The variable costs incurred at a site are calculated in equation (3.6). Variable costs include costs for raw materials and utilities (modeled as raw materials), personnel costs and other variable costs. Each raw material is assumed to be supplied from a single supplier at each site. Since country of origin and currency denomination are often not identical, the invoicing currency is specified for each raw material.

Using the Scenario Manager a broad range of analyses can be performed to assess the consequences of different market, cost or currency developments. To illustrate the insights that can be gained by performing these analyses, the example of an appreciation of the US compared to the Euro is chosen. As can be seen in the currency exposure chart in Figure 50, the value chain s business is dominated by home-currency denominated trans-... 

Depending on the reference yield curve selected and its currency denomination, the ASW spread changes. Eigure 1.3 shows the ASW spread for different reference yield curves for TKAAV.

For those who prefer the pleasure of a real book to reading from a screen (I still do ), there are still some soft cover copies of the second edition of States of Consciousness available at 12.95 (plus sales tax for California residents) and 3 for shipping within the US, 10 for air shipping outside the US. Checks or money orders must be denominated in US currency. Other books and tapes of mine are also available, and 1 will bring a catalog, write to PPI, Box 8385, Berkeley CA 94707-8385. 

Due to the various economic aspects that have to be captured by the optimization model, a large number of indices, parameters and decision variables is required. The notation used is contained in Table 5 (indices), Table 6 (parameters), Table 7 (calculated parameters) and Table 8 (decision variables). Additionally, the link of major parameters and decision variables to the production network and the cost structure underlying the model are visualized in Figures 20 to 23. To simplify the notation some parameters are defined at a higher aggregation level (e.g., exchange rates per currency or transport costs at source-destination country level) and the applicable link is indicated in brackets after the index (e.g., exrateq(rs)t indicates the exchange rate for the currency raw material r is denominated in at site s). 

Equation (3.4) calculates the transportation costs to deliver products from the production site to the market. Transport costs are assumed to be denominated in the home currency of the company and hence converted into the currency of the destination country for allocation purposes.

Many metabolites, especially those involved in glycolysis (Sec. 10.6) and the Krebs cycle (Sec. 10.7), have high-energy phosphate-ester bonds. Compared with these metabolites, ATP is an intermediate with respect to the amount of energy stored in its phosphate anhydride bonds. This makes sense, because a denomination of currency would not be practical if it needed to be changed (the energy content split up into smaller packets) each time it was used. 

The Credit Support Annexe (CSA) side agreement to the standard ISDA derivatives agreement often allows counterparties to a derivative to post collateral in the form of cash in a different denomination to the currency of the trade. As a result, banks now construct multicurrency yield curves to assist them with the funding decision when paying or receiving collateral. 

The cash flows of a fixed-income security can be denominated in any currency. For bonds issued by countries within the European Union, the issuer typically makes both coupon payments and maturity value payments in euros. However, there is nothing that prohibits the issuer from making payments in other currencies. The bond s indenture can specify that the issuer may make payments in some other specified currency. There are some issues whose coupon payments are in one currency and whose maturity value is in another currency. An issue with this feature is called a dual-currency issue. 

If a European investor buys a bond whose cash flows are denominated in a currency other than euros, they are exposed to an additional risk. Namely,... 

Since the establishment of European Monetary Union on 1 January 1999, the word Eurobond has taken on an additional meaning— that of a euro-denominated security. In this chapter we generally use Eurobond both for issues that are in Eurobond format, and that are euro-denominated. There are, of course, markets for noneuro denominated corporate issues, chiefly in dollars and sterling. Noncorporate borrowers, such as sovereigns, supranationals, and agencies, are also big issuers of Eurobonds in all the major currencies. 

Exhibit 6.14 shows the breakdown of the two broad categories, and emphasizes the shrinkage of the classic Eurodollar sector. This mirrors the relative decline of the private client part of the investor base. Private clients have traditionally been big buyers of Eurodollar bonds because of the popularity of the currency and the bearer nature of the obligations. The European tranches of dollar-denominated global bonds sold by US entities—who account for most of the origination in this regard— do not carry the same tax advantages. 

Floating-rate notes (FRNs) are Eurobonds that have their coupon levels reset periodically, with reference to a money market rate. For dollar-denominated assets, this is LIBOR (the London Inter-bank Offer Rate) as determined by a group of 16 reference banks. The mechanism is run by the British Bankers Association (BBA). The BBA also supervises LIBOR fixings in a number of other currencies. For euros, the most common reference rate is EURIBOR, as determined by a reference group of around 50 banks chosen by European Banking Federation. In both cases, most issues are priced off of the three-month rate, although one-month and six-month rates are also used. 

Unfortunately, without a central clearing house to monitor and record all transactions, it is difficult to obtain reliable statistics for the OTC interest rate options market. However, the BIS conducts regular surveys of the markets and publishes a breakdown of notional amounts outstanding by currency (but not by country) of all interest rate derivatives (including swaps, ERAs, futures, as well as options) across all markets (OTC as well as exchange-traded). A summary of this is shown in Exhibit 17.16, from which it can be seen that the size of the euro-denominated market now virtually matches that of the US dollar, signalling the increasing importance of the European interest rate derivatives market.
