Ask the Tutor ACCA FM
forward market hedging & money market hedging
You must watch the free lectures on foreign exchange risk management - both methods are explained in great detail in the lectures (with examples) and I cannot effectively type out the whole lecture here!
(and I cannot understand why you are attempting questions for which you have no answer!)
this is my assignment from my college.
I am sorry, but we do not provide answers for assignments!
However if you watch the free lectures on this you should find it easy :-)
