Question - The following information is used for the next TWO questions.
You work for a firm whose home currency is the Indian rupee (INR) and that is considering a foreign investment. The investment yields expected after-tax Japanese yen (JPY) cash flows (in millions) as follows:

Expected inflation is 5.0% in the Indian rupee and 2.0% in the Japanese yen. Assume that the international parity conditions hold.
Required returns for projects in this risk class are: iINR = 16.0% in Indian rupee, and iJPY = 12.686% in Japanese yen.
The spot exchange rate is S0INR/JPY = INR 0.6676/JPY.
Question 1 - What is the NPV of the investment from the parent's perspective? That is, calculate NPV0INR|iINR by first converting the Japanese yen future cash flows into Indian rupee equivalents at expected future spot rates (based on relative PPP) and then discount these cash flows at the appropriate risk-adjusted rate in the Indian rupee.
Question 2 - What is the NPV of the investment from the project's perspective? That is, calculate NPV0INR|iJPY by discounting the Japanese yen cash flows at the appropriate risk-adjusted Japanese yen discount rate and then convert this value into Indian rupee at the today's current spot rate.
Why is the NPV of the first and second question INR 134.16 million? What is the working out for this question?
