Answer #1

	Current Exchange Rate	Year-1	Year-2	Year-3	Year-4	Year-5
USD/SF	1.05	1.04	1.03	1.02	1.01	1.00
Note: Since as per equilibrium theory, exchange rate will adjust to nullify the arbitrage on account of Intetest Rate Difference. Hence, USD will devalue by 1 percent every year (Considering the interest rates will remain same). Calculation of the same will be :-*Current Exchange Rate/1.01 or Current Exchange Rate0.99, Year 2-Year One exchnage Rate/1.01 or Year One Exchange Rate0.99.......*

		SF (Million)-(A)	Exchange Rate-(B)	USD (Million)-C=(A*B)	Discounting Factor @ 14%- (D)	Discounted Cash Flow
Expansion Cost-Outflow		16	1.05	15.24	1	15.24

Inflow
Year-1		4.8	1.04	4.62	0.88	4.05
Year-2		4.8	1.03	4.66	0.77	3.59
Year-3		4.8	1.02	4.71	0.67	3.18
Year-4		4.8	1.01	4.76	0.59	2.82
Year-5		4.8	1.00	4.81	0.52	2.50
			Net Present value			16.13

						0.90

In case the exchange rate increase suddenly i.e. move above 1.05 say 1.08 or 1.10, *the cash flow in home currency will decrease* and will affect the viability if the project.
