Assume that the international parity conditions hold. Required returns for projects in this risk class are: . BRL - 12.0% in Brazilian real; and USD = 15.083% in United States dollar The spot exchange rate is BRL/USD BRL 3.8458/USD. The project country's government has United States dollar-denominated bonds outstanding that currently yield 6.09% per annum.
