Captal Budgetng MNCs have to answer the followng questons n ther captal budgetng process: In what should the frm express a egn project's cash flows? How s the cost of captal computed MNCs? Assume U.. frm perms analyss project wth cash flows n s: Intal Cost -,000,000 Two alternatves to compute project s NPV: Year 900,000 Year 850,000 Year 800,000 Dscount -denomnated cash flows usng -based cost of captal,then convert back to dollars 4 Calculate NPV n dollar terms 4
