Carpet Baggers Inc. is proposing to construct a new bagging plant in a country in Europe. The two prime candidates are Germany and Switzerland. The forecasted cash flows from the proposed plants are as follows:
| C0 | C1 | C2 | C3 | C4 | C5 | C6 | IRR (%) | |
| Germany (Millions of Euros) | -60 | +10 | +15 | +15 | +20 | +20 | +20 | 15.0% |
| Switzerland (Millions of Euros) | -120 | +20 | +30 | +30 | +35 | +35 | +35 | 12.8% |
The spot exchange rate for euros is $1.3/€, while the rate for Swiss francs is CHF 1.5/$. The interest rate is 5% in the United States, 4% in Switzerland, and 6% in the euro countries. The financial manager has suggested that, if the cash flows were stated in dollars, a return in excess of 10% would be acceptable.
Should the company go ahead with either project? If it must choose between them, which should it take?
