One of the important components of multinational capital budgeting is to analyze the cash flows generated from subsidiary companies. Consider this case: Sacramone Products Co. is a U.S. firm evaluating a project in Australia. You have the following information about the project: • The project requires an investment of AU$1,230,000 today and is expected to generate cash flows of AU$1,200,000 at the end of each of the next two years. • The current exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar is $0.7877 per Australian dollar (AU$). • The one-year forward exchange rate is $0.8109 / AU$, and the two-year forward exchange rate is $0.8455 / AU$. • The firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 9%, and the project is of average risk. What is the dollar-denominated net present value (NPV) of this project? $933,397 $777,831 $738,939 $855,614
