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
Answer: Option (3) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct option: All choices have opportunity costs.
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
In our case, Neha is training for a triathlon, there are three activities involved in a triathlon and training hours are limited. If Neha wants to spend a hour on swimming then she have to sacrifice training for biking and running for during that time.
Therefore, every choice has an opportunity cost associated with it.

In the given case, bonds purchased with the intention of selling in the near future with an objective to benefit from short term price movements represent trading securities. The benefit would be in the form of short term capital appreciation.
