Q29. Assessing Foreign Project Funded With Debt and Equity. Nebraska Co. plans to pursue a project in Argentina that will generate revenue of 10 million Argentine pesos (ARS) at the end of each of the next 4 years. It will have to pay operating expenses of ARS 3 million per year. The Argentine government will charge a 30% tax rate on profits. All after-tax profits each year will be remitted to the U.S. parent and no additional taxes are owed. The spot rate of the ARS is EUSD/ARS = 0.2 at present. The ARS is expected to depreciate by 10% each year for the next 4 years. The salvage value of the assets will be worth ARS 40 million in 4 years after capital gains taxes are paid. The initial investment will require USD 12 million, half of which will be in the form of equity from the U.S. parent, and half of which will come from borrowed funds. Nebraska will borrow the funds in Argentine pesos. The annual interest rate on the funds borrowed is 14%. Annual interest (and zero principal) is paid on the debt at the end of each year, and the interest payments can be deducted before determining the tax owed to the Argentine government. The entire principal of the loan will be paid at the end of year 4. Nebraska requires a rate of return of at least 20% on its invested equity for this project to be worthwhile. Determine the NPV of this project. Should Nebraska pursue the project? (20 points)
