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.
