The parent firm's cost of capital in pounds is 7.5%. Long-run inflation is forecasted to be 3.5% per annum in the U.K. and 7.5% in South KoreaThe current spot foreign exchange rate is KRW/GBP = 3.75.

What is the NPV in GBP if the actual pattern of KRW/GBP exchange rates are: S(0) = 3.75 S(1) = 5.7 S(2) = 6.7 S(3) = 7.2S(4) = 7.7; S(5) = 8.2 S(6) = 9.2 S(5) = 10.2 B) Suppose that the current spot exchange rate is 1.50/ and the one-year forward exchange rate is 1.60/.
