thus, the increase in APV
under zero growth (beyond year 8) is only
Increase in APV = 9,638,802 – 6,223,521 = 3,415,281.

2. Spot rate
Download the Excel sheet on the course web site. Confirm that if the spot rate is, instead
of $1.20/€,
$1.30/€ Î APV = $881,637
$1.10/€ Î APV = $506,467
Change in APV per a 1¢ spot-rate fluctuation is
(881,637 – 506,467)/(1.30 – 1.10)/100 = $18,758.50.
This is the sensitivity of the project APV with respect to the spot rate, i.e., this is the
project delta.
3. Other numbers
Try changing other key numbers (those under management’s discretion or uncertain
variables) and see how the project APV is affected. For example,
expected domestic and foreign inflation rates
price and cost of oven,
$ cost of capital,
$ borrowing rate,
optimal debt ratio,
cost of plant, etc.
Have fun!

Next, compute the NPV when the funds are blocked: the total cash flow occurs at the end
of year 3.

Suggested Solutions
16.3 a. The required return on Oilily’s equity within the French market is rF+β(E[rM]-rF) = 5% +
(1.4)(11%-5%) = 13.4%. Oilily’s weighted average cost of capital is iWACC = (B/VL)iB(1-
TC)+(S/VL)iS = (0.4)(7%)(1-0.33)+(0.6)(13.4%) = 9.916%.
b. Required return on Oilily’s stock is r = 5%+(1.2)(12%-5%) = 13.4% for an international
investor. Using international sources, Oilily’s cost of capital is iWACC = (B/VL)iB(1-TC) +
(S/VL)iS = (½)(6%)(1-0.33) + (½)(13.4%) = 8.710%.
c. Assume that the operating cash flow is before interest expense and in euros (rather than
Belgian francs). In France, Oilily’s value is V0 = CF1/(i-g) = (€10million)/(0.09916-0.04) =
€169,033,130. If the global market, Oilily’s value is V0 = CF1/(i-g) = €10,000,000/(0.08710-
0.04) = €212,314,225. Oilily can increase its value by over 25% by financing in international
markets because of this market’s higher tolerance for debt and lower required returns.
16.4 a. Grand Pet’s debt ratio is (B/VL) = 33/(33+100) = 0.25. The required return on Grand Pet’s
equity is r = rF + β(E[rM]-rF) = 5%+(1.2)(15%-5%) = 17%. Grand Pet’s weighted average cost
of capital is: iWACC = (B/VL)iB(1-TC)+(S/VL)iS = (0.25)(6%)(1-0.33) + (0.75)(17%) = 13.755%.
b. The debt ratio is now (B/VL) = 50/(50+100) = 0.33. The required return on Grand Pet’s equity
in international markets is r = rF+β(E[rW]-rF) = 5%+(0.8)(10%-5%) = 9%. Using international
sources of capital, Grand Pet’s cost of capital is: iWACC = (B/VL)iB(1-TC)+(S/VL)iS =
(0.33)(5%)(1-0.33) + (0.67)(9%) = 7.1355%.
c. Let’s assume that the £1 billion operating cash flow is before interest expense, so that the
weighted average cost of capital is the appropriate discount rate on these cash flows to debt and
equity. In the U.K. market, Grand Pet’s value is
V0 = CF1 / (i-g) = £1,000,000,000/(0.13755-0.03) = £9,298,000,000.
If Grand Pet can raise funds in the global market, Grand Pet’s value is
V0 = CF1 / (i-g) = £1,000,000,000/(0.07117-0.03) = £24,291,000,000.
Grand Pet can increase its value by over 150% by raising funds internationally.

16.5 Let’s assume that the cash flows are in euros (rather than Belgian francs).
a. All-equity value is APV = VU-CF0 = (CF1 )/(1+iU)-Initial investment
= (BFr112 million/1.10)-BFr100 million = BFr1,818,182.
b. Borrowing €50 million at 6% results in an interest payment of iBB = €3 million. The present
value of the interest tax shield is (TCiBB)/(1+iB) = (€3M×0.33/1.06) ≈ €933,962. The APV of
the investment is then €1,818,182 + €933,962 = €2,752,144.
c. All-equity value is APV = VU-CF0 = €12 million/0.10-€100 million = €20,000,000. The value
of the perpetual interest tax shield is €3M×0.33/0.06 = €16,500,000 (or TCiBB/iB=TCB =
(0.33)(€50 million)). The levered firm is worth the sum, €36,500,000.
