Question 1: International interdependencies In a two-country world with countries A and B, A has an annual current account (CA) deficit of 100 billion Dollars. The national account equations of both countries are (YA = CA + IA + XA-MA+ GA-TA) and (YB = CB+ IB + XB-MB + GB-TB). a) An economist remarks that the current account position of B is equal to the net international borrowing of the private and public sectors in A. Is he right? Demonstrate your answer using the national income components of A. b) After elections in A, the new government of A promotes smaller net government spending to become more competitive, by stimulating net exports and achieving a current account surplus. To achieve this, which changes in the national account equation is the government hoping for, and are these changes to be expected? c) Another economist states that "The success of this policy depends on the behavior of international lenders and investors". Is she right? Explain your answer.

A manufacturer sells a particular product in both Brazil and the U.S. In Brazil, the manufacturer has been selling 4,900 units per year of the product at a price of $200 and a contribution margin of 25 percent. For sales of this product in Brazil, calculate the breakeven sales level for a $20 price increase. Show your work. In the U.S., the manufacturer’s price for this product is $400 and the contribution margin is 50 percent. The manufacturer knows that, because of gray market commerce, every one-unit change of sales of this product in Brazil leads to a 0.15-unit sales change in the opposite direction in the U.S. Given this information, recalculate the breakeven sales level in Brazil described in Part a. Show your work. Using the course material, describe the concept of a price corridor. Then explain how the difference between the breakeven you calculated in Part (b) and the one you calculated in Part (a) is helpful for applying the price-corridor concept in this situation.
