Question 1.      Oregon Transportation Inc. (OTI) has just signed a contract to purchase light rail cars from a manufacturer in Germany for €2,500,000.

Because this is a sizable contract for the firm and because the contract is in euros rather than dollars, OTI is considering several hedging alternatives to reduce the exchange rate risk arising from the sale.

You will choose an MNC and write the report either

Question You will choose an MNC and write the report either as an investor or as the CFO of the MNC. If you chose the investor track, I want you to write the report as an investment analyst who have been asked to research the firm for potential investment. You will use the current price as your starting point and make a recommendation as to its future valuation. I want you to explain how the market values the MNC ‘s expected earnings and how volatile are its cash flows given its various exchange rate exposures and how these factors in your investment decision. If you chose the CFO track, write the report as if you are the new CFO of the MNC and discuss the current exchange rate exposure mechanisms and suggest how you would improve upon them or the future direction the MNC should take in their capital projects and other investments. Either of these tracks will involve that you understand the various exposures the MNC faces. You will have to dig through their annual reports (hence I suggest choosing a US-listed MNC, you will have more information) and understand their hedging program very clearly.

Scenario:Tom Jones, the CFO for the firm PSUWC Energy, LLC,

Question Scenario:Tom Jones, the CFO for the firm PSUWC Energy, LLC, woke up with a start at 4:00 am on 04/27/2018, due to his phone ringing. It was his senior financial analyst, vacationing in Europe, calling with bad news. Tom was supposed to present his project evaluation, at the end of the week, for the Board’s proposal that they invest in new equipment that generates electricity, using a new nuclear technology. His staff of financial analysts had been working hard over the last few weeks collecting data and had prepared a model creating a financial forecast about the proposed project’s viability.Disaster had struck on the night of 04/26/2018 wherein malware all but wiped out the work of the analysts. Tom needed to prepare a financial analysis of the project to present the Board with his recommendations. All the staff had already left for their annual vacation and Tom was on his own. Tom quickly reached his office and managed to salvage what was left of the excel spreadsheet prepared for the presentation. What follows is some basic information that Tom knew and was able to retrieve about the project.PSUWC’s existing plant has excess capacity, in a fully depreciated building, to install and run the new equipment. Due to relatively rapid advances in the technology, the project was expected to be discontinued in six years. The proposed project was capable of providing 33000 kW [1] per hour power. Typically, PSUWC ran its plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at an average of 63 % Capacity factor [2] , which is what the project would start with. However, his engineers had assured him that the implementation of the new technology would enable them to increase their capacity factor by 17 % a year till they reached a 100% capacity factor. (This meant that the capacity factor for year 2, CF2, would be = CF1*(1 growth_rate), till 100% was reached and then would stay at 100%). A total investment of $ 36,000,000.00 USD for new equipment was required. The equipment had fixed maintenance contracts of $ 4,200,000.00 per year with a salvage value of $ 8,000,000.00 and variable costs were 54 % of revenues.The new equipment would be depreciated to zero using straight line depreciation. The new project required an increase in working capital of $ 4,000,000.00 and $ 900,000.00 of this increase would be offset with accounts payable. PSUWC would be able to sell all the electricity it generated at the rate of $ 0.141 per kilo-watt hour in the market they served.The corporate tax rate was 32 % and PSUWC currently has 1,000,000 shares of stock outstanding at a current price of $ 16.00. The company also has 30,000 bonds outstanding, with a current price of $ 1,091.00. The bonds pay interest semi-annually at a coupon rate of 5.10 %. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 and will mature in 24 years.Even though the company has stock outstanding it is not publicly traded. Therefore, there is no publicly available financial information. However, management believes that given the industry they are in the most reasonable comparable publicly traded company is Companhia Paranaense de Energia – COPEL (NYSE Ticker Symbol ELP) [3] . In addition, management believes the S
