Please do correct me if I wrote something wrong related to the money market hedge. I've watched your lecture & took every calculation steps from there!
Steps in receivable:
1) Borrow Foreign Currency Now
2) Convert to Local Currency at spot rate
3) Deposit Local Currency
In 3-months time:
we receive $5m from customer --- repay $5m borrowing (in step 1)
deposit € matures --- we receive deposit + interest
Steps in payment:
1) Deposit Foreign Currency
2) Convert to Local Currency at spot rate
3) Borrow Foreign Currency Now
Although we have to borrow $5m Foreign Currency in order to convert them at spot rate - it is just that in case of payment we have to do calculation backward.
In 3-months time:
we pay $5m to supplier --- repay $5m borrowing (in step 3)
deposit $ matures --- we pay $5m to supplier
Also, Is that correct that we can calculate Forward rate like:
Forward rate = Receipt or Payment $ / Money Market Hedge $
Ask the Tutor ACCA FM

Yes, that is correct :-)
