The exchange rate at which the transaction is done is called the spot exchange rate. Thus, the statement I is correct. Statement II: The date of maturity of a forward contract is more than two business days in the future. Explanation: A forward contract is a customized contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract or simply a forward is a non-standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified future time at a price agreed on at the time of conclusion of the contract, making it a type of derivative instrument. The date of maturity of a forward contract is more than two business days in the future. Thus, statement II is correct. Option 1 is the correct answer.
