I would think an easy one might be: Let's say your company will pioneer a new facility in Russia in 1 year (hypothtical). You know the construction cost will be $500 million Rubbles. Assuming Russian currency is on a float, you don't know how many dollars that will be in the future, so you decide to use a forward contract to lock in an exchange price. Separately, you may decide to purchase a one year option on Rub. exchange rate that allows you to exchange at a certain rate but does not obligate you to do so.
