4. Analyzing the effects of a trade deficit Suppose the U.S. government has just hired you to analyze the following scenario. Assume the U.S. automobile industry grows concerned about foreign manufacturers exporting fuel-efficient vehicles to the United States, a practice that harms domestic producers. Industry experts claim that implementing a quota on imports would reduce the size of the trade deficit. Complete the following exercise in order to help you analyze this claim. The following graph shows the demand and supply of U.S. dollars in a model of the foreign-currency exchange market. Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both to show what would happen if the government decided to implement the quota. REAL EXCHANGE RATE (Units of foreign currency per dollar) Supply QUANTITY OF DOLLARS Given this change, the dollar appreciates Change due to a quota D2 D1 Demand Supply Fill in the following table with the effect of a quota on the following items: Supply of Loanable Funds Real…

How can a U.S. investor profit from uncovered interest arbitrage? O Purchase pounds at $2.03 in New York to buy U.K. Treasury bills in London, thus earning 4% per year. O Purchase pounds at $2.03 in New York to buy U.K. Treasury bills in London, thus earning 3% per year. O Purchase pounds at $2.03 in New York and sell them in the U.K., thus earning 4%.

The ECU as a basket of currencies. What is the percentage/weight of the ECU's total value accounted by the Spanish peseta? Refer to Exhibit 3.4 in the text. Would you get a different result if you valued the ECU in Japanese yen instead of the U.S. dollar? Would you expect this weight to change if the ECU depreciates by 10 percent against the U.S. dollar?

8. Why exchange rates matter Suppose that you go on vacation to Canada every summer. Last year, the hotel room where you stayed cost C$100 per night, and it costs the same this year. The exchange rate was 1.04 US$/C$ last year, and it is 0.95 US$/C$ this year. This means you will pay per night this year than you paid last year. The U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar exchange rate is essentially the price of a Canadian dollar in terms of U.S. dollars. When this price falls, the Canadian dollar is said to depreciate against the U.S. dollar. Thus, from your analysis, you can conclude that when the Canadian dollar depreciates against the U.S. dollar, Canadian goods and services become expensive for Americans. DeutschAuto is a German automaker that pays most of its production costs in euros. Suppose that in 2007, DeutschAuto's cost of producing a car was €23,000 and that the company sold a car in the United States for $36,000. Further, suppose that the dollar-euro exchange rate rose from 1.35$/ €…

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…
