Suppose an Australian rm considers an investment in India. Issues: Can we assess NPV in INR, as locals would do?

How does a multi-country market work, where investors think in different currencies depending on where they live?
risks and returns depend on the currency they are measured in, ... which violates the homogenous expectations assumption of standard CAPM

The beta is a measure of the assets relative riskthat is, the assets market covariance risk cov( rj , rm ), rescaled by the portfolios total risk, var( rm ). Beta can be estimated from the market-model regression. A risky asset with beta equal to zero should have an expected return that is equal to the risk-free rate, even if the assets return is uncertain. The reason is that the marginal contribution to the total market risk is zero. If an assets beta or relative risk is non-zero, the assets expected return should contain a risk premium. The additional return that can be expected per unit of beta is the markets expected excess return above the risk-free rate.
