I do not know where you are quoting your figures from. They need $2.4M in 3 months time but because they are buying $'s now the need fewer $'s now because they will be depositing them for 3 months. Do not refer to present values and forward values here. It may be the same arithmetic but it is not an academic exercise but a real life way of dealing with the interest involved when borrowing and then depositing. Have you watched my free lectures on money-market hedging? I explain it in detail with examples.
