The company will also incur a fixed cost of BOB 120,000 per year. The company has invested BOB 900,000 today in manufacturing equipment for its Bolivian operations, which will be depreciated at $300,000 annually over its 3-year life. The corporation's required rate of return (WACC) is 20% and has a tax rate of 25%. The spot rate was BOB 6.91/$ before it unexpectedly changed to BOB 7.25/$.
