Groupe Ariel SA Case
Introduction
Groupe Ariel SA of France is considering a project in Mexico. They need to analyze the net present value of the project, keeping in mind the exchange rates between Mexican Pesos and Euros in order to maximize their return. They also need to keep in mind the inflation rates over time and the risks involved with this type of investment.
Analysis
Number 1.
Groupe Ariel is recycling old equipment in Mexico. They will need to use pesos to calculate their cash flows to see how this part of their project will impact their finances. They also need to convert this peso amount into Euros.
We began the analysis by computing the Net Present Value (NPV) of Ariel-Mexico’s recycling equipment. This was done by

We calculated the NPV of the euro investment in two ways. The first was by simply computed by dividing the Peso NPV by the current spot exchange rate. The second method involved using a derivation of the PPP equation to compute the projected future exchange rates. The NPV was calculated after the Cash flows and Net investment were converted to Euros. The value of the Euro Investment was equal in both situations because of the presumption of PPP. NPVEuro = | 92,495.18 € |
Please see appendix B for a complete calculations and cash flows of this problem.
Number 3.
Next, Groupe Ariel needs to understand if, why, and how the NPVs in the two sets of calculations differ.
The third problem required us to compare the corresponding NPV calculated in Problems 1 and 2. If purchasing power parity holds for the entire period of the investment there will be no difference between either of the approaches. In order to look at the impact of a lack of purchasing power parity we ran two additional scenarios where the PPP did not exist. In order to simulate this scenario I increased and decreased each expected exchange rate by 5%. The results can be seen in the [appendix XX] representing problem 3. It is clear that if the interest rates remain, yet the euro appreciated against the peso the NPV will be greater than the peso value (assuming no PPP), and if the euro depreciates against the peso the Euro NPV will be less than the Peso NPV
Based on the table, the largest changes in NPV are due to changes in the annual cost savings. On the surface, the NPV is more sensitive to changes in cost savings than the initial investment based on the assumed range of changes. In fairness, the variation in annual cash flows of 40% is over two times larger than the variation allowed for in the initial investments (15%). A more meaningful comparison could be obtained by adjusting the two factors
According to the estimated net present value of the investment in Nueva Aldea project, we would suggest the company to go ahead with the investment (The project Net Present Value estimations are shown in Exhibit 1).

Scenario: Grocery, Inc., is a retail grocery store chain based in Any State, U.S.A. Grocery has stores throughout the United States. Grocery has written contracts with many different vendors to purchase the products they sell in their stores. Vendors range from individuals to international corporations. Tom Green works as the produce manager for the store in My Town, U.S.A. Jeff Fresh, 17 years old, is spending his summer vacation working for Tom in the produce department.
To analyze disparate impact, it requires to compare the availability of protected classes (the proportion of the qualified and available workforce who are members of protected classes) to the utilization of protected classes (the proportion of those employed who are members of protected classes) for each job in the organization.
The purpose of this report is to analyse the reasons for, the impact of, and the measures taken in response to the Mexican currency crisis of 1994-1995. The first objective is to assess the reasons for the crisis. Why did Mexico, a once immensely desirable investment destination become the bain of the international financial community following December 1994?

The following paper analyzes a project from financial perspectives using the capital budgeting techniques like Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR).
2. Since CapExpt is denominated in HKD while the rests of the selected data are denominated in RMB, we can apply the given exchange rate of HKD 1 = RMB 1.1037 to convert the CapExpt into RMB for comparable calculations. We will eventually convert our estimation about SHXS’s equity value back to HKD again by using the same exchange rate.
