In the mark scheme, it mentioned this when calculating the forward rate:
” since it is a receipt, the 1.1559 rate will be used”
My question is, what rate would we have chosen if it was a payment? I always thought if the forward rate is given in this range, we always choose the first one. Am I right?!

You use exactly the same ‘rule’ as you use when conversion is at the current spot rate.
I explain what rates to use in the first of my free lectures on foreign exchange risk management, and I do suggest that you watch them 🙂
