Solitaire Machinery is a Swiss multinational manufacturing company. Financial planners are considering undertaking a 1 year project in US. Project expected dollar-denominated cash-flows consist of an initial investment of $1,000 and a cash inflow the following year of $1,200.
Estimates that its risk-adjusted cost of capital is 12%
1 U.S. dollar will buy .90 Swiss franc
1 year risk-free securities in US are yielding 5%
similar securities in Switzerland are yielding 3.25%
