Suppose further that Argentina fixes its exchange rate at P1.5 = $US1. a) What is the peso value of Argentina's total external wealth?

If national income Y = 10,000, disposable income Yd = 8,000 , consumption is C = 7,500, transfer payments TR = 100 and the budget deficit is BD = 150, what is the level of private domestic investment, I ? (please insert the round number without the Euro symbol)
A country’s private consumption is 30, government spending is 7, investment is 5, net factor income from abroad is 2, GDP is 45. The country’s gross national disposable income is 46. the country’s gross national income is 47. the gross national expenditure is 42 and the Current account is 4. The country sent abroad 2 and received 1 of unilateral transfers. The rest of the world claims 100 of debt from the country above. This is a stock variable. The country lends at 4% and borrows at 3%. These are rates of change of stocks. Use this information combined with one of the flow variables describing the country’s international transactions to find the stock of what the world owes this country. Note: no workers worked across the border. No wages flowed in, none flowed out. Is the country from the previous question rich or poor? Does it enjoy the exorbitant privilege? In what important way is this country’s stock and flow of investment different from the US?
Exports of goods and services 1,872 Imports of goods and services 2,375 Net unilateral transfers -99 Net Investment Income 170 Capital Account -7 Net US acquisition of financial assets 958 Net US incurrence of liabilities 1,391 Net financial derivatives -14 Based on the table above, the balance on the financial account is Group of answer choices 454 447 -14 -447

You have the following annual figures for the New Zealand economy. Investment expenditure $42.5 billion Government savings -$1.7 billion The current account balance is not zero. In fact the current account deficit is $6.0 billion. What is New Zealand's actual private sector savings figure? $____billion (use 1 d.p.).
You have the following annual data for the New Zealand economy ($bn): GDP (Y) = 184 Gross National Disposable Income (Yd) = 171 Net exports of goods and services (NX) = 0 Private Consumption (C) = 106 Government consumption (G) = 34 Based on this data, complete the following paragraph (enter numbers only). Investment (I) is equal to $____bn. The current account SELECT (surplus or deficit) is equal to $_____bn. The capital account part of the balance of payments (which for the purposes of this question includes both capital and financial accounts) therefore shows a SELECT (surplus or deficit) of $_____bn. National savings is equal to $_____bn.
2) Exchange rates and interest rates are connected through the parity conditions. Let the New Zealand interest rate be 5% per annum, the US interest rate be 10% per annum, the spot exchange rate be 0.8USD/1 NZD, and the one year forward exchange rate to be 0.85USD/1 NZD. a) What is the return, in NZD, a New Zealand financial trader would get if they invested 1 NZD in New Zealand? b) What is the return, in NZD, an New Zealand financial trader would get if they invested 1 NZD in the US? [Hint: you'll have to exchange that NZD for USDI] c) As you should find, the values given mean the parity condition does not hold. Given the interest rates are fixed, what will happen to the value of the spot exchange rate now? Think about this in terms of demand and supply for the NZD in the FOREX market, and you may draw out a diagram if you wish. d) Now repeat c) for the change in value of the forward exchange rate.
