T= 1 Year

Remark

AUD loan taken by Haier from Biopharma

CF = +A$ 1,690,000

Haier takes A$ 1.69 loan from Biopharma for 1 year at 14.24% interest

CF = 1,930,000 – 1,690,000 – 240,656

= -A$ 656

In CNY, Loss = -A$656*3.3823 CNY/A$ = (2,219) CNY (Loss)

Haier receives return of A$ 1.93 m, repays the loan to Biopharma with interest.

Interest in A$ = 1690000*0.1424 = 240,656

Exchange rate at T=1

= 3.3823 CNY/A$

CNY loan given by Haier to Biopharma

CF = + 6,336,486 - 6,336,486 = 0

Haier takes CNY 6.34 m loan in china at 11.08% and in turn loans it out to Biopharma at 7.10%

CF = + (6,336,486 + 449,891) – (6,336,486+ 702,083)

= (252,192) CNY (Loss)

Hair gets the loan back from Biopharma with interest @ 7.10% and in turn return it to Chinese lender @11.08%

Exchange rate today = 3.7494 CNY/A$

Loan amount in CNY to Biopharma = 1690000 * 3.7494 = 6,336,486

Interest received by Haier = 6,336,486 * 0.071 = 448,891

Interest paid by Haier = 6,336,486 * 0.1108 = 702083

So, Total Loss made by Haier in CNY = -2219 – 252192 = -CNY 254,411
