Answer:

alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure

Explanation:

Alitalia can construct the money market hedge as follows

1. borrow Euro whose present value is equal to the amount to be paid.

2. convert it to foreign currency at the current spot rate.

3. place it in a deposit

4. make the payment when the deposit reaches maturity

PV of payment = 10000000/1.05

                         = 9523809.525

converting in to Euro at the spot rate we get 6802721.09 Euros

so Alitalia has to borrow the above amount and convert it and invest it at 5%.

now the payable amount from the loan is  6802721.09(1+0.03) = 7006802.72 Euros

Hence Alitalia has effective managed to locl in a forward rate of 1.427$/euros (10000000/7006802.72)$/euros

Therefore, alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure

Michael receives a monthly salary of $2500 plus a commission of 2% of total orders written. If his orders for the month were $34
Bumek [7]

Answer:

$3,180

Explanation:

Monthly salary would be the base salary = $2500

Since he would earn 2% of all orders, calculate the dollar value of the commission when total orders amount to $34000;

Commission = 2% *34000 = $680

His total pay would be calculated by adding the base salary to the commission amount;

Total pay = base salary + commission

Total pay = $2500 + $680

Total pay = $3,180

Answer:

The quantities of those two goods are mentioned on both the axes. If the price of both the products is doubled. The consumer will be able to afford half the quantity than what he was consuming earlier.
