Wenceslas Refining Company. Privately owned Wenceslas Refining Company is considering investing in the Czech Republic so as to have a refinery source closer to its European customers. The original investment in Czech korunas (CZK) would amount to CZK240 million, or USD11,428,571 at the current exchange rate of CZK21.00 = USD1.00, all in fixed assets, which will be depreciated over ten years by the straight-line method. An additional CZK110,000,000 will be needed for working capital. Wenceslas does not believe it can forecast exchange rates so assumes they will remain fixed at the current spot rate over the entire period. For capital budgeting purposes Wenceslas assumes sale as a going concern at the end of the third year at a price, after all taxes, equal to the net book value of fixed assets alone (not including working capital). All free cash flow, basically net income, will be repatriated to the United States as a dividend each year. In evaluating the venture, the U.S. dollar forecasts are shown in the table Variable manufacturing costs are expected to be 50% of sales. No additional funds need be invested in the U.S. subsidiary during the period under consideration. The Czech Republic imposes no restrictions on repatriation of any funds of any sort. The Czech corporate tax rate is 19% and the United States rate is 21%. Both countries allow a tax credit for taxes paid in other countries. Wenceslas uses 13% as its cost of capital, and its objective is to maximize present value. Is the investment attractive to Wenceslas Refining?
