Blueberry Farm Inc. (U.S. firm) is planning a project in Japan. The project would end in one year, when all earnings would be remitted to Blueberry. Assume that no additional corporate taxes are incurred beyond those imposed by the Japanese government. Since Blueberry would rent space, it would not have any long-term assets in Japan, and expects the salvage (terminal) value of the project to be about zero. Assume that the project's required rate of return is 25 percent. Also assume that the initial outlay is $250,000. The pretax earnings are expected to the 6,500,000 at the end of one year. The Japanese yen is expected to be worth $0.009 at the end of one year when the after-tax earnings are converted to dollars and remitted to the United States. The following forms of country risk, which are independent, must be considered: * The Japanese economy may weaken (probability = 55%), which would cause the expected pretax earnings to be 3,500,000. * The Japanese corporate tax rate on income earned by U.S. firms may increase from 35 percent to 45 percent (probability = 20 percent).
