8. 1. A young financial analyst in Canadian
firm has been assigned the task of evaluating a direct investment project in
Mexico. She has worked out the operating cash flows of the project for the next
7 years For finding the NPV of the project she proposes the following four
alternatives:
(a) Discount the nominal MEP (Mexican Peso)
cash flows using the Mexican nominal interest rate used for similar projects
and translate into CAD using the current MEP/CAD spot rate.
(b) Discount the real i.e. inflation adjusted
MEP cash flows using the Mexican real interest rate and translate at the
current spot rate.
(c) Forecast the MEP/CAD exchange rate for
the next 7 years using PPP; translate nominal MEP cashflows into nominal CAD
cash flows; discount using nominal CAD interest rate used for similar projects.
(d) Adjust the nominal CAD cash flows for Canadian
inflation and discount using real Canadian interest rate.

identical answers. Is he right? If not, can you correct him? Justify your
answers with appropriate and sufficiently detailed arguments.

loans. Is this analysis accurate?
