Consider two countries with friendly trade relations, South Korea and Australia. Suppose that the real interest rate in South Korea increases relative to Australia. Show how the change in the real interest rate affects the equilibrium exchange rate by shifting one or both of the curves on the graph. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. EXCHANGE RATE (wones per dollar) Supply Demand QUANTITY (Millions of dollars) As a result of the change in the real interest rate, the South Korean won Demand Supply ? in value relative to the Australian dollar.

For each of the following transactions, show the two entries in the US balance of payments. For each entry, indicate whether it appears in CA (the current account) or KFA (the capital and financial account). Show if each entry is a debit (-) or a credit (+). For entries in KFA, choose the appropriate explanation from the following four possibilities: i) increase in US-owned assets abroad (increase in US claims on foreigners), ii) decrease in US-owned assets abroad (decrease in US claims on foreigners), iii) increase in foreign-owned assets in the US (increase in foreign claims on the US), iv) decrease in foreign-owned assets in the US (decrease in foreign claims on the US). A. A US exporter sells a car to a German importer. The importer pays with a dollar denominated check drawn on a US bank account.
Suppose that at some point the spot exchange rate is equal to 100 yen per one U.S. dollar, while the interest rate in dollars is 6% and the interest rate in yen is 1%. What is the approximate forward rate that is consistent with this situation?
Explain the relationship between the interest rate and the exchange rate in a country. Explain in terms of capital flows between countries and show what happens to a country's currency value in terms of another country's currency when interest rates differ between two countries. Explain as clearly as possible using country A and country B as your example.
Suppose that, initially, the foreign exchange market between the United States and Canada is in equilibrium. Suppose that preferences for goods made in Canada change in the United States, causing U.S. consumers to purchase fewer goods and services made in Canada. Illustrate how this change affects the market for Canadian dollars by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap Into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. Supply X Demand CANADIAN DOLLARS U.S. DOLLARS PER CANADIAN DOLLAR Demand Supply (?) This change in the market for Canadian dollars causes the U.S. dollar to disadvantage of this change in the demand for foreign currency for the United States? O U.S. inflation is lower due to lower prices on Canadian goods. O U.S. firms find it more difficult to compete with lower-priced Canadian goods. OU.S.…
Draw a correctly labeled graph of the foreign exchange market for dollars between US and Japan. Show what happens if capital flows from Japan to the US decrease due to a change in the preferences in Japanese investors.
Consider the simultaneous equilibrium in the US money market and the foreign exchange market. In this problem we will analyze the effect of a decline in the future expected exchange rate (expected (E$/€), i.e. expected dollar appreciation. The figure on the right shows the return on dollar deposits as a function of the dollar/euro exchange rate E$/€. 1) Using the 3-point drawing tool, draw the line representing the dollar return on euro deposits. Label this line 'RET-€1'. 2) Using the 3-point drawing tool, draw a new line on the same graph representing the dollar return on euro deposits as the future expected exchange rate falls, and label it 'RET-€2'. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects.
QUESTION 1 In the following Classical-type table showing labor requirements per unit of output for each of the five commodities in Zambia and Swaziland, assume that the wage rate in Zambia is 2 Kwachas (2K) per day, the wage rate in Swaziland is R4 per day, and the exchange rate is K1=R1. Good A Good B Good C Good Good E 14 day 6 days 8 days Zambia 7 days 15 days 20 days Swaziland 2 days 4 3 days 3 days days Using the above information answer the following questions: a) Is trade between the two countries likely to occur and, if so, which goods will each country be exporting or importing? Explain b) Assume that the wage rate in Zambia is 5K/ day and exchange rate (e) is 0.5(that is 1K =R0.5); determine the upper and lower to Zambia wage rate limits. c) Suppose there is an improvement in productivity (lowering the labour requirements by 1 day) in Swaziland. Is there still be a basis for trade between these 2 countries, and why?
Using the foreign exchange market (CAD/EURO), suppose price level in Canada is higher compared to the rest of the world and, at the same time, Canada becomes a more attractive tourist destination for Europeans, show and explain how the foreign exchange rate and the quantity of foreign currency will change.
Country A follows a fixed exchange rate policy that pegs its currency to the currency of country B, which is its main trading partner in a world where international capital is fully mobile. However, due to unresolved structural inefficiencies (for example, excessive bureaucracy), prices in country A tend to increase more than prices in country B. Over time, if nothing else changes, and provided that country A is committed to its current exchange rate policy, which of the following problems is not anticipated for country A? a. Economic recession. O b. Growing deficit in international trade balance. c. Worsening inflation. Od. Decreasing reserve assets. Oe. Growing external indebtedness.
