What are two other ways swatch might hedge its sfus


On June 1st, 2018, SWATCH expects to ship 10 million watches from its Swiss plant to the US that it will sell through dealers on 240-day terms at $55 each. Therefore SWATCH will receive payment from these outlets on January 26th, 2019. Assuming that SWATCH needs to cover its expenses in Switzerland and thus wants to hedge its SF/US$ exposure using a forward contract with a Swiss bank, what is the minimum amount of Swiss Francs they should receive on January 26th, 2019 given the 8-month forward rate, $1.0883/SF for one US $ in terms of SF? What are two other ways SWATCH might hedge its SF/US$ exposure?
