A case study in the chapter analyzed purchasingpower parity for several countries using the pricc ofBig Macs. Here arc data for a few more countries: a. For each country, compute the predicted exchangerate of the local currency per U.S. dollar. (Recallthat the U.S. price o( a Big Mac was $4.93.)b. According to purchasing-power parity, what is thepredicted exchange rate between the Hungarianforint and the Canadian dollar? What is the actualexchange rate?c. How well docs the theory of purchasing-powerparity explain exchange rates?
A big Mac costs $3.35 in the U.S. and 31 Pesos in Mexico. The current exchange rate is $1 buys 11 Pesos. Then according to purchasing power parity, we can predict that the U.S. dollar should over time, and in order for ppp to hold we need Et = %3D O appreciate; 10.11 O appreciate; 9.25 O depreciate; 10.11 O depreciate; 9.25

Consider an economy that lasts for two periods, period 1 and period 2. Let TBị denotes the trade bal- ance in period t, CA, the current account balance in period 1, and B; the country's net international investment position at the end of period 1. Let r denote the interest rate paid on assets held for one period. Assume net international payments to employees, net unilateral transfers, and valuation changes are always equal to zero, so that in period t = 1,2: CA; = rB;_ = TB, and CA = B; – B-1 C) If the country starts period 1 with no debt or assets, what can you say about the current account in periods 1 and 2?
Q.1.10 Which of the following statements is correct? (2)(1) When a British firm invests in a bicycle manufacturing facility in South Africa,the amount concerned is entered as an inflow on the current account of theSouth African balance of payments.(2) When someone purchases a second‐hand car, the transaction is included inthe calculation of GDP in the year the sale took place.(3) A deficit on the current account of the balance of payments indicates thatthe country exported more than it imported during the period in question.(4) In the base year, the value of nominal GDP is equal to the value of real GDP.
Refer to the previous exercise. Which type of foreign market intervention must the central bank ofColombia conduct to keep the exchange rate at alevel where the currency is not under- or overvaluedin terms of PPP?
If the price level recently increased by 19% in Englandwhile falling by 6% in the Canada, by how much mustthe exchange rate change if PPP holds? Assume that thecurrent exchange rate is 0.58 pound per dollar

Assume that the 3-year annualized interest rate in the United States is 9 percent and the 3-year annualized interest rate in Mexico is 6 percent. Assume interest rate parity holds for a 3-year horizon. The spot rate of the Mexican peso is $0.1206. If the forward rate is used to forecast exchange rates, what will be the forecast for the peso's spot rate in 3 years? What percentage appreciation or depreciation does this forecast imply over the 3-year period? USA is the home country.
Consider a floating exchange rate regime. How does higher government purchases affect output and interest rate in equilibrium? Answer and discuss with the help of the diagram given (e.g., show what curves will shift, label curves and axes correctly). Consider a fixed exchange rate regime. How does higher government expenditure affect output and interest rate in equilibrium? Discuss with the help of the diagram (e.g., show what curves will shift, label curves and axes correctly). Are your conclusions in (1) and (2) consistent with Mankiw's conclusion using the IS-LM diagram drawn in exchange rate-Output axes? Discuss.
The benefits of adopting a flexible exchange rate is that, a.in response to shocks to the demand for Australian exports, the value of the currency would adjust to moderate these effectsb. changes in the interest rate will have no effect on the exchange rate that is determined in the foreign exchange market c.the exchange rate can be more volatile d. an economy will be able to well predict the prices of exports and imports Why A is the correct answer? What is meant by a flexible exchange rate?
