Managing Transaction Exposure
explain about techniques for hedging transaction exposure, how to used hedge future, option, money market for payable and receivable, comparing techniques for hedging vs not-hedging
International Flow of Funds
this chapter we are going to explain key, components of the BoP, and explain how the international flow of funds is influenced by economic factors and other factors
Managing Economic Exposure and Translation Exposure
This document discusses how multinational corporations can manage economic and translation exposure through hedging strategies. It explains that economic exposure refers to how exchange rate fluctuations can impact future cash flows. MNCs can assess economic exposure and reduce it by restructuring operations to balance exchange rate sensitive cash flows. Translation exposure results from translating foreign subsidiary financials to the home currency, but does not directly impact cash flows. MNCs can hedge translation exposure using forward contracts to offset gains or losses from currency fluctuations. However, hedging translation exposure has limitations from inaccurate forecasts and accounting distortions.
Interest rates and currency swaps
This chapter discusses interest rate swaps and currency swaps. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of interest rate payment obligations on a set notional principal between two counterparties, while currency swaps involve the exchange of principal and interest rate payment obligations in different currencies. The size of the global swap market is substantial, with over $127 trillion in notional principal outstanding for interest rate swaps and over $7 trillion for currency swaps as of mid-2004. The chapter covers the role of swap banks, how swaps are quoted in the market, the mechanics of interest rate and currency swaps, and risks involved in swap transactions.
Chapter5 International Finance Management
The document provides answers and solutions to questions about the foreign exchange market. It defines the market as encompassing the conversion of currencies and trading of currency options and futures. It describes the retail and interbank markets, with retail transactions making up 14% of trades. Major participants are international banks, their customers, non-bank dealers, brokers, and central banks. Interbank trades are settled through correspondent bank accounts. A currency trading at a premium in the forward market has a higher forward price than spot price. Most trading involves the US dollar due to its international use. Banks can eliminate currency exposure from client forward trades through swap transactions. Triangular arbitrage exploits price differences between currency pairs.
Chapter 06a
The document discusses different exchange rate systems used by governments and how governments can intervene in currency markets to influence exchange rates. It describes direct intervention where central banks exchange currencies they hold as reserves and indirect intervention where governments influence factors like interest rates. Government intervention aims to smooth exchange rate movements and respond to economic conditions, though market forces often overwhelm intervention efforts. Intervention is one policy tool governments use to achieve objectives like reducing unemployment or inflation.

International financial system
The document discusses the history and evolution of international monetary systems. It describes the gold standard system before WWI, the gold exchange standard in the 1920s-1930s, and the Bretton Woods system established in 1944 which pegged currencies to the US dollar backed by gold. The Bretton Woods system collapsed in the early 1970s leading to fluctuating exchange rates. More recently, there has been a movement towards more flexible exchange rate regimes and the establishment of the eurozone in Europe.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION
This document discusses the role and responsibilities of an international financial manager. It begins with an introduction to concepts like globalization and the rise of multinational corporations.

Different types of international bonds are described such as foreign bonds, eurobonds, and global bonds. The document also outlines various money market instruments like euro notes, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit.
Currency Exchange Risk
This document discusses currency exchange risk and how international marketers manage it. It provides an overview of currency risk and exchange rates. Currency risk occurs when companies have assets or operations across borders or loans in foreign currencies. Exchange rates determine the value of one currency relative to another. The document then discusses sources of exchange rate risk, how the foreign exchange market works, factors that influence exchange rates, and strategies international marketers can use to manage currency risk such as hedging and adjusting prices.
Global financial market
The document discusses financial markets and their key characteristics. It defines financial markets as marketplaces where buyers and sellers trade assets like stocks, bonds, currencies and derivatives. Financial markets have transparent pricing, basic regulations, and market forces that determine security prices. The document then discusses several benefits of financial markets, including channeling savings into productive uses, facilitating price discovery, providing liquidity to financial assets, and reducing transaction costs.
Option cross rate
* The corporation purchased call options with an exercise price of $0.50/pound
* The premium paid was $0.02/pound
* At maturity, the spot rate was $0.65/pound
* Since the spot rate ($0.65) is higher than the exercise price ($0.50), it is rational to exercise the options
* To pay the 70,000 pound liability, the corporation will:
** Exercise the options and pay at the exercise price of $0.50/pound
** This costs 70,000 * $0.50 = $35,000
** Plus pay the premium of 70,000 * $0.02 = $1,400
* Therefore, the total amount
Chapter12 International Finance Management
Sara Lee Corporation issued its first Eurobonds, selling $100 million of three-year bonds with a 6% coupon rate. The bonds were fairly priced and offered a higher yield than US Treasuries. Sara Lee has an excellent credit rating and plans to use the bond proceeds for general corporate purposes. By issuing Eurobonds, Sara Lee can more quickly bring new debt issues to market than through domestic bonds and likely receives a lower borrowing rate. Sara Lee also raises funds in various currencies, matching its international cash flows and reducing exchange rate risk.
interest rate and currency swaps
Interest rate and currency swaps allow companies to exchange interest rate and currency cash flows to hedge against risks. There are two main types: interest rate swaps exchange fixed and floating rate payments, while currency swaps involve exchanging loan principals and interest payments in different currencies. Comparative advantages in borrowing costs across currencies can create opportunities for swap banks to arrange deals where all parties receive better rates and the bank earns profits through hedging the swap cash flows in money or forward markets.

Government Influence on Exchange Rates
describing the exchange rate systems, explaining how government uses direct and indirect intervention to influence exchange rates, and how government intervention in the forex markets.
Multinational Financial Management: An Overview
This document provides an overview of multinational financial management. It discusses the goal of multinational corporations to maximize shareholder wealth and conflicts against this goal. Various international business methods are described, including international trade, licensing, franchising, and establishing foreign subsidiaries. Managing cash flows and making financial decisions that consider exchange rate risk, foreign economic conditions, and political risk can help maximize the value of a multinational corporation.
interest rate parity
This document discusses interest rate parity theory. It begins by defining spot and forward rates. Spot rates are prices for immediate settlement, while forward rates refer to rates for future currency delivery adjusted for cost of carry. Interest rate parity theory states that interest rate differentials between currencies will be reflected in forward premiums or discounts. The theory prevents arbitrage opportunities by making returns equal whether investing domestically or abroad when measured in the home currency. The document provides an example of covered and uncovered interest rate parity. Covered parity involves hedging exchange rate risk while uncovered parity does not. Empirical evidence shows uncovered parity often fails while covered parity generally holds for major currencies over short time horizons.
Financial mkt instruments
This document summarizes various international financial market instruments used to raise funds, including equities, bonds, and short-term instruments. International equities, also called Euro-equities, are foreign portfolio equity investments that provide dividends but no voting rights. International bonds include foreign bonds denominated in the currency of the foreign country and Eurobonds denominated in a non-domestic currency. Short-term instruments include Euro notes, Euro commercial papers, and medium-term Euro notes that provide short-term funding over periods of 3 months to 7 years. These various instruments provide benefits to both issuers and investors in accessing international capital markets.
International monetary system
The international monetary system consists of rules and institutions that govern international currency exchange and financial transactions. It facilitates trade, capital flows, and balance of payments adjustments between countries. Major historical systems include bimetallism, the classical gold standard, the interwar period, Bretton Woods, and the current flexible system. Under Bretton Woods, the US dollar was pegged to gold and other currencies were pegged to the dollar. It collapsed in the 1970s due to US inflation. Currently most countries have floating or managed floating exchange rates. The European Union established the European Monetary System and later introduced the euro as a single currency.
Responsibility accounting and transfer pricing
This document discusses responsibility accounting and transfer pricing. It defines responsibility accounting as a system that recognizes decision centers within an organization and traces costs, revenues, assets, and liabilities by area of responsibility. Responsibility centers are specific units assigned to managers who are held accountable. The main types of responsibility centers are cost centers, profit centers, and investment centers. Transfer pricing refers to the value assigned to goods and services transferred between segments. Alternative transfer pricing schemes include minimum transfer price, market-based transfer price, and cost-based transfer price.
Multinational Financial Management: An Overview
The document provides an overview of international financial management for multinational corporations (MNCs). It discusses key concepts such as:
1) The main goal of MNCs is to maximize shareholder wealth, but agency conflicts can arise due to differing interests between managers and shareholders.
2) MNCs must decide whether to take a centralized or decentralized approach to management, balancing control and responsiveness.
3) Several theories help explain why firms expand internationally, such as comparative advantage and product life cycle theories.
4) MNCs have various methods to conduct international business, from exports to foreign direct investment through subsidiaries. Managing risks from foreign exchange, economies, and politics is important.
Swaps
A swap is an agreement between two counterparties to exchange cash flow streams, such as interest payments or currencies. The main types of swaps discussed are interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and forex swaps. An interest rate swap involves exchanging interest payments, such as a fixed rate for a floating rate. A currency swap exchanges principal and interest payments in different currencies. A forex swap is an agreement to buy one currency now and sell it back in the future at an agreed upon exchange rate.
Chapter19 International Finance Management
The document provides solutions to end-of-chapter questions and problems related to multinational cash management. It discusses key factors for effective cash management within firms and why it is more difficult for multinational corporations. It also examines the pros and cons of centralized versus decentralized cash management systems. Sample problems calculate standard deviations of cash portfolios and demonstrate how a multinational company can reduce foreign exchange transactions and costs through netting interaffiliate cash flows.
Cash management in MNC
The document provides an overview of cash management in multinational corporations (MNCs). It discusses motives for holding cash, objectives of cash management, and key factors like cash flow analysis and techniques to optimize cash flow. It also covers complications in optimizing cash flow internationally, including transfer pricing issues and related implications. The main objectives of cash management in MNCs are to minimize conversion time, concentrate funds, control payment costs, and reduce borrowing. Effective techniques include accelerating cash inflows, minimizing currency conversion costs, and managing inter-subsidiary cash transfers.

Big Data is a big deal for everyone these days and only growing in importance, especially when it comes to analytics generating actionable insights. Deloitte has identified eight significant analytics trends to watch in 2015 – including one supertrend that will impact everything else.
Core deposit interest rate modeling change
This research study aims to determine the best predictors of changes in core deposit interest rates. Specifically, it will examine whether federal funds futures rates and consumer confidence are good predictors. The study hypothesizes that both factors will significantly predict interest rate changes, and that a model using both will have the highest predictive power. A time series analysis using hierarchical linear modeling with repeated observations over time will be conducted to test these hypotheses.

The document discusses key finance concepts related to managing a business, including:
- Profit is revenue minus total costs, while profitability is a business's ability to generate profit efficiently.
- Net profit margin and return on capital are two common measures of profitability, calculated by comparing profit to sales or capital invested.
- Businesses can improve profitability by increasing prices, decreasing costs, or boosting sales volumes - though these strategies also carry risks if not implemented carefully.
- While profit and cash flow are related, a profitable business may still face short-term cash shortages due to investing profits back into the business or tying up capital in inventory, assets, or by extending credit to customers.

Commuication unit 1
The document discusses various aspects of corporate communication including defining communication, the components and models of communication processes, communicating in work teams, non-verbal communication, business meetings, and business etiquette. It provides details on how information is transmitted between individuals and organizations, the stimulus, filter, message, medium, destination, and feedback in communication, and guidelines for effective communication in meetings, teams, and business settings.
Management principles and practices
The document discusses key concepts in organizing, including:
1) The definition of an organization as the coordination of people's activities to achieve common goals through division of labor and authority hierarchies.
2) The organizing process involves identifying activities, grouping them, assigning duties, and delegating authority.
3) Important determinants of organizational structure include goals, strategy, size, technology, and the external environment.
4) Span of management refers to the number of direct reports a manager has, which is determined by factors like the work, technology, abilities of managers and subordinates, and degree of decentralization.
Non verbal communication
This document discusses non-verbal communication and body language. It defines non-verbal communication as communication through gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, posture, touch, and other bodily cues rather than spoken words. It then examines various aspects of non-verbal communication including personal appearance, posture, gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, spatial distances, touch, and artifacts. The document suggests that body language plays a significant role in oral communication and interprets messages on a subconscious level.
Minutes of the academic meeting
The minutes summarize the 1st academic meeting held on October 24, 2009 at IBMR. Key points:
1) Three committees were formed - one to prepare meeting minutes, an internal examination committee headed by Mr. Ravi Eggoni, and an attendance committee headed by Mr. Bidyanand Jha.
2) The executive director, Mr. L.B. Rao, emphasized the importance of teamwork to make IBMR a top business school.
3) It was decided that the first internal exam will be on November 17, 2009. Mr. Eggoni will display the exam timetable by October 28. The exam will include different types of questions worth a total of 50 marks over 1 hour
Executive communication completion
The document outlines an executive communication course to be completed by November 16, 2009. Unit 1 on types of communication and principles of effective communication is complete. Unit 2 on correspondence including letters for different situations is complete except for sales promotion letters and customer complaints. Future units will cover report writing, non-verbal communication, conducting meetings, and group discussions. The five units must be finished by the specified date.
Dyadic communication
Dyadic communication refers to an interaction between two individuals. It provides ideal conditions for close-range feedback as the interactions are person-to-person. Fidelity is high as reactions are mutually observable. Common forms of dyadic communication include face-to-face conversations, telephone conversations, interviews, and instruction. Face-to-face conversation is the most common, linking people socially and professionally through informal exchanges of views and ideas, with participants alternating between speaking and listening roles. Effective face-to-face conversations require analyzing one's habits, maintaining interest, flexibility in topics, and courtesy.
Barriers to communication
The document discusses various barriers to communication, including environmental barriers like noise, individual barriers like judging others, and organizational barriers where messages get distorted as they pass through hierarchies. It provides an example of how a message about viewing a comet gets distorted as it passes through different levels in an organization. Other barriers mentioned include wrong choice of communication channel, linguistic barriers between cultures, and conflicting nonverbal communication. The document recommends overcoming these barriers through encouraging feedback, creating an open climate, using multiple communication channels, active listening, careful wording, and selecting the right channel.
Business Finance Chapter 11 Risk and return
This chapter discusses predicting stock market returns and measuring risk. It introduces expected returns and standard deviation as measures of average return and risk. It then discusses how new, unexpected information can impact stock prices and returns. It also introduces beta as a measure of a stock's systematic, market risk. The chapter concludes by discussing the security market line and capital asset pricing model, which relate expected return and risk by establishing the market risk premium.
Business Finance Chapter 8
The document discusses various investment criteria for capital budgeting decisions, with a focus on net present value (NPV). It defines NPV as the difference between the present value of a project's expected future cash flows and the initial investment cost. The document also discusses other criteria like payback period, accounting rate of return, and internal rate of return. It provides examples to demonstrate how to calculate NPV and compares it to other criteria. It emphasizes that NPV is preferable because it considers the time value of money and risk, and indicates whether a project will increase firm value.
Business Finance Chapter 10
This document summarizes key lessons from analyzing historical capital market returns between 1926-2008:
1. There is typically a reward for bearing more risk, as seen by higher average returns for asset classes like stocks compared to less risky treasury bills. However, riskier assets also experience greater variability in returns.
2. Variability, or volatility, in returns is a measure of risk. Greater variability is seen in scatter plots and frequency distributions that show a wider spread of returns for riskier assets like stocks versus less variable returns for treasury bills.
3. While history shows average returns that reward risk, the future is unpredictable and past performance does not guarantee future results, as seen from periods like 2000-2002
Business Finance Chapter 9
This document discusses various topics related to making capital investment decisions, including relevant cash flows for projects, cash flows from accounting numbers, MACRS tax depreciation rules, and sensitivity analysis. It provides examples of calculating net present value from pro forma financial statements and cash flows. It emphasizes that actual future cash flows are unknown and discusses using scenario and sensitivity analysis to account for forecasting risk when evaluating projects.
Business Finance Chapter 7
This document discusses various topics related to stocks, dividends, and equity markets. It begins by explaining how stock values are related to dividends and dividend growth.

97044413 international-financial-management-11
This document discusses considerations for multinational capital budgeting. It compares capital budgeting analyses from the perspective of a parent company versus a subsidiary and identifies factors that create differences in their cash flows, such as taxes, regulations on transferring funds, and exchange rate movements. The document also outlines inputs needed for multinational capital budgeting analyses and methods for assessing risk.
97044292 international-financial-management-6
This chapter discusses how multinational corporations (MNCs) can manage economic exposure and translation exposure from exchange rate fluctuations. Economic exposure refers to the impact of exchange rates on a firm's future cash flows. An MNC can assess its economic exposure under different exchange rate scenarios and then restructure operations like changing foreign sales, suppliers, or debt levels to balance exchange-rate-sensitive cash flows. Translation exposure results from translating subsidiary financials into the parent currency for reporting. While it does not directly affect cash flows, some firms hedge it using forward contracts to offset potential impact on reported earnings. Effective management of exposure requires long-term strategies rather than short-term fixes.

63983288 foreign-exchange-management-act
The document provides an overview of India's foreign exchange management policy and foreign trade scenario over the years. It discusses the evolution from strict controls under FERA to a more liberalized management system under FEMA. Foreign exchange reserves have increased substantially from $6 billion in 1991 to over $270 billion in 2007 due to large capital inflows. Exports and imports have both increased steadily over the years, with imports generally exceeding exports, leading to a trade deficit.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Chapter 20 IFM
- 1. Multinational Financial Management Alan Shapiro 9th Edition J.Wiley & Sons Power Points by Joseph F. Greco, Ph.D. California State University, Fullerton
- 2. CHAPTER 20 Managing the Multinational Financial System
- 3. MANAGING THE MULTINATIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM I. THE VALUE OF THE MULTINATIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM Its value lies in its ability to arbitrage in the following areas: 1. Tax systems 2. Financial markets 3. Regulatory systems
- 4. TAX ARBITRAGE Tax Arbitrage is possible because we know: 1. Wide variations exist in global tax systems examples: Germany vs. Honk Kong 2. Firms want to reduce taxes paid especially the “triple- taxed” MNC move funds to low-tax jurisdiction
- 5. TAX ARBITRAGE 3. Tax Factors (triple taxation): a. Triple Taxes may be levied on 1.) corporate income 2.) personal income (includes dividends) 3.) subsidiary income b. U.S. Tax System Provision Offset: Foreign tax credit given on tax already paid abroad.
- 6. FINANCIAL MARKET ARBITRAGE Financial Market Arbitrage is possible if we 1. assume imperfect markets exist because a. Formal barriers to trade exist b. Informal barriers also exist c. Imperfections in domestic capital markets exist 2. agree parity conditions not in effect, namely a. interest rate parity b. International Fisher Effect
- 7. REGULATORY ARBITRAGE Regulatory Arbitrage: 1. Arises when subsidiary profits vary due to local regulations. 2. Examples of local regulations: a. Government price controls b. Union wage pressures: Firms may disguise true profits in order to gain better negotiations advantages
- 8. INTERCOMPANY FUND-FLOW MECHANISMS II. INTERCOMPANY FUND-FLOW MECHANISMS: the name given to the methods used to move funds from one subsidiary to another.
- 9. INTERCOMPANY FUND-FLOW MECHANISMS COMMONLY USED MECHANISMS: A. Unbundling B. Transfer Pricing C. Reinvoicing Centers D. Royalties E. Leading and Lagging F. Mechanism: Dividends
- 10. UNBUNDLING A.Unbundling Mechanism breaks up a total international transfer of funds between pairs of affiliates into separate components Example: Headquarters breaks down charges for corporate overhead (wages, rent, utilities, etc.) by affiliate
- 11. TRANSFER PRICING B.Transfer Pricing Mechanism 1. Definition: pricing internally traded goods of the firm for the purpose of moving profits to a more tax-friendly nation.
- 12. TRANSFER PRICING 2. Uses of Transfer Pricing a. Reduces taxes paid b. Reduces tariffs c. Avoids exchange controls
- 13. TRANSFER PRICING: An Example Suppose that affiliate A produces 100,000 circuit boards for $10 apiece and sells them to affiliate B. Affiliate B, in turn, sells these boards for $22 apiece to an unrelated customer. Pretax profit for the consolidated company is $1 million regardless of the price at which the goods are transferred for A to B.
- 14. TRANSFER PRICING: An Example Basic rules: Between Affiliate A and B If tax rateA > tax rateB , set the transfer price and the mark-up policy as LOW as possible. If tax rateA < tax rateB , set the transfer price and the mark-up policy as HIGH as possible.
- 15. TRANSFER PRICING: An Example Without markup policy A B A+B Revenue 1,500 2,200 2,200 CGS <1,000> <1,500> <1,000> Gross Profits 500 700 1,200 Expenses <100> <100> <200> Income b/t 400 600 1,000 Taxes (30/50) <120> <300> <420> Net Income 280 300 580
- 16. TRANSFER PRICING: An Example HIGH MARK-UP POLICY (unit price = $18) A B A+B Revenue 1,800 2,200 2,200 CGS <1,000> <1,800> <1,000> Gross Profits 800 400 1,200 Expenses <100> <100> <200> Income b/t 700 300 1,000 Taxes (30%/50%) <210> <150> <360> Net Income 490 150 640
- 17. TRANSFER PRICING: An Example In effect: Profits are shifted from a higher to a lower tax jurisdiction
- 18. REINVOICING CENTERS C. Mechanism: Reinvoicing Centers 1. Set up in low-tax nations. 2. Center takes title to all gods. 3. Center pays seller/paid by buyer all within the MNC.
- 19. REINVOICING CENTERS 4. Advantages: a. Easier control on currency exposure b. Invoice currency other than local
- 20. REINVOICING CENTERS 5. Disadvantages of Reinvoicing a. Increased communications costs b. Suspicion of tax evasion by local governments.
- 21. FEES AND ROYALTIES D. Mechanism: Royalties 1. Firms have control of payment amounts. 2. Host governments less suspicious
- 22. LEADING AND LAGGING E. Leading and Lagging 1. Highly favored by MNCs 2. Often used instead of formal debt: may be prohibited by local government 3. Less chance of local government suspicion.
- 23. DIVIDENDS! F. Mechanism: Dividends most important method used by MNCs to transfer funds to parent
