    Explanation:

    A forward contact is an agreement between two parties which make an obligation on buyer to purchase something at a decided rate in future and on seller to sale.

    Forward rate means that means that INR will be converted to USD at rate of INR320 / USD in future, whatever the spot exchange rate will be at that time.

    Amount to be received by US MNC in 1 year = INR 1,000,000

    Current Spot rate = INR 75 per USD

    One year forward rate = INR 320 per USD

    Dollar amount the firm will receive using Forward Hedge = Amount to be received / One year forward rate = INR 1,000,000 / INR 320 per USD = 3,125 USD
