1. A firm with dollar revenues is considering borrowing $22 million (or the equivalent) for 5 years. They are considering procuring a 5 year loan with annual installment (amortizing) payments. They are considering borrowing in dollars or British pounds which are currently worth $1.2350. The firm can borrow dollars at a 4.25% interest rate and a 3% flotation cost or borrow the pound at a 4.75% interest rate with a 2% flotation cost.

c) Given that there are flotation costs, what do you actually recommend and why? Mathematically show the borrowing costs.
2. Redo part c. of #1 assuming that UIP does not hold with respect to the future exchange rate (You still have the flotation costs). Suppose that the pound instead decreases in value by 2.50% per year.
What are the pound and dollar expected borrowing cost rates (IRRs) now?
Which do you now recommend? Explain.
