Problem:
Today spot rate £ 1 = US $ 2
3-month forward rate £ 1 = US $ 2.10
After 3-month spot rate £ 1 = US $ 2.20
US importer needs £ 1million payment 3-months later, and he sign a forward contract today
a. How much (US$) does the importer need to pay after 3 months?
b. How much is the cost of hedge?
c. Better sign a forward contract today or not sign a forward contract today? Why?
