For each prompt below, carefully and thoroughly follow the directions. For the graphs, be certain to accurately label all axes, curves, and points as appropriate. Show your work for any calculations. (a) Draw the foreign exchange market showing the yen-price for Indian rupees. Label the equilibrium exchange rate (e1), the equilibrium quantity (Q₁), and the current exchange rate (ec). Assume that there is a surplus of the rupee at the current rate. (b) Assume the current exchange rate for the British pound in terms of the Canadian dollar is $0.50 per pound. Based on this information, draw the foreign exchange market for Canadian dollars. Assume the market is in equilibrium. Japan and Australia are trading partners. Japan uses the yen for its currency and Australia uses the Australian dollar. (c) Using side-by-side graphs of the exchange market for the yen (V) and the Australian dollar (A$), show the impact of a decrease in the demand for yen.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider the exchange rate between U.S. Dollar and Mexican Peso: USD/MXN. Initially, the supply curve for USD is 100 + eN bln dollars per week and the demand curve is 140 - eN bln dollars per week. There is a financial crisis in Mexico and the government fears that it may lead to capital outflows that would make the crisis even worse. They decide that if Mexican Peso depreciates by more than 20% the central bank will step in and fix the exchange rate. As the crisis unfolds the demand for the U.S. dollars increases to 142 - eN and the supply of dollars falls to 99 + eN. How should the central bank of Mexico react to this change?
In class, we use the dollar-euro exchange rate, Es/e to graph foreign exchange equilibrium. Let's use the yen-dollar exchange rate, Ex /s, instead. /$, (a) Assuming that the expected future exchange rate is 120 yen per dollar, Ry = 0.001 and Rs = 0.01, plot the curve for the expected yen return on dollar assets (deposits). What is the equilibrium exchange rate? (b) Suppose the expected future exchange rate rises to 122. What is the new equilibrium exchange rate? Using a figure to show the equilibrium.

Sometimes, analysts use the price of specific products in different locations to compare currency valuation and purchasing power. For example, the Big Mac Index com- pares the purchasing power parity of many countries based on the price of a Big Mac. Locate the latest edi- tion of this index that is accessible. Identify the five countries (and their currencies) with the lowest pur- chasing power parity according to this classification. Which currencies, if any, are overvalued?
