Aug 2009 Current Cost2000*80*45 = Rs.72,00,000 Dec USD contract is at Rs.45.50. so price percontract is 1000*45.50 = 45,500Contracts required to hedge= (2000*80)/1000 =160. Thus buy 160 contracts for 45,500*160 =Rs.72,80,000
1st Dec 2009 Spot Rate is Rs.47.25. Buy USD1,60,000 to make payment forimport.Cost 1,60,000*47.25 =Rs.75,60,000
