8. Problems and Applications Q8 A case study in the chapter analyzed purchasing-power parity for several countries using the price of Big Macs. Here are data for a few more countries: For each country, select the predicted exchange rate of the local currency per U.S. dollar. (Hint: Recall that the U.S. price of a Big Mac was $4.93.)

1.) Draw two graphs representing the foreign exchange market. Graph 1.1 that shows an official (fixed) exchange rate (label as eo) that is below the equilibrium exchange rate (label as ee) and Graph 1.2 that shows an official exchange rate that is above the equilibrium exchange rate. For both graphs, a.) indicate if there is a shortage or a surplus. b.) explain how the Central Bank will intervene using its international reserves to maintain the fixed exchange rate; c.) describe how this intervention will be recorded in the BOP
In our pretend world there are two countries - Chile and Switzerland - that are engaged in trade. The firm Switzerland Chocolates Express sells Boxes of chocolate (a good) in Chile.

We look at the trade of gas between Russia and the EU and assumes that both areas' supply curves slope upwards and their demand curves slope downwards in the diagram with quantity on the horizontal axis and price on the vertical axis. To make the situation simple, we also initially assume that the exchange rate is constant, and it is 1 (so that we do not need to differentiate between the prices i Russia and the EU). In the autarky equilibria, prices are higher in the EU than in Russia. Unless otherwise specified, there are no trading costs, and the capacity of the pipelines is not binding (ie with free trade the prices are basically the same in the EU and Russia). (a) Draw and show the supply of export goods and the demand for import goods in relation to the two areas' supply and demand curves (three islands next to each other). (b) What happens (to welfare in the two countries and consumer surplus/producer surplus) if the EU stops importing Russian gas? (c) Without Nord Stream 1/2 in…
If a "Big Mac costs $4.00 in the United States and 200 yen in Japan, then the implied "purchasing-power-parity" exchange rate using the "Big Mac" is __________. If the actual exchange rate in the market is 120 yen = $1, then an economist would say that the actual Japanese yen is __________ in comparison with its "purchasing-power-parity" rate.
Ab 44 Economics The following graph shows the market for euros, which is initially in equilibrium. Suppose an economic expansion in the United States leads to an increase in the incomes of American households, causing imports from Europe to rise. On the graph, illustrate the effect of an economic expansion on the market for euros by shifting the appropriate curve or curves.

Draw and carefully label the Euro-U.S. dollar foreign exchange graph. You must use the Euro/US $ exchange rate as your price variable. Assume we are currently in market equilibrium. Illustrate using the graph how the equilibrium euro/dollar foreign exchange rate would be affected by the following events, holding all else constant. Use a different graph for each part. Explain in words why the equilibrium exchange rate changed. An unexpected increase in the US inflation rate relative to the Euro Area.
