A U.S. based MNC will receive 200,000 francs in 6 months. It could obtain a forward contract to sell the francs in 6 months. The 6-month forward rate is $.71, the same rate as currency future contracts on francs. If the MNC sells francs 6 months forward, it can estimate the amount of dollars to be received in 6 months:
Cash inflow in $ = Receivables x Forward rate
= 200,000 francs x $.71
= $142,000
