What you have written is correct.
But why not watch my free lectures? They are a complete free course for Paper F9 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

Since the quote is dinars per $, then country X (using $’s) is the base country and country Y (using dinars) is the other country.
So the forward rate is 1.500 x 1.02/1.05
Again, I suggest that you watch the free lectures!
