1. Your company is considering building a plant which produces coin-operated cappuccino machines in Japan. The project costs ¥ 1,000,000 (year 0) and is expected to generate a cash flow of ¥ 500,000, ¥ 600,000, and ¥ 400,000 in the next three following years (years 1, 2, and 3; no cash flow is generated after year 3). Your company's required dollar rate of return on projects of similar risk is 10%. Inflation in the US and Japan is expected to be 3% and 2%, and the current spot rate is ¥ 125/$.
Assume that the international parity relations hold. Calculate the NPV of the project in dollars.

(d) What is the volatility of the dollar value of the British asset [i.e. Var(P)]?
(e) Var(e) represents the residual part of the dollar value variability that is independent of exchange rate movements. What is the Var(e)?

Explain why the npv of a relatively long-term project
: Explain why the NPV of a relatively long-term project, defined as one for which a high percentage of its cash flows are expected in the distant future, is more sensitive to changes in the cost of capital than is the NPV of a short-term project.
