Consider a hypothetical open economy. The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget. Real Interest Rate National Saving Domestic Investment Net Capital Outflow (Percent) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) 7 60 25 -10 6 55 30 -5 5 50 35 0 4 45 40 5 3 40 45 10 2 35 50 15 Given the information in the preceding table, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the demand for loanable funds. Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the supply of loanable funds. Finally, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium in this market. On the following graph, plot the relationship between the real…
A10 Suppose that P = 100, P* = 200, e = 0.75 where P is the domestic price level, P* is the foreign price level and e is the nominal exchange rate (i.e. number of domestic currency units required to buy 1 unit of foreign currency).a) Find the real exchange rate.b) If the domestic price level increases, what will be the effect on the real exchange rate, imports and exports?

9. Consider savings-investment diagrams assuming that there are two countries in the world, A and B. Initially, both countries are identical, i.e., they have the same supply of savings and demand for investment. Therefore, even as open economies, they both have balanced current accounts, i.e., neither has a deficit or surplus. Now assume that in country A, the government increases the budget deficit, shifting the supply of savings to the left. If all other curves (A s investment demand, B s savings supply, B s investment demand) stay the same, what will the effect of the increase in A's budget deficit? a. Country B will have a CA surplus. b. Country A will have a KFA deficit. c. Investment in country B will increase. d. The world real interest rate will fall.

4. Pricing foreign goods The exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another currency. An exchange rate specifies how many units of one country's currency are needed to buy one unit of another country's currency. Suppose the following table forecasts exchange rate data for March 16, 2018, in terms of U.S. dollars per unit of foreign currency. Use the information in the table to answer the questions that follow. Cost of One Unit of Foreign Currency Foreign Currency (Dollars) Lithuanian litas (LTL) 0.3666 Canadian dollar (CAD) 0.8493 Euro (EUR) 1.3288 Mexican peso (MXN) 0.0889 United Kingdom pound (GBP) 1.8965 Suppose that on March 16, 2018, an antique woven rug handmade in Lithuania is priced at LTL 2,750. The approximate U.S. dollar price of the rug would be If the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar-Lithuanian litas rises from $0.3666 to $0.4216 per Lithuanian litas, the U.S. dollar v in value, or relative to the Lithuanian litas. 925 PM search N O 33°F 12/5/2021 21 hp…
