C

Answer to Question 2

The spot exchange rate is simply the price of one currency stated in terms of another with immediate delivery. Another
type of transaction carried out in the foreign exchange markets is known as a forward exchange rate, which is an
exchange rate agreed upon today but which calls for delivery of currency at the agreed-upon rate at some future date.
The actual payment of one currency in exchange for the other takes place on a future date called the delivery date, and
the agreement that captures the terms of both the rate and delivery is called a futures contract or forward exchange
contract.
