The document discusses various concepts related to global pricing strategies used by large multinational corporations (MNCs). It explains that MNCs have subsidiaries spread across the globe and transactions between related entities can be substantial, involving trade of raw materials, components, finished goods or services. It then discusses transfer pricing, which refers to the prices charged for transactions between related entities. The document provides an example of how transfer prices can be manipulated for tax purposes and outlines various factors that affect transfer pricing decisions. It also summarizes different transfer pricing methods like market-based, cost-based and negotiated prices. The document concludes with discussions on international tax arbitrage, anti-dumping regulations, price coordination strategies, and the concept of count

The following are possible examples of price discrimination, EXCEPT:
prices in export markets are lower than for identical products in the domestic market.
senior citizens pay lower fares on public transportation than younger people at the same time.
a product sells at a higher price at location A than at location B, because transportation costs are higher from the factory to A.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

TRANSFER PRICES ARE PRICES CHARGED FOR
SUCH TRANSACTIONS .
Transfer Pricing
3. An Example
If a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company
manufactures a drug in a factory that it operates
in Ireland and transfers the drug to the U.S. for
sale, a high transfer price increases divisional
income to the Irish division of the company, and
hence, increases the company’s tax liability
in Ireland.
At the same time, the high transfer price increases the cost
of product to the U.S. marketing
division, lowers U.S. income, and lowers U.S. taxes.
4. An Example
The company’s incentives with regard to the transfer
price depend on whether the marginal tax rate is
higher in the U.S. or in Ireland.
If the marginal tax rate is higher in the U.S., the company
prefers a high transfer price, whereas
if the marginal tax rate is higher in Ireland, the company
prefers a low transfer price.
The situation reverses if the drug is manufactured in
the U.S. and sold in Ireland. The general rule is that
the company wants to shift income from the high tax
jurisdiction to the low tax jurisdiction.
5. Factors affecting transfer price decisions
Market conditions in foreign country
Competition in foreign country
Reasonable profit for foreign affiliate
Income Taxes
Economic Conditions in the foreign country
Import Restrictions
Custom duties
Price Controls
Taxation in the foreign country
Exchange Control
7. Transfer Pricing Options
Market-based transfer price:
In the presence of competitive and stable external
markets for the transferred product, many firms use
the external market price as the transfer price.
ARM’S LENGTH PRICES
Negotiated transfer price:
Senior management does not specify the transfer price.
Rather, divisional managers negotiate a mutually-
agreeable price.
8. Transfer Pricing Options
Cost-based transfer price:
The transfer price is based on the production
cost of the upstream division. A cost-based
transfer price requires that the following
criteria be specified:
Actual cost or budgeted (standard) cost.
Full cost or variable cost.
The amount of markup, if any, to allow the
upstream division to earn a profit on the
transferred product.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
FOR ASSESSING TRANSFER
PRICES
BASIC ARM’S LENGTH
STANDARD (BALS)
11. BALS
There are three methods to calculate BALS prices:
Comparable /uncontrollable prices
The parent company should compare the transfer prices of its
controlled subsidiary to the selling price charged by an
independent seller to an independent buyer of similar goods or
services.
Resale prices
It determines BALS by subtracting the gross margin percentage
used by comparable independent buyers from the final third party
sale price.
Cost-plus
It fixes BALS by adding the gross profit mark up percentage
earned by comparable companies performing similar functions to
the production costs of the controlled manufacturer or seller.
12. DUMPING OCCURS WHEN IMPORTS
ARE BEING SOLD AT UNFAIR PRICES.
GLOBAL PRICING AND ANTI-
DUMPING REGULATION
13. ANTI-DUMPING
To minimize risk exposure to anti-dumping
actions, exporters might pursue different marketing
strategies
Trading Up: Move away form low value to huge value products
via product Differentiation
Service Enhancement: Adding support services to the core
product
Distribution and Communication
Establishment of communication channel with local competitors
Entering into cooperative agreement with them

17. AN UMBRELLA TERM USED
TO DESCRIBE
UNCONVENTIONAL TRADE
FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
THAT INVOLVE SOME FORM
OF NON-CASH
COMPENSATION
COUNTERTRADE
18.
19. Forms of Counter Trade
Barter-
direct exchange of goods or services having equivalent
values without a cash transaction.
It is most common in deals that involve subsistence
economies. Barter is also sometimes introduced into
existing contracts to recover debt through goods when
the debtor cannot pay cash
20. Forms of Counter Trade
Clearing Agreement
Under this form, two governments agree to import a set specified value
of goods from one another over a given period. Each
party sets up an account that is debited whenever goods
are traded. Imbalances at the end of the contract period
are cleared through payment in hard currency or goods.
One clearing agreement between Indonesia and Iran
specified that Indonesia would supply
paper, rubber, and galvanized sheets in exchange for
30,000 barrels per day of Iranian crude oil
21. Forms of Counter Trade
Switch-trading
This is a variant of clearing arrangements
where a third party is involved.
In such deals, rights to the surplus credits
are sold to specialized traders (switch
traders) at a discount. The third party uses
then the credits to buy goods from the
deficit country.
22. Forms of Counter Trade
Buyback or compensation
involves repayment in the form of goods derived from directly
from, or produced by, the technology, plant, or equipment
provided by the seller
A typical example of a buyback contract is an agreement that
was settled between PALMCO Holdings, Malaysia’s biggest
palmoil refiner, and Japan’s Kao Corporation.The contract set
up a $70 million joint venture to produce palm oil byproducts
in Malaysia. Kao was to be compensated by 60 percent of the
output that it could use as inputs for producing
detergents, cosmetics, and toiletries.
23. Forms of Counter Trade
Counterpurchase
Similar to buyback arrangements, two parallel contracts are
set up. Each party agrees to buy a specified amount of goods
from the other for hard currency over a set period. Contrary
to buybacks, the products are unrelated. Typically, the
importer will provide a shopping list from which the
exporter can choose.
In October 1992, PepsiCo set up a joint venture in Ukraine with
three local partners. Under the agreement, the partnership was to
market ships built in Ukraine. Proceeds from the ship sales were to
be used to buy soft-drink equipment, to build bottling plants, and
to open Pizza Hut restaurants in Ukraine
24. Forms of Counter Trade
Offsets
Offset is a variation of counterpurchase: the seller agrees to
offset the purchase price by sourcing from the importer’s
country or transferring technology to the other party’s
country.
There are two different types: direct and indirect offset.
With direct offset, the supplier agrees to use materials or components
sourced from the importing country.
Indirect offset refers to a contractual arrangement that involves goods
or services unrelated to the core goods to be exported.
• An offset contract between Indonesia and General Dynamics to buy
F-16 aircraft, stipulated that some of the parts would be supplied by
PT Nusantara, an Indonesian manufacturer.
25. Motives Behind Counter Trade
Gain access to new or difficult markets
Overcome exchange rate controls or lack of hard
currency
Overcome low country creditworthiness
Increase sales volumes
Generate long term customer goodwill
26. Benefits of Countertrade
Allows entry into difficult markets
Increases company sales
Overcomes currency controls & exchange problems
Increases sales volume
Overcomes credit difficulties
Allows fuller use of capacity
Allows disposal of declining products
27. Disadvantages of Countertrade
No “in house” use of goods
Time consuming and complex negotiations
Uncertainty
Increase costs
Difficult to resell goods by offsets
Brokerage costs
Getting businesses in which firm may have no
knowledge
Risky if commodities are involved
28. Pros and Cons of Countertrade
Gives firms a way to finance an export deal when other
means are unavailable.
Foreign governments may require it.
Helps countries that don’t have sufficient foreign currency reserves.
However:
May involve defective goods.
Must invest in in-house trading department
expensive and time consuming.
Most attractive to large, diverse multinational
enterprises
