How Amazon Hedges Its Forex Risk

Pages: 8 (2549 words) Sources: 5 Document Type:Essay Document #:96070504

...Japan Abstract
Amazon operates in 58 countries, and while its international operations tend to be offsetting in terms of costs and revenues, there still foreign currency profits that end up being translated back to Amazon’s financial statements. This creates translational risk for the company. The operating offsets mean that Amazon doesn’t need to utilize hedging strategies, but tactics like offsetting costs and revenues, and diversification of international operations, help Amazon reduce the translational risk that it faces. This paper will examine what foreign currency exchange rate risks Amazon faces, and what tactics it undertakes to mitigate these risks on its income statement and balance sheet.
Introduction
Amazon has online retail operations in 58 countries around the world, and these are typically priced in local currency. This has implications for the company’s strategies with respect to foreign exchange risk, and foreign exchange cash flows. The use of local pricing is aided, however,……

As Mack (2015) notes, “researchers in Japan have found that human aging may be able to be delayed or even reversed, at least at the most basic level of human … human cell lines.” Previous scientists had theorized that aging was the result of a mutation in the DNA structure.
