  10. NPV CALCULATION • Discount rate = Long-term Brazilian securities rate + 2.75% (given) • NPV of the project = $7.23M • Since NPV = +ve, we advice HAC to invest

  11. FUNDING POLICY • HAC should borrow as much funds as it can in Brazil to cover the economic exposure. • Debt payments should match with revenues. • Better balance between inflows and outflows denominated in foreign currency (BRR). • Borrow from Brazil’s Government in BRR. • Finance from investors and suppliers in BRR.

  12. HEDGING POLICY i) 5% deposit of the proposed investment: Buy forward BRR for paying the deposit. If we know when CVRD is giving us the money back in case of loosing the contract buy a BRR put option for that time T. ii) In case HAC's bid is accepted it needs to make a substantial investment in BRR denominated assets: For the net revenue amount after paying debt denominated in BRR. Sell 7-year BRR forward and Roll it over, or sell BRR forward today for each of the revenues from 99 to 05.
