KS) Boeing just signed a contract to sell a Boeing Dreamliner aircraft to Alitalia Airlines. Alitalia will be billed €50 million which is payable in one year. The current spot exchange rate is $1.1700/€ and the one-year forward rate is $1.2000€. The annual interest rate is 5.0% in the U.S. and 4.0% in Italy. Boeing is concerned with the volatile exchange rate between the dollar and the euro and would like to hedge exchange exposure.
