In class, we use the dollar-euro exchange rate, Es/c 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, 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.

1. Exchange-rate fluctuations and international competitiveness Comdemo is a hypothetical U.S. computer manufacturer. The following table shows Comdemo's production costs of producing one computer. Note that Comdemo denominates the costs of its inputs in dollars as well as francs. Initially, in period 1, the exchange value of the dollar is $0.50 per franc. Complete the Period 1 section in the following table by calculating the franc equivalent of the input costs and Comdemo's total cost of producing one computer. Cost of Producing One Computer Period 1: $0.50 per Franc Cost (Dollar) 150.00 120.00 Labor Dollar-denominated inputs Franc-denominated inputs 150.00 Energy cost 90.00 Total cost 510.00 Equivalent (Franc) 300.00 240.00 180.00 Period 2: $0.40 per Franc Cost Equivalent (Dollar) (Franc) 150.00 375.00 120.00 Suppose that in period 2, the dollar appreciates to $0.40 per franc. 90.00 300.00 225.00 Complete the "Period 2" section in the previous table by calculating the franc…
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.
Hello, how does the formula represented in my first image get to the solution form in the second image? I guess its the algebra portion of the problem which I do not quite understand. Also, why in the solution we multiply times 1/1.1 and then add it? The longer your explanation through the solution the better for me, thanks.
Please solve both 13 and 14th question . I will give you thumbs up .
2. Assume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras in Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: Qd" = 60 – P; Qs™ =-5 + 1/4 P; =-10+ 1/2 P. Qd'= 80 – P; Qs' P is the price measured in a common currency used in both a. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and b. Now assume that free trade countries, such as the Thai Baht. quantities (Q) in each country without trade. occurs. The free trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and imports cameras and in what quantities?
(A). Diagram 2: The DD -AA model Exchange rate, E DD E AA Output, Y Use the DD-AA model to examine the effects of an one-time rise in the foreign price level, P* given that the future exchange rate Ee falls immediately in proportion to P*. If the economy is initially in internal and external balance, will its position be disturbed by such a rise in P*?
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. Each Box of Chocolates sells for 6500 Chilean pesos in Chile. In Switzerland, each box of chocolates 11 Swiss Franc to produce. Assume that the firm has 1 million boxes of chocolate to sell. How much money (in Swiss Franc) would the firm make (or lose) on the sale at the following exchange rates: Rate 1: 550 Pesos per Swiss Franc Rate 2: 0.0015 Swiss Franc Per Chilean Peso
17. Exchange rates and U.S. exports: A graphical relationship The following graph shows exports from the United States to Japan. (Note: U.S. exports are measured in yen on this graph, which will enable you to see U.S. exports on the same graph as Japanese exports in a later problem.) EXCHANGE RATE (Dollars per yen) Exports from the U.S. EXPORTS (Yen) Exports from the U.S. ? Referring to the graph, why does the line showing exports from the United States slope upward? The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from the United States to Japan. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from Japan to the United States. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. Suppose that the exchange rate goes from $10 per 1,000 yen to $8 per 1,000 yen. On the previous…
8. Suppose that last year, the nominal exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the British pound was ¥150.0 per £1.0, one unit of Japanese output cost ¥1300, and one unit of British output cost £8.0.a. What was the real exchange rate between the U.K. and Japan last year, expressed as the cost of British output (i.e. – the quantity of Japanese output that exchanges for 1 unit of British output)? In which country were goods more expensive last year?
The figure to the right shows the market for Thailand's currency, the baht Suppose market interest rates on financial assets denominated in baht decline relative to market interest rates on financial assets denominated in other nations' currencies. Moreover, assume a floating exchange rate Using the line drawing tool, show how the market for the baht is impacted by this event. Properly label this line Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. According to your graph, the baht has with respect to the dollar Dollars per Bart 0.000 0.054- 0.040 0.042- 0036- 0.030- 0024- 0.018 0.012 0.000 0 000- Quantity of Baht (bitions) 10
Suppose that Argentina's dollar-denominated external assets and liabilities are $10 billion and $100 billion, respectively, and its Argentine peso-denominated external assets are 70 billion pesos (P) and peso-denominated external liabilities are 50 billion pesos (P). Suppose further that Argentina fixes its exchange rate at P1.5 = $US1. a) What is the peso value of Argentina's total external wealth? Is it a net debtor or creditor? b) Suppose that Argentina changes its exchange rate to P2.3 = $US1. How does the external wealth of Argentina change when this occurs?
