Why is the gain in a firm's value greater when more of its future foreign currency income is in the low tax region of the tax code?

What will be an ideal response?


This question is somewhat poorly phrased. If all of the firm's foreign currency income accrued in the low tax region of the tax code, there would be no gain to hedging. The gain in a firm's value (from hedging) arises from the ability to shift income from states in which it is subject to high taxes to states in which it is subject to low taxes.
