Brower, Inc., just constructed a manufacturing plant in Ghana. The construction cost $8$ billion Ghanaian cedi. Brower intends to leave the plant open for three years. During the three years of operation, cedi cash flows are expected to be $3$ billion cedi, $3$ billion cedi, and $2$ billion cedi, respectively. Operating cash flows will begin one year from today and are remitted back to the parent at the end of each year. At the end of the third year, Brower expects to sell the plant for $4$ billion cedi. Brower has a required rate of return of $16$ percent. It currently takes $8,500$ cedi to buy $1$ U$.$S$.$ dollar, and the cedi is expected to depreciate by $6$ percent per year.
