Consider the Mundell-Fleming short-run model of a small open economy under fixed exchange rates described by the following equations (1) through (7). Assume that there are free capital flows and that interest rate parity holds so that r = r*where r = 5 is the world interest rate. (1) C = 400+0.8 (Y-T); (2) I=850-60r"; (3) G=1200; (4) T=1000+ 0.25 Y; (5) NX = 600-200e; (6) Y=C+I+G+NX; (7) (M/P)=0.5Y -50r. Equation (6) is the goods market equilibrium condition (IS* equation), while equation (7) is the LM equation. The fixed domestic price level is P = 2 while the foreign price level is P=1. In equation (5), e is the nominal exchange rate. Suppose that the Central Bank decides to fix the nominal exchange rate at efix= 3. Then the domestic money supply M and the equilibrium output level Y* must be such that a) M =5000; Y* - 5500. b) M=6250; Y = 6750 c) M-2875: Y-3375 Od) Y* stays constant as the Central Bank adjusts the money supply to stabilize output.

Assume that a small open economy with a fixed exchange rate is given by: LM curve is given by: Y = 700 r – 250 + 2(M/P) IS curve is given by: Y = 400 + 3G – 2T + 3NX – 300 r Function for the net exports is: NX = 550 – 100 e (where e is the exchange rate) Price level is fixed at 1 World interest rate is r* = 2 Exchange rate is initially = 3 If M = 200, G = 350, and T = 200, solve for: a. The equilibrium short-run value of Y = b. The equilibrium short-run value of NX =
Using the FOREX exchange rate market, applied to home country of Canada, (a) analyze the situation in which a government imposes a fixed exchange rate. Also, where the capital tends to move? Consider each of situations: the government imposes a fixed exchange rate which is undervalued; the government imposes a fixed exchange rate which is overvalued. (b) determine what that government should do in order to solve the capital movement as you found above in the situation with undervalued currency. Explain with words + graphs.
This is not a writing assignment, this is a multiple-choice question Which of the below statements about international exchange rates and PPPs (Purchasing Power Parity) would you consider to be INCORRECT? Group of answer choices The PPP only focuses on internationally tradable items, while the exchange rate has a broader focus and includes both internationally tradable and items that are not internationally tradable. Exchange rates include only the values of internationally tradable items, while the PPP includes both internationally tradable items as well as those which are not internationally tradable items but are used by people in different countries. The rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another is the exchange rate. If $25 can purchase a bundle of goods in the U.S. and if a comparable bundle of goods will cost 750 rubles in Russia, then the PPP between the U.S. dollar and the Russian ruble would be $25=750 Russian rubles.
Trade Restriction Effects on Exchange Rates Assume that the Japanese government relaxes its controls on imports by Japanese companies. Other things being equal, how should this affect the (a) U.S. demand for Japanese yen, (b) supply of yen for sale, and (c) equilibrium value of the yen?
U S foreign exchange intervention is sometimes done by an Excha U.S. foreign exchange intervention is sometimes done by an Exchange Stabilization Fund, or ESF (a branch of the Treasury Department), which manages a portfolio of U.S. government and foreign currency bonds. An ESF intervention to support the yen, for example, would take the form of a portfolio shift out of dollar and into yen assets. Show that ESF interventions are automatically sterilized and thus do not alter money supplies. How do ESF operations affect the foreign exchange risk premium? U S foreign exchange intervention is sometimes done by an Excha
At the exchange rates of EUR/USD = 1.13757, EUR/GBP = .84029 and GBP/USD= 1.35235 would a triangular arbitrage opportunity be feasible between the U.S., Greece, and Great Britian? If so, how should it be conducted to make a profit?
Assume that the expected future exchange rate is unchanged and that the central bank holds the real money supply fixed. Draw an IS-LM-IP diagram to show the effect of the drop in consumer confidence. Label all axes and curves and mark all the values and equilibrium points appropriately.
Suppose that there are only two countries in the world: Localia (which is us), that uses the "Localios" (LCL) as its currency, and Nearovia (our trading partner), which uses “Nearos" (NER) as its currency. For questions 1-3, assume that this exchange rate between the NER and the LCL is flexible. Now consider the Supply & Demand market for domestic Localios. Suppose also that the Central Bank cuts interest rates at home in Localia. 1. What would we expect to happen to the exchange rate for LCL as a result of this rate cut? Explain using the Supply and Demand Figure for LCL and explain why any movements of any of the curves occur. 2. Would this create a recessionary gap, inflationary gap, or neither in Localia? Explain using your AD-AS Figure for Localia. 3. Similarly, what is the effect of the interest rate cut in Localia on the exchange rate for Nearos and on short-term GDP in Nearovia? Explain using both the Supply and Demands figure for NER and the AD-AS figure for Nearovia.
If the exchange was 120 Japanese Yen = 1 US dollar two months ago and now the exchange rate is 135 Japanese = 1 US dollar, then a) the US dollar has depreciated and the Japanese Yen has appreciated b) both currencies have appreciated c) both currencies have depreciated d) None of the choices are correct e) the US dollar has appreciated and the Japanese Yen has depreciated

A company manufacturers a product in the United States and sells it in England. The unit cost of manu-facturing is $50. The current exchange rate (dollars per pound) is 1.51. The demand function, which indicateshow many units the company can sell in England as afunction of price (in pounds) is of the power type, withconstant 27556759 and exponent 22.4.a. Develop a model for the company’s profit (indollars) as a function of the price it charges (in pounds). Then use a data table to find the profit-maximizing price to the nearest pound. b. If the exchange rate varies from its current value, doesthe profit-maximizing price increase or decrease?Does the maximum profit increase or decrease?
Let's suppose the current exchange for Forint (Hungary currency) vs. Kuna (Croatia currency) is: 55.75 Forint/Kuna. Suppose the interest rate on Hungary's government securities with one-year maturity is 3%, and that of Croatia is 2%. According to the International Fisher Effect model, Forint will _____ against the other currency.
