Supplementary notes

* Costs in local currency units are converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity (ppp) exchange rates. A ppp exchange rate is the number of units of a country's currency required to buy the same amounts of goods and services in the domestic market as U.S. dollar would buy in the United States. An international dollar is, therefore, a hypothetical currency that is used as a means of translating and comparing costs from one country to the other using a common reference point, the US dollar.
