The Size of Cash Balances
� The optimal size of the firm’s cash balances
depend upon:
�The cost of keeping “too much” cash on hand. �i.e. the opportunity costs of holding cash
�The cost of not keeping enough cash on hand.�i.e. the trading costs associated with having too little cash
�The variability of cash flows.

Choice of Currency
� By maintaining cash balances in a particular
currency, the MNC is essentially speculating (or
hedging?) in that currency.
![Page 6: Management INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Chapter ... · INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT EUN / RESNICK Second Edition Multinational Cash Chapter Eighteen 18 Management](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012308/5b4876a77f8b9a501f8d7fa6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Where Cash Balances are Located.
� Should the firm have centralized cash
management in the home country?
� Or should the firm let each affiliate handle it
locally?
� Where are borrowing costs lowest and investment
returns highest?

Cash Management Systems in Practice
� Multilateral Netting
� Is an efficient and cost-effective mechanism for settling
interaffiliate foreign exchange transactions.
� Not all countries allow MNCs to net payments
� By limiting netting, more unnecessary foreign exchange
transactions flow through the local banking system.

Consider a U.S. MNC with three subsidiaries and the
following foreign exchange transactions:
$10 $35 $40$30
$20
$25 $60
$40
$10
$30
$20$30

Transfer Pricing & Related Issues
� The Transfer Price is the price that for accounting
purposes, is assigned to goods and services
flowing from one division of a firm to another
division.
� Controversial for a domestic firm
� Consider the example of a firm that has one division
that mills lumber and another that makes furniture. The
transfer price of the lumber is a political as well as
economic and accounting issue.

Transfer Pricing & Related Issues
� For MNC, there exists the added complications of:
�Differences in tax rates.
�Import duties and quotas.
�Exchange rate restrictions on the part of the
host country.

Blocked Funds
� A form of political risk is the risk that the foreign
government may impose exchange restrictions on
its own currency.
� Several methods exist for moving blocked funds:
�Transfer pricing
�Unbundling services
�Parallel and back-to-back loans
�Swaps
![Page 40: Management INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Chapter ... · INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT EUN / RESNICK Second Edition Multinational Cash Chapter Eighteen 18 Management](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012308/5b4876a77f8b9a501f8d7fa6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Blocked Funds
� Additional strategies for unblocking funds:
�Export creation
�Direct negotiation
�Using the blocked funds to buy goods and services for the
MNC.
�For example, use the National Airlines of the host country for
travel of executives of the MNC, and pay for the tickets with the
blocked funds.
�Transfer local expatriates from home payroll to the local
subsidiaries payroll.
