Question

Finance

Castro Co. is considering the acquisition of a unit from the French government. Its initial outlay would be $3,900,000. It will reinvest all the earnings in the unit. It expects that at the end of 8 years, it will sell the unit for 16,600,000 euros after capital gains taxes are paid. The spot rate of the euro is $1.03 and is used as the forecast of the euro in the future years. Castro has no plans to hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk. The annualized U.S. risk-free interest rate is .05 regardless of the maturity of the debt, and the annualized risk-free interest rate on euros is .07, regardless of the maturity of debt. Assume that interest rate parity exists. Castros cost of capital is 0.19. It plans to use cash to make the acquisition. Determine the NPV under these conditions.
