These interrelated operations give rise to foreign exchange exposure and affect the overall financial performance of multinational firms. The text aims to provide an integrated treatment of multinational financial operations, whilst taking into account some real world complexities such as bid/offer spreads, transaction costs, capital rationing and market imperfections.
