9. International capital budgeting Aa Aa One of the important components of multinational capital budgeting is to analyze the cash flows generated from subsidiary companies. Foreign governments have certain motivations to restrict the repatriation of earnings of multinational firms to the parent company. This implies that not all earnings and profits generated at the subsidiary can be used by the parent company to pay dividends or to reinvest. Thus, from the perspective of the parent company, the relevant cash flows for the parent company in the foreign investment analysis are the cash flows that: O The subsidiary firm pays to the foreign government as taxes O The foreign government repatriates O The subsidiary sends back to the parent company Consider this case: Sacramone Products Co. is a U.S.-based firm evaluating a project in Mexico.
