On the graph, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium exchange rate and quantity under a system of flexible exchange rates. Under a system of flexible exchange rates, the dollar will depreciate until the foreign exchange market reaches an equilibrium exchange rate of $2.5 per euro Now suppose that the United States wants to maintain the initial equilibrium exchange rate of $2 per euro. On the graph, use a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium under a system of fixed exchange rates. Under system of fixed exchange rates, which of the following policies could the U.S. government use to prevent the change in demand for euros from driving the exchange rate to the new equilibrium? Check all that apply. ✔Place import restrictions on European goods ✔Sell U.S. euro reserves in the foreign exchange market Lower interest rates by way of monetary policy

Consider the exchange rate between the Moroccan dirham and the euro. Suppose the Moroccan government and the Eurozone governments agree to fix the exchange rate (ER) at 2.5 dirham per euro, as shown by the grey line on the following graph.

1 Suppose that two countries, Indonesia and Vietnam, produce coffee. The currency unit used in Indonesia is the Rupiah (IDR). The currency unit used in Vietnam is the Dong (VND). In Vietnam, coffee sells for 4,500 dong (VND) per pound. The exchange rate is 1.57 VND per 1 IDR, EVND/IDR = 1.57. 2 If the law of one price holds, what is the price of coffee in Indonesia, measured in Rupiah (assume we are talking about the same type of coffee)? Please round your answer to the nearest whole number. Assume the price of coffee in Indonesia is actually 3000 IDR per pound. Compute the relative price of coffee in Indonesia versus Vietnam (round your answer to 2 decimal places). Where will coffee traders buy coffee? Where will they sell coffee in this case? How will these transactions affect the price of coffee in Vietnam? In Indonesia?
Coffee grown in Guatemala is priced at 19 Guatemalan quetzal per pound (Guatemalan quetzal, or GTQ, is the currency of Guatemala). Comparable coffee grown in the U.S. is priced at $6.20 per pound. One Guatemalan quetzal trades for $0.13 in the foreign exchange market. Find the real exchange rate from the perspective of the United States and from the perspective of Guatemala, and determine which country's coffee is more competitively priced? Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Real exchange rate from the perspective of the U.S. is ☐ Real exchange rate from the perspective of Guatemala is Coffee is more competitively priced in (Click to select)

The Big Mac index is used as a rough measure of purchasing power parity across countries. The Economist magazine recently included the Vietnamese dong in its calculation of the Big Mac index. A Big Mac costs $5.06 in the United States but only 60,368 dong or $2.66 in Vietnam (at the current exchange rate). What does this information suggest about the value of the real exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to the Vietnamese dong (treating the United States as the domestic economy, so the nominal exchange rate is expressed as dong per dollar)? Is the real exchange rate likely to be greater than or less than 1?
Suppose a currency is temporarily undervalued by a fixed exchange rate system, such as the international gold standard. Let that currency be the US dollar, and expressed in terms of British pounds. First show this disequilibrium using a supply and demand graph and then Clearly explain how one could profit by arbitraging in dollars using a bill of exchange.

If a "Big Mac costs $4.00 in the United States and 200 yen in Japan, then the implied "purchasing-power-parity" exchange rate using the "Big Mac" is __________. If the actual exchange rate in the market is 120 yen = $1, then an economist would say that the actual Japanese yen is __________ in comparison with its "purchasing-power-parity" rate.
The figure below illustrates the market for Bahamian dollars, where the price of the Bahamian dollar is valued in U.S. dollars. Assume that the Bahamian government wants to peg its currency to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio (one U.S. dollar = one Bahamian dollar). But the current exchange rate is at 90 cents (10 cents below the official peg). What must the Bahamian central bank do to return to the $1 exchange rate A. It would need to reduce the demand for the Bahamlan dollar. B. It would need to reduce the supply of the Bahamian dollar. C. It would need to Increase the supply of the Bahamian dollar. D. It would need to Increase the demand for the Bahamlan dollar. Part 2 Suppose you are a U.S. student and are thinking about visiting the Bahamas for spring break. You would rather the central bank intervened ___ (before or after) spring break. Part 3 Suppose that currently, the exchange rate is 1 Bahamian dollar for 1 U.S. dollar.
