CMC CO (june 14)

CMC CO (june 14) 1. In the options contracts, I noticed that they have used forward contracts to get CHF 21,073. Normally we would use the spot rate on the transaction/settlement date however if that particular rate is not available, we need to use the forward rate ?? - actually i do not understand why they have used forward rate to get 21,073.... 2. Do some questions in hedging method do not provide the current date ? (like this question)
