Structure Of The Chapter

The chapter begins with a brief description of the international financial system and then describes the methods of pricing. In order to mark up prices, not only has the material and labour to be considered, important as these are, but also the cost of capital. The chapter, therefore, goes into detail on the issues of funds, both internal and external. An increasing feature of global marketing is the futures market. So the chapter concludes with a detailed analysis of options, hedges and futures.
