Analysis of the Example
To analyze the project the following assignments and questions must be completed and answered by students:
Construct a pro-forma statement of cash flows through 2029 for the most likely scenario and determine the NPV from both the project and parent perspective for each of the three future exchange rate estimates using the most likely values for each of the variables provided in the exercise. Would you accept the project? Why?
Apply the proper distributions to your random variables and conduct a Monte Carlo simulation. Forecast the NPV from both the parent and project perspective for each of the three future exchange rate estimates. Would you change your decision to accept/reject the project? Why? What are the most important factors influencing your decision?
