Forward rate

AAshley5y ago
Is it true that we can calculate Forward rate by: Forward rate = Receipt or Payment / Money Market Hedge It is because the Money Market Hedge is totally equivalent to the Forward rate?

Using forward rates is equivalent to using a money market hedge. However it is certainly not calculated using the expression you have typed (a money market hedge does not result in a number). Forward rates are calculated using the interest rate parity formula provided in the exam, as I explain in my free lectures on this.
