operations into Japan. The company supplies processed foods to storefront delicatessens in
large cities. This requires Deli- Delights to have a centralized production and warehousing
facility in each of these cities. Deli-Delights has located a possible site for a Japanese
subsidiary in Tokyo. The cost to purchase and equip the facility is ¥765,000,000. Perform an
ANPV analysis to determine whether this is a good investment, under the following
assumptions:
a. The average per-unit sales price will initially be ¥410.
b. First-year sales will be 15 million units, and physical sales will then grow at 10% per annum
for the next 3 years, 5% per annum for the 3 years after that, and then stabilize at 3% per

yen rate of inflation, which is forecast to be 1%. Dollar prices of semi-finished goods are
expected to rise at the U.S. dollar rate of inflation, which is expected to be 4%.
f. The yen/dollar exchange rate is currently ¥85/$, and the yen is expected to appreciate at a
rate justified by the expected inflation differential between the yen and dollar rates of inflation.
g. There will be a 4% royalty paid by the Japanese subsidiary to its U.S. parent.

dividends and royalty payments.

j. Net working capital will average 6% of total sales revenue.
k. Capital expenditures will offset depreciation.
l. All of the Japanese subsidiary’s free cash flow will be paid to the parent as dividends.
