Cahaya Co. does business in Malaysia and New Zealand. In attempting to assess its

operating exposure, it compiled the following information:

Cahayas Malaysia sales are somewhat affected by the value of the New Zealand

dollar (NZ$), because it faces competition from New Zealand exporters. It forecasts

the Malaysia sales based on the following three exchange rate scenarios:

Exchange Rate of NZ$ Revenue from Malaysian Business (in millions)

NZ$ = MYR 2.8914 100

NZ$ = MYR 3.0119 105

NZ$ = MYR 3.1324 110

Its New Zealand dollar revenues on sales to New Zealand invoiced in New Zealand

dollars are expected to be NZ$600 million.

Its anticipated cost of materials is estimated at MYR 200 million from the purchase

of Malaysia materials and NZ$100 million from the purchase of New Zealand

materials.

Fixed operating expenses are estimated at MYR 30 million.

Variable operating expenses are estimated at 20 percent of total sales (after

including New Zealand sales, translated to MYR amount).

Interest expense is estimated at MYR 20 million on existing Malaysia loans, and

the company has no existing New Zealand loans.

b) Explain how Cahaya's projected net cash flows are affected by possible

c) Explain 2 proactive methods on how it can restructure its operations to reduce
