Explanation / Answer

IF COMPANY USES FORWARD HEDGE, IT WILL ENTER TODAY AT FORWARD RATE INTO CONTRACT AND PROMISES TO PAY AFTER 30 DAYS

AMOUNT RECEIVED = C$1000000 X 0.81 = $810000 IN 30 DAYS

SO YOU WILL PAY COUNTERPARTY C$1000000 AND IN RETURN RECEIVE $810000 IN 30 DAYS

SO CONTRACT IS ENTERED TODAY BUT AMOUNT WILL BE RECEIVED IN 30 DAYS.

"NONE OF THE OPTIONS LISTED" IS CORRECT ANSWER
