You are evaluating a proposed expansion of an existing subsidiary located in Switzerland. The cost of the expansion would be SF 16 million. The cash flows from the project would be SF 4.5 million per year for the next five years. The dollar required return is 13 percent per year, and the current exchange rate is SF 1.10. The going rate on Eurodollars is 4 percent per year. It is 2 percent per year on Euroswiss. Use the approximate form of interest rate parity in calculating the expected spot rates.

a. Convert the projected franc flows into dollar flows and calculate the NPV. (Enter your answer in dollars, not in millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
