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. O'Brien, Applied International Finance I: Managing Foreign Exchange Risk, 2nd edition, Business Expert Press, 2017.
