Solution

The exporter is receiving USD 10 million in three months. If the exporter decides not to hedge its exchange rate risk by taking out a forward cover, the amount received will be subject to the spot rate at that time. In this case, the spot rate in three months is 0.7150 AUD/USD.

To calculate the AUD amount received, we divide the USD amount by the spot rate:

USD 10,000,000 / 0.7150 AUD/USD = AUD 13,986,014

So, the AUD amount to be received in three months is AUD 13,986,014.
