Consider two economies, Canada and the U.S. Canada is a small open economy and exchange rate is quoted as the number of U.S. $ per C$, i.e., EUS$/C$. a) Suppose at the current exchange rate, Canada has a balance of payments deficit. If Canada adopts a flexible exchange rate, what happens to the US$/C$ exchange rate? Explain in words with the aid of a supply-demand diagram for C$ (Be sure to identity what happens before and after the adjustment on your diagram) b) After the adjustment mentioned in part (a), the foreign exchange market is in equilibrium. Suppose there is a change in the consumption preference such that households in both Canada and the U.S. want to consume more American goods. What happens to the US$/C$ exchange rate? What happens to Canada's BOP? Explain with the aid of another supplydemand diagram for C$, and be sure to discuss the adjustment in the BOP (i.e., what happens to different components of the BOP) 2:16 pm
