    Company is UK based
    Receipt of $500,000 in 4 month

    Futures

    $/£ = 1.2 – 1.6 (indirect code)
    £/$ = 0.633-0.625 (direct code)

    Contract size = $100,000
    Contract size = $62,500

    Options
    Ex price 1.6 Ex price 1.5

    SOLUTION
    FUTURES

    Hedge strategy (if contract size is in foreign currency)
    Now company is facing downside risk that dollars may depreciate against pounds in 4-month time. And contract size is given in dollars so we will “sell futures contract now”

    Hedge strategy (if contract size is given in local currency)
    Now company is facing downside risk that dollars may depreciate against pounds in 4-month time. And contract size is given in local currency so we will “buy future contact now “
