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

vredina [299]

Answer:

My best advice for the spouse would be to designate herself as the new account owner, and since she is 62, she can start taking regular distributions from it. Any distributions that she takes will be taxed as ordinary income (the same rule would have applied to the late husband).

Explanation:

If she had her own IRA account (which is doubtful since she doesn't work), she could also roll over her late spouse's balance into her own account.

The wife's third option would be to treat herself as a beneficiary, not the owner or spouse, but that would only complicate things and result in higher costs.
