Provide your assessment as to your firm's degree of transaction exposure (as to whether the exposure is high or low). Substantiate your answer. (10 points) ii) Suppose the correlation is equal to 1.0, i.e., perfect positive correlation. Suppose the GBP appreciates to 1.76 GBPUSD. What is the new NTE? What is the change in NTE? (8 points) iii) Suppose the correlation is equal to -1.0, i.e., perfect negative correlation. Suppose the GBP appreciates to 1.76 GBPUSD. What is the new NTE?
