VAR Measures the potential maximum 1-day loss on the value of
positions of an MNC that is exposed to exchange rate movements.
Basically, it goes to compute how much is the maximum possible
loss of MNC going to be if exchange rates move against the firm
position.
In Calculating the Value at Risk (VAR), what is the implication
of underestimating volatility of exchange rates? ( Please respond
in a complete and explanatory way ) Answer should have 100 words

One of the financial risk is currency risk. How can we hedge the
currency risk
associated with the proposed trade? While you should show
familiarity with the
theoretical approach to such hedging, you should primarily focus
on practical
implementation of the strategy (what financial instruments and
why, where can we
access such instruments, what back office organizational systems
do we need for
financial instrument hedging, when should we hedge and why).

Part A Calculate the maximum theoretical ATP
yields for the complete oxidation of
1) one lactate
2) one glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
Remember that any intermediate generated (like a pyruvate from
lactate oxidation) can then go through it's normal pathway(s)
(e.g., pyruvate decarboxylation).
