This text is designed for use in a course in an applied international corporate finance for managers and executives. Instead of the encyclopedic approach, the text focuses on the two main issues of interest to managers who deal with overseas operations. The first main issue is how uncertain foreign exchange (FX) rate changes affect a firm's ongoing cash flows and equity value, and what can be done about that risk. The second main issue is the estimation of the cost of capital for international operations and the evaluation of overseas investment proposals. Numerous examples of real world companies are used.

This volume is part of a three-volume set designed for use in applied international corporate finance courses for students, managers, and executives. Instead of an "encyclopedic" approach, the volumes focus on the main interests of managers who deal with international finance issues. This volume's issue is the cost of capital in international financial markets, hurdle rates for overseas operations, cross-border valuation, and international capital budgeting applications. The volume contains a hypothetical case that aims to tie the material together. The case company is evaluating an overseas expansion proposal and whether to locate the manufacturing facility in the home country or the overseas country. This volume reviews some basics of foreign exchange rates; for more information, see the first volume: Thomas J. O'Brien, Introduction to Foreign Exchange Rates, 2nd edition, Business Expert Press, 2016. The second volume deals how uncertain foreign exchange rate changes affect a firm's ongoing cash flows and equity value, and what can be done about this risk: Thomas J.

Evidence suggests that interntaional capital markets are neither fully integrated nor completely semented. There is, however, currently no general method available for computing the required return on corporate investments in such capital markets. This paper uses a model of partially integrated international capital markets to derive optimal international capital budgeting rules. We show how capital budgeting rules depend on the level of investor costs to cross-border investment, both directly and also indirectly through the portfolio specialization they induce. We explain how required returns differ for different companies raising capital in such markets and how these costs of capital may be estimated. We also explain how these differences in required return can be consistent with general equilibrium and the effects they have on incentives for foreign direct investment.

The adjusted net present value approach to international capital budgeting has been questioned recently as to its theoretical correctness and ease of applicability. The alternative set forth by critics is a return to the weighted average cost of capital. In this paper we compare these two approaches, show the conceptual superiority of adjusted net present value to weighted average cost of capital (indeed the latter is a restrictive special case of the former), and reaffirm the usefulness of valuation by components in the international corporate setting. In particular, we illustrate its application to projects involving blocked funds, concessional finance, cash flows with differing exposures to nominal and real exchange rate movements, and political risks that depend on project cash flows as well as to sensitivity analysis in general...
