I have a question in regards to June 2013 . Here the net payment is $2.4m from kenduri. The spot is 1.5398 – 1.5962 $/f. So bound is the base currency. if we pay $2.4 , are we not supposed to use $1.5398 on forward contract. On exam answer the rate used in 1.5962. could you please provide explanation.
You should be using the 3 month forward rates – 1.5996 to 1.6037 (because the transaction is in 3 months time). The rate the examiner has used for the forward contract in his answer is 1.5996 (not 1.5962) which is the correct rate.
