Foreign Exchange Risk and the cost of Borrowing Swiss Francs. The chapter demonstrated that a firm borrowing in a foreign currency could potentially end up paying a very different effective rate of interest than what it expected. Using the same baseline values of a debt principal of SF1.5 million, a one-year period, an initial spot rate of SF1,5000/s, a 5.000% cost of debt, and a 34% tax rate, what is the effective after-tax cost of debt for one year for a U.S. dollar-based company if the exchange rate at the end of the period was: a. SF1.5000/5 b. SF1.4400/$ C. SF1.3860/$ d. SF1.6240/5 BER a. If the exchange rate at the end of the period was SF 1.5000/$, what is the effective after-tax cost of debt? 1% (Round to four decimal places.)
