INTERNATIONAL FINANCE FN380 Contents Introduction 1 Demand forecast 2 Cost of capital 2 Interest Rate 3 Tax 4 Exchange Rate, 4 Parent Valuation: 5 Introduction The project proposal will be critical analysed before it will established in South Korea. In the first assignment will looked in depth in political, country risk, FDI theories and motive for the project. In the second assignment, the cost of capital for the project was calculated, stating the risk for both the parent and subsidiaries. This project evaluates the discounted Net Present Value which shows the estimated cash flow. The cash flow forecast is for 10 year which incorporates International complexities as well as the cost of capital. This project has decided that the initial investment will be partly financed by parent and subsidiary, at debt of 35 % from parent (uk) and 35% from host country (south Korea) to complete the initial investment. Demand forecast The first step in analysing the cash flow is the demand forecast to telecommunication service in South Korea, this estimation is correlated to with the competition, historical demand, income and population, Jeff Madura, Roland Fox (2007). These was analysis because it is an indicated of the profit possibilities for the investment project. The demand for telecommunication services in South Korea is high this refers to low uncertainty, the proposed project is large enough to support the management time on the project analysis (
EEC calculated the amount of time involved the anticipation of its cost ($3 million). The timeline in recovering their cost of investment ($2 million) initially for the foundation of this investment any profit made in the future of this investment will be justified as a profit for the company. If EEC can anticipate a fast return on its investment it is a profitable wise decision in making the investment financial, it is considered to be an easier way of formulating investments financially. On the basis of one year all cash flows is added together equal to the sum of $2 million originally invested, then it is divided by the annual cash flow of $500,000. The calculation of the payback period would equal four years. After this time frame any financial proceeds will be considered profitable for the company. I conclude that the timeframe is adequate in comparison of the investment in this worthwhile investment financial venture for the company.
NPV is known as the best technique in the capital budgeting decisions. There were flows in payback as well as discounted pay back periods because it don’t consider the cash flow after the payback and discounted pay back period. To remove this flows net present value (NPV) method, which relies on discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques is used to find the value of the project by considering the cash flow of the project till its life. To implement this approach, we proceed as
Star Appliance is looking to expand their product line and is considering three different projects: dishwashers, garbage disposals, and trash compactors. We want to determine which project would be worth doing by determining if they will add value to Star. Thus, the project(s) that will add the most value to Star Appliance will be worth pursuing. The current hurdle rate of 10% should be re-evaluated by finding the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Then by forecasting the cash flows of each project and discounting them by the WACC to find the net present value, or by solving for the internal rate of return, we should be able to see which projects Star should undertake.
A. The company needs to focus on the free cash flows instead of the accounting profits since these are the funds flow the company will receive and will be able to reinvest. By examining the cash flows they will be adapt to predict the profits and/or expenses timetable. The company’s interests in these cash flows are on an after-tax basis since they are part of the shareholders dividends. Additionally, the additional cash flows are of important, because, after analyzing the project while viewing the company as a whole, the additional cash flows are seen as minimal benefits and will show the elevated value to the company if the decision is made to implement the project.
Cash flows were projected based on the Financial Plan covering a three year period. Cash flows to determine a terminal value were extrapolated using a constant growth rate of 2.5 per cent per annum, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the
New business project can require time in bring on the establishment. However, the finance manager should analyze and research their project so to know the cost and cash flows that would be necessary to accept this project. Also, there should be formulated plans to repay or finance the project. Managers must be aware of the pros and cons of the new project. On the other hand, there should be time spent on the development of the project and investment should be in place for the establishment of the project. On the other hand, if the company is unable to meet the requirement of the project, then the project could possibly be
It is important to understand that any business needs from an income statement and a cash flow statement to succeed and there are many reasons behind it. According to Southern New Hampshire University (2015), “Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business…it can reveal important clues about a company’s financial health that are not as readily apparent on the balance sheet or income statement. (p. 1)
The free cash flow used in this model is the free cash flow from the future period in which the company is expected to hit its long-term growth rate. The present value of the future periods’ cash flows before the company is expected to hit its long-term growth rate is then added. The result of this equation is the company’s estimated horizon value. A drawback of this method is that a company’s growth rate may vary from year to year and this model may not be able to account for this fluctuation. We chose not to use other horizon value analyses
2. Magnetronics had $7,380 invested in accounts receivables at year-end 1999. Its average sales per day were $133,614 during 1999 and its average collection period was 55.23 days. This represented an improvement from the average collection period of 58.68 days in 1995.

Several decision makers have criticized the cash flow estimations as they simply do not agree with the decisions they have arrived at from the use of the models. Since there are uncertainties involved in terms of estimates of cash flows some managers become reluctant to use this method as a part of their decision making process as the calculations are far in the future. Therefore, they will take into consideration the near term cash flows. Other managers may have predetermined notions about which project to adopt and may therefore play with the numbers to achieve a desired result (Brealey, 1984). This can be a problem as the results they receive are not from faulty models but from the manager’s inappropriate inputs into the models. Another area of concern is the selection or choice of discount rate (Cooper et.al, 2001). For example if they use an inappropriately high discount rate then this could yield high hurdle rates or conversely if the rate is too low it yields lower rates. What Cooper recommends is the use of a discount rate that reflects the firms true cost of capital which is sound theory of finance advice. Thus, the best to worst case scenarios should be employed to analyze the best possible decision. When the discounted rate includes
This chapter focuses on three aspects of foreign investment analysis that are infrequently considered in evaluating domestic projects: the difference between project and parent cash flows; incorporating political risks such as expropriation and currency controls; and factoring in inflation and exchange rate changes in cash flow estimates. It also evaluates the various methods used to incorporate in the investment analysis the additional risks encountered overseas. These points are brought out in the process of working through the International Diesel Corporation Case. The ability to perform a capital budgeting analysis is one of the most valuable skills we can provide our
