No Chain of Events

1 A depreciation in the yen lead to

additional gross margin for Japanese automaker,

2 who

3 passed along some of this benefit to consumes in

the form of lower prices and,

as a result of lower prices, the Japanese

4 automakers gained market share in the U.S,
which

5 ate into unit sales at GM, which

6 lowered GM's profit, which

7 reduced GM's market value

 Data Collected

For every 1 yen depreciation, Japanese competitor's collective profit grew by more US$400 Million

Average Japanese content 20%-40% and pass-through rate 15%-45% of the cost savings. Cross elasticity to GM
sales : a 5% increase to lower unit sales by around 10%. Japanese automaker derived 56% and 43% of their
revenues from the U.S. market in 1999 and 2000.

Average incentive per unit in the US : Honda 664, Toyota 725

Any market share losses to Japanese automakers be shared equally by the Big Three

Average net income to net sales of GM for the past three years 2.6% (Exhibit 1)
