Chapter 24,International Financial Management,Pearson Education Limited 2004Fundamentals of Financial Management,12/e Created by:Gregory A.Kuhlemeyer,Ph.D.Carroll College,Waukesha,WI,After studying Chapter 24,you should be able to:,Explain why many firms invest in foreign operations.Explain why foreign investment is different from domestic investment.Describe how capital budgeting,in an international environment,is similar or dissimilar to that in a domestic environment.Understand the types of exchange-rate exposure and how to manage exchange-rate risk exposure.Compute domestic equivalents of foreign currencies given the spot or forward exchange rates.Understand and illustrate the purchasing-power parity(PPP)and interest rate parity.Describe the specific instruments and documents used in structuring international trade transactions.Distinguish among countertrade,export factoring,and forfaiting.,International Financial Management,Some BackgroundTypes of Exchange-Rate Risk ExposureManagement of Exchange-Rate Risk ExposureStructuring International Trade Transactions,Some Background,Fill product gaps in foreign markets where excess returns can be earned.To produce products in foreign markets more efficiently than domestically.To secure the necessary raw materials required for product production.,What is a companys motivation to invest capital abroad?,International Capital Budgeting,1.Estimate expected cash flows in the foreign currency.2.Compute their U.S.-dollar equivalents at the expected exchange rate.3.Determine the NPV of the project using the U.S.required rate of return,with the rate adjusted upward or downward for any risk premium effect associated with the foreign investment.,How does a firm make an international capital budgeting decision?,International Capital Budgeting,Only consider those cash flows that can be“repatriated”(returned)to the home-country parent.The exchange rate is the number of units of one currency that may be purchased with one unit of another currency.For example,the current exchange rate might be 2.50 Freedonian marks per one U.S.dollar.,International Capital Budgeting Example,A firm is considering an investment in Freedonia,and the initial cash outlay is 1.5 million marks.The project has 4-year project life with cash flows given on the next slide.The appropriate required return for repatriated U.S.dollars is 18%.The appropriate expected exchange rates are given on the next slide.,International project details:,International Capital Budgeting Example,0-1,500,000

reductionU.S.Government taxationTaxable income derived from non-domestic operations through a branch or division is taxed under U.S.code.Foreign subsidiaries are taxed under foreign tax codes until dividends are received by the U.S.parent from the foreign subsidiary.,Related issues of concern:,International Capital Budgeting,Tax codes and policies differ from country to country,but all countries impose income taxes on foreign companies.The U.S.government provides a tax credit to companies to avoid the double taxation problem.A credit is provided up to the amount of the foreign tax,but not to exceed the same proportion of taxable earnings from the foreign country.Excess tax credits can be carried forward.,Foreign Taxation,International Capital Budgeting,Expropriation is the ultimate political risk.Developing countries may provide financial incentives to enhance foreign investment.Bottom line:Forecasting political instability.Protect the firm by hiring local nationals,acting responsibly in the eyes of the host government,entering joint ventures,making the subsidiary reliant on the parent company,and/or purchasing political risk insurance.,Political Risk,Important Exchange-Rate Terms,Currency risk can be thought of as the volatility of the exchange rate of one currency for another(say British pounds per U.S.dollar).,Spot Exchange Rate-The rate today for exchanging one currency for another for immediate delivery.,Forward Exchange Rate-The rate today for exchanging one currency for another at a specific future date.,Types of Exchange-Rate Risk Exposure,Translation Exposure-Relates to the change in accounting income and balance sheet statements caused by changes in exchange rates.Transactions Exposure-Relates to settling a particular transaction at one exchange rate when the obligation was originally recorded at another.Economic Exposure-Involves changes in expected future cash flows,and hence economic value,caused by a change in exchange rates.,Management of Exchange-Rate Risk Exposure,Natural hedgesCash managementAdjusting of intracompany accountsInternational financing hedgesCurrency market hedges,Natural Hedges,Both scenarios are natural hedges as any gain(loss)from exchange rate fluctuations in pricing is reduced by an offsetting loss(gain)in costs in similar global markets.,Globally Domestically Determined DeterminedScenario 1Pricing XCost XScenario 2PricingXCostX,Natural Hedges-“Not!”,Both of these scenarios are not natural hedges and thus create a possible firm exposure to events that impact one market and not the other market.,Globally Domestically Determined DeterminedScenario 3Pricing XCostXScenario 4Pricing XCost X,Cash Management,Exchange cash for real assets(inventories)whose value is in their use rather than tied to a currency.Reduce or avoid the amount of trade credit that will be extended as the dollar value that the firm will receive is reduced and reduce any cash that does arrive as quickly as possible.Obtain trade credit or borrow in the local currency so that the money is repaid with fewer dollars.,What should a firm do if it knew that a local foreign currency was going to fall in value(e.g.,drop from$.70 per peso to$.60 per peso)?,Cash Management,Generally,one cannot predict the future exchange rates,and the best policy would be to balance monetary assets against monetary liabilities to neutralize the effect of exchange-rate fluctuations.A reinvoicing center is a company-owned financial subsidiary that purchases exported goods from company affiliates and resells(reinvoices)them to other affiliates or independent customers.,Cash Management,Generally,the reinvoicing center is billed in the selling units home currency and bills the purchasing unit in that units home currency.Allows better management of intracompany transactions.,Netting-A system in which cross-border purchases among participating subsidiaries of the same company are netted so that each participant pays or receives only the net amount of its intracompany purchases and sales.,International Financing Hedges,Foreign commercial banks perform essentially the same financing functions as domestic banks except:They allow longer term loans.Loans are generally made on an overdraft basis.Nearly all major commercial cities have U.S.bank branches or offices available for customers.The use of“discounting”trade bills is widely utilized in Europe versus minimal usage in the United States.,1.Commercial Bank Loans and Trade Bills,International Financing Hedges,Eurodollars are bank deposits denominated in U.S.dollars but not subject to U.S.banking regulations.This market is unregulated.Therefore,the differential between the rate paid on deposits and that charged on loans varies according to the risk of the borrower and current supply and demand forces.Rates are typically quoted in terms of the LIBOR.It is a major source of short-term financing for the working capital requirements of the multinational company.,2.Eurodollar Financing,International Financing Hedges,A Eurobond is a bond issued internationally outside of the country in whose currency the bond is denominated.The Eurobond is issued in a single currency,but is placed in multiple countries.A foreign bond is issued by a foreign government or corporation in a local market.For example,Yankee bonds,and Samurai bonds.Many international debt issues are floating rate notes that carry a variable interest rate.,3.International Bond Financing,International Financing Hedges,Currency-option bonds provide the holder with the option to choose the currency in which payment is received.For example,a bond might allow you to choose between yen and U.S.dollars.Currency cocktail bonds provide a degree of exchange-rate stability by having principal and interest payments being a weighted average of a“basket”of currencies.Dual-currency bonds have their purchase price and coupon payments denominated in one currency,while a different currency is used to make principal payments.,4.Currency-Option and Multiple-Currency bonds,Currencies and the Euro,Each country has a representative currency like the$(dollar)in the United States or the(pound)in Britain.On January 1,1999,the“euro”started trading.The euro is the common currency of the European Monetary Union(EMU),which currently includes the following 12 European Union(EU)countries:Austria,Belgium,Finland,France,Germany,Greece,Ireland,Italy,Luxembourg,the Netherlands,Portugal,and Spain.,Euro The name given to the single European currency.Symbol is(much like the dollar,$).,Currency Market Hedges,A forward contract is a contract for the delivery of a commodity,foreign currency,or financial instrument at a price specified now,with delivery and settlement at a specified future date.Spot rate$.168 per EFr 90-day forward rate.166 per EFrAs shown,the Elbonian franc(EFr)is said to sell at a forward discount as the forward price is less than the spot rate.If the forward rate is$.171,the EFr is said to sell at a forward premium.,1.Forward Exchange Market,Currency Market Hedges,The firm has the option of selling 1 million Elbonian francs forward 90 days.The firm will receive$166,000 in 90 days(1 million Elbonian francs x$.166).Therefore,if the actual spot price in 90 days is less than.166,the firm benefited from entering into this transaction.If the rate is greater than.166,the firm would have benefited from not entering into the transaction.,Fillups Electronics has just sold equipment worth 1 million Elbonian francs with credit terms of“net 90.”How can the firm hedge the currency risk?,Currency Market Hedges,Typical discount or premium ranges for stable currencies are from 0 to 8%,but may be as high as 20%for unstable currencies.,How much does this“insurance”cost?Annualized cost of protection=($.002)/($.168)X(365 days/90 days)=.011905 X 4.0556=.0483 or 4.83%,Currency Market Hedges,A futures contract is a contract for the delivery of a commodity,foreign currency,or financial instrument at a specified price on a stipulated future date.A currency futures market exists for the major currencies of the world.Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges.The clearinghouse of the exchange interposes itself between the buyer and the seller.Therefore,transactions are not made directly between two parties.Very few contracts involve actual delivery at expiration.,2.Currency Futures,Currency Market Hedges,Sellers(buyers)cancel a contract by purchasing(selling)another contract.This is an offsetting position that closes out the original contract with the clearinghouse.Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily.This is different than forward contracts that are settled only at maturity.Contracts come in only standard-size contracts(e.g.,12.5 million yen per contract).,2.Currency Futures(continued),Currency Market Hedges,A currency option is a contract that gives the holder the right to buy(call)or sell(put)a specific amount of a foreign currency at some specified price until a certain(expiration)date.Currency options hedge only adverse currency movements(“one-sided”risk).For example,a put option can hedge only downside movements in the currency exchange rate.Options exist in both the spot and futures markets.The value depends on exchange rate volatility.,3.Currency Options,Currency Market Hedges,In a currency swap two parties exchange debt obligations denominated in different currencies.Each party agrees to pay the others interest obligation.At maturity,principal amounts are exchanged,usually at a rate of exchange agreed to in advance.The exchange is notional-only the cash flow difference is paid.Swaps are typically arranged through a financial intermediary,such as a commercial bank.A variety of(complex)arrangements are available.,4.Currency Swaps,Macro Factors Governing Exchange-Rate Behavior,The idea that a basket of goods should sell for the same price in two countries,after exchange rates are taken into account.For example,the price of wheat in Canadian and U.S.markets should trade at the same price(after adjusting for the exchange rate).If the price of wheat is lower in Canada,then purchasers will buy wheat in Canada as long as the price is cheaper(after accounting for transportation costs).,Purchasing-Power Parity(PPP),Macro Factors Governing Exchange-Rate Behavior,Thus,demand will fall in the U.S.and increase in Canada to bring prices back into equilibrium.The price elasticity of exports and imports influences the relationship between a countrys exchange rate and its purchasing-power parity.Commodity items and products in mature industries are more likely to conform to PPP.Frictions such as government intervention and trade barriers cause PPP not to hold.,Purchasing-Power Parity(PPP continued),Macro Factors Governing Exchange-Rate Behavior,It suggests that if interest rates are higher in one country than they are in another,the formers currency will sell at a discount in the forward market.Remember that the Fisher effect implies that the nominal rate of interest equals the real rate of interest plus the expected rate of inflation.The international Fisher effect suggests that differences in interest rates between two countries serve as a proxy for differences in expected inflation.,Interest-Rate Parity,Macro Factors Governing Exchange-Rate Behavior,F=current forward exchange-rate in foreign currency per dollar.S=current spot exchange-rate in foreign currency per dollar.rforeign=foreign interbank Euromarket interest raterdollar=U.S.interbank Euromarket interest rate,Interest-Rate Parity(continued)The international Fisher effect suggests:,FS,=,1+rforeign1+rdollar,Interest-Rate Parity Example,The current German 90-day interest rate is 4%.The current U.S.90-day interest rate is 2%.The current spot rate is.706 Freedonian marks per U.S.dollar($1.416 per mark).What is the implied 90-day forward rate?,Interest-Rate Parity Example,F=(1.04)x(.706)/(1.02)=.720Thus,the implied 90-day forward rate is.720 marks per dollar.,The implied 90-day forward rate is:,F.706,=,1+.041+.02,Structuring International Trade Transactions,In international trade,sellers often
