Yоu wоrk fоr аn Isrаeli compаny that is considering an investment in China’s Sichuan province. The investment yields expected after-tax Chinese new yuan cash flows (in millions) as follows: Expected inflation is 6% in shekels and 3% in yuan. Discount rates for this risk-class are iILS = 15% in Israeli shekels and iCNY = 11.7% in yuan. The spot exchange rate is S0 ILS∕CNY = ILS 0.5 ∕ CNY. Assume the international parity conditions hold. 1. Compute the expected future exchange rate for Year 1, 2, and 3. (3 points) Expected S1ILS/CNY = [a1] Expected S2 ILS/CNY = [a2] Expected S3 ILS/CNY = [a3] 2. Calculate NPV from the parent’s perspective by converting yuan into shekels at expected future spot rates and then discounting at the appropriate rate in shekels.
