17. International Joint Venture.Anheuser-Busch,
\nthe producer of Budweiser and other beers, has recently expanded into Japan by
\nengaging in a joint venture with Kirin Brewery, the largest brewery in
\nJapan. The joint venture enables
\nAnheuser-Busch to have its beer distributed through Kirin\u00e2\u0080\u0099s distribution
\nchannels in Japan. In addition, it can
\nutilize Kirin\u00e2\u0080\u0099s facilities to produce beer that will be sold locally. In return, Anheuser-Busch provides
\ninformation about the American beer market to Kirin.<\/p>\n
a. Explain how the joint venture can enable
\nAnheuser-Busch to achieve its objective of maximizing shareholder wealth.<\/p>\n
b. Explain
\nhow the joint venture can limit the risk of the international business.<\/p>\n
c. Many
\ninternational joint ventures are intended to circumvent barriers that normally
\nprevent foreign competition. What
\nbarrier in Japan is Anheuser-Busch circumventing as a result of the joint
\nventure? What barrier in the United
\nStates is Kirin circumventing as a result of the joint venture?<\/p>\n
d. Explain
\nhow Anheuser-Busch could lose some of its market share in countries outside
\nJapan as a result of this particular joint venture.<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
18. Impact of Eastern European Growth.The
\nmanagers of Loyola Corp. recently had a meeting to discuss new opportunities in
\nEurope as a result of the recent integration among Eastern European
\ncountries. They decided not to penetrate
\nnew markets because of their present focus on expanding market share in the
\nUnited States. Loyola\u00e2\u0080\u0099s financial
\nmanagers have developed forecasts for earnings based on the 12 percent market
\nshare (defined here as its percentage of total European sales) that Loyola
\ncurrently has in Eastern Europe. Is 12
\npercent an appropriate estimate for next year\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Eastern European market
\nshare? If not, does it likely
\noverestimate or underestimate the actual Eastern European market share next
\nyear?<\/p>\n
19.
\nValuation of an MNC.Birm Co.,
\nbased in Alabama, considers several international opportunities in Europe that
\ncould affect the value of its firm. The valuation of its firm is dependent on
\nfour factors: (1) expected cash flows in dollars, (2) expected cash flows in
\neuros that are ultimately converted into dollars, (3) the rate at which it can
\nconvert euros to dollars, and (4) Birm\u00e2\u0080\u0099s weighted average cost of capital. For
\neach opportunity, identify the factors that would be affected. <\/p>\n
Birm
\n plans a licensing deal in which it will sell technology to a firm in
\n Germany for $3,000,000; the payment is invoiced in dollars, and this
\n project has the same risk level as its existing businesses.
\nBirm
\n plans to acquire a large firm in Portugal that is riskier than its
\n existing businesses.
\nBirm
\n plans to discontinue its relationship with a U.S. supplier so that can
\n import a small amount of supplies (denominated in euros) at a lower cost
\n from a Belgian supplier.
\nBirm
\n plans to export a small amount of materials to Ireland that are
\n denominated in euros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
