FIN 565 Week 5 Homework Solutions Question: Host Government Incentives for DFI Why would foreign governments provide MNCs with incentives to undertake DFI there? Question: DFI Location Decision De... cko Co. is a U.S. firm with a Chinese subsidiary that produces smart phones in China and sells them in Japan. This subsidiary pays its wages and its rent in Chinese yuan, which is stable relative to the dollar. The smartphones sold to Japan are denominated in Japanese yen. Assume that Decko Co. expects that the Chinese yuan will continue to stay stable against the dollar. The subsidiary’s main goal is to generate profits for itself and reinvest the profits. It does not plan to remit any funds to Decko, the U.S. parent. Assume that the Japanese yen strengthens against the U.S. dollar over time. How would this be expected to affect the profits earned by the Chinese subsidiary? If Decko Co. had established its subsidiary in Tokyo, Japan, instead of in China, would the subsidiary’s profits be more exposed or less exposed to exchange raterisk? Why do you think that Decko Co. established the subsidiary in China instead ofJapan? Assume no major country risk barriers. If the Chinese subsidiary needs to borrow money to finance its expansion and wants to reduce its exchange rate risk, should it borrow U.S. dollars, Chinese yuan, or Japanese yen? 3.
