From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.
Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.
Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).

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
