a. Expected dollar cash flow of Bangor Co. = Expected dollar cash flow from domestic operation + Expected dollar cash flow from export
Where,
Expected dollar cash flow from domestic operation = $900,000
Expected dollar cash flow from export = (expect cash inflow in Swiss francs - expect cash outflow in Swiss francs) * conversion rate ($/Swiss franc)
= (200,000 – 500,000) * $1.10
= - 300,000 * $1.10 = - $330,000
Therefore,
Expected dollar cash flow of Bangor Co. = $900,000 - $330,000
= $570,000
b. Let’s first calculate Expected dollar cash flow of Concord Co. = Expected dollar cash flow from domestic operation + Expected dollar cash flow from export
Where,
Expected dollar cash flow from domestic operation = $900,000
Expected dollar cash flow from export = (expect cash inflow in Swiss francs - expect cash outflow in Swiss francs) * conversion rate ($/Swiss franc)
= (700,000 – 800,000) * $1.10
= - 100,000 * $1.10 = - $110,000
Therefore,
Expected dollar cash flow of Concord Co. = $900,000 - $110,000
= $790,000
As the Expected cash flow from export is less for Concord Co. therefore its total cash flow is less uncertain in comparison of Bangor Co.
