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

Explanation:
The Federal Reserve is the body responsible for conducting monetary policy in the US. Monetary policy basically consists of two actions. The increase / decrease in the money supply in the economy and the increase / decrease in the interest rate. These actions may happen together, but they are technically independent.
When the Federal Reserve increases the supply of money in circulation, more money is circulated through loans and personal spending. This is considered a policy of stimulating the economy and can be done independently of interest rate changes, although the reduction of interest is also a stimulus monetary policy that can be done in conjunction with the increase in the money supply.
