How are these effectsreckoned?
The effect of these factors are capturedwhile projecting the cashflows andcalculating the discounting rate.
When the risk perception is higher, aconservative estimate of the cashflow istaken.
When the risk perception is higher, the
discount rate is adjusted upwards withhigher risk premia in the cost of equity.

From whose point of view is theappraisal undertaken?
Any international investment of a companyis to be treated as an equity investment.
Hence the shareholder of the parent
company are the ultimate beneficiaries ofthe investment, so the evaluation has to beundertaken from the parents shareholderspoints of view.
The project can also be evaluated from thehost country perspective, treating it as astand alone project.

What is the Currency of Evaluation?
Since the investment is being made by aparent company the currency of evaluationhas to be that of the parent.
Two approaches to convert the cashflows Discount all the cashflows in foreign currency
and convert the present values at spot rate.
Convert the yearly cashflows using the
respective expected exchange rate. In general PPP is assumed and used to
predict future exchange rates.

What is the technique to be usedfor Appraisal?
The traditional NPV technique inadequate since
It bundles all the cashflows with differing associatedrisk.
It applies only one discount rate for all the cashflows
Hence a refined technique used called THE ADJUSTEDPRESENT VALUE (APV)
It segregates all the cashflows with unique associatedrisk.
It applies only varying discount rates for different
cashflowsHOWEVER THE BASIC CONCEPT THAT PRESENT VALUES
OF CASH INFLOWS HAVE TO BE GREATER THAN THEINITIAL INVESTMENT ALWAYS REMAINS

How do you arrive at the annualoperating cashflows?
The rules are similar to that of atypical domestic capital expendituredecision.
Since the project is evaluated fromthe parent countrys equityshareholders, the Post Corporate Tax
Post Repatriation Tax cashflows haveto be calculated.

Which Countrys depreciation Ratesto be used?
Since the depreciation is claimed atthe subsidiary level, the depreciationrate of the subsidiary country (hostcountry) has to be applied.
The Depreciation Tax shield has tocalculated based on the higher of host
and home country tax rates.

Simply the higher of the twocountries tax rate to be applied when there is a double taxation

Which countrys inflation rate hasto be considered?
Naturally the host country (subsidiarycountrys) inflation, since theoperations take place there.
Parent country inflation is embeded inthe discounting rate applicable forcalculating the APV

What should be the discount ratefor APV
The discount rate applicable depends onthe cashflows to be discounted and the rateapplicable should be relevant to thecurrency. Operating cashflows all equity discounting rate
adjusted for all risks.
Depreciation and Debt tax shields Riskless rateof the home country
Transfer Pricing cashflows Higher than the allequity rate
Subsidised Loans The cost of debt without thesubsidy
