IntroductionIn this paper we will analyze information about Brazil and India. The approach we will take is that of a manufacturing organization considering expansion into these regions. We will then discuss the choice which was made regarding what country would be the best option for our company to expand in. Next we will identify the differences within each country's currency and exchange rates as well as their overall stability. We will use foreign exchange and cost of capital data in order to determine the appropriate capital sources. We will evaluate the information obtained from our sensitivity analysis and answer a variety of what if scenarios to reiterate our choice position.
