Consider a Swiss subsidiary (Swiss AS) of a US firm, Kendall Systems. The current exchange rate is $0.80/SF. Swiss AS sells 6 million units, of which 3 million are sold at home and 3 million are exported selling at SF15/unit. It has fixed overhead costs of SF 6 million and direct costs (labor, raw material, etc.) of SF 10/unit. The firms has a straight line depreciation of SF 1 million each year and has a tax rate of 30%.
As a result of sudden depreciation of SF from $0.80/SF to $0.75/$, prices remain same at home (SF15 / unit) but there is an increase in export prices to SF20 / unit). Costs remain same.
Find the Cash flows in $ post-depreciation of SF?
so cash flow in dollars = $20.70 million
formulas will be as follows:
