The answer to Box and co is is available but not on the video lectures which would have been useful.
However my question is how come 47616 is stated as gain! Box have to
Pay more at the reporting date as the exchange rate is 1.05. And no forward contract too. Do we assume forward contract ?Thanks.

Hi,
There is a gain on the forward as with the forward contract we will be paying less using the $1.1 rate as opposed to the $1.05 rate on the open market. You correctly state that we are paying more to by the PPE at the open market rate, so effectively we are making a loss on the open market and therefore there is a gain on the hedging instrument.
Thanks
