Suppose that there are only two countries in the world: Localia (which is us), that uses the "Localios" (LCL) as its currency, and Nearovia (our trading partner), which uses “Nearos" (NER) as its currency. For questions 1-3, assume that this exchange rate between the NER and the LCL is flexible. Now consider the Supply & Demand market for domestic Localios. Suppose also that the Central Bank cuts interest rates at home in Localia. 1. What would we expect to happen to the exchange rate for LCL as a result of this rate cut? Explain using the Supply and Demand Figure for LCL and explain why any movements of any of the curves occur. 2. Would this create a recessionary gap, inflationary gap, or neither in Localia? Explain using vour AD-AS Figure for Localia

1. Individual Problems 11-1 Suppose that the euro is trading at $1.85 per euro in the foreign exchange market. Next, suppose that the exchange rate falls to $1.11 per euro, due to falling interest rates in the eurozone. The following graph shows the supply and demand curves for euros in the foreign exchange market. On the following graph, shift either the supply curve for euros or the demand curve for euros to reflect the influence of “carry trade” (in isolation from other factors that may affect the exchange rate) on the exchange rate for euros. (Hint: Carefully consider which price is measured on the vertical axis and which currency is being measured on the horizontal axis.)
The small happy Kingdom of Pollyanna does not trade with the rest of the world, but uses U.S dollars for its currency. Its domestic price of tofu is $1 per pound and the Kingdom produces and consumes 5 tons of tofu. The world price of tofu is just $0.50 per pound. At this price, the Kingdom would produce only 2 tons of tofu and would consume 8 tons of tofu, and thus have to import 6 tons of tofu. What is the deadweight loss in the tofu market associated with the Kingdom staying closed to trade? (Note: 1 ton = 2000 lbs.)
Which of the following would not violate the PPP theory of exchange rates? a) Expansionary monetary policy causes higher inflation and a currency depreciation. b) Since education is non-tradable, it is impossible for differences in schooling prices to be evened out by international trade. c)A mercedes car sells for a higher price in France than in Italy. d)Asian populations consume very little dairy products and hence a rise in the world price of milk would effect the Belgian price level more than that of Thailand.
Suppose that, initially, the foreign exchange market between the United States and Canada is in equilibrium. Suppose that preferences for goods made in Canada change in the United States, causing U.S. consumers to purchase fewer goods and services made in Canada. Illustrate how this change affects the market for Canadian dollars by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap Into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. Supply X Demand CANADIAN DOLLARS U.S. DOLLARS PER CANADIAN DOLLAR Demand Supply (?) This change in the market for Canadian dollars causes the U.S. dollar to disadvantage of this change in the demand for foreign currency for the United States? O U.S. inflation is lower due to lower prices on Canadian goods. O U.S. firms find it more difficult to compete with lower-priced Canadian goods. OU.S.…
Pick a good that is bought and sold internationally...the only condition is that you can find the price in the United States and the foreign price online (e.g., the iPhone sold in Mexico versus the United States). Next, find the foreign price, domestic price, and the exchange rate before "testing" the degree to which purchasing power parity holds. Elaborate upon why PPP might better hold for certain goods for certain countries, but not for others? In other words, if we observe major departures from PPP, what might be the cause?
QUESTION 1 In the following Classical-type table showing labor requirements per unit of output for each of the five commodities in Zambia and Swaziland, assume that the wage rate in Zambia is 2 Kwachas (2K) per day, the wage rate in Swaziland is R4 per day, and the exchange rate is K1=R1. Good A Good B Good C Good Good E 14 day 6 days 8 days Zambia 7 days 15 days 20 days Swaziland 2 days 4 3 days 3 days days Using the above information answer the following questions: a) Is trade between the two countries likely to occur and, if so, which goods will each country be exporting or importing? Explain b) Assume that the wage rate in Zambia is 5K/ day and exchange rate (e) is 0.5(that is 1K =R0.5); determine the upper and lower to Zambia wage rate limits. c) Suppose there is an improvement in productivity (lowering the labour requirements by 1 day) in Swaziland. Is there still be a basis for trade between these 2 countries, and why?

Several members of Congress have been highly critical of Japan and China because U.S. Imports from these countries have persistently been substantially greater than our exports to them. True or False: Under a flexible exchange rate system, imports and exports to any given country will be equal. True O False Japan is a major importer of resources like oil and a major exporter of high-tech manufacturing goods. a large amount of high-tech manufacturing goods and with Japan. The United States United States persistently runs a trade very little oll. Thus, it is understandable that the
Economic logic may tell us that a country with a higher interest rate, thus a higher rate of return, should be able to attract foreign capital and that a country with a lower interest rate, thus a lower rate of return, should experience an outflow of capital. If a country is experiencing a large net capital inflow its currency is likely to appreciate, while a country experiencing a large net capital outflow would likely see its currency depreciate (assuming a floating exchange rate). However, according to interest rate parity conditions a country with a higher interest rate would see its currency depreciate, while the currency of the lower interest rate country would appreciate. What is the main reason the outcome under interest rate parity conditions? Question 4 options: The assumption that countries have an identical real interest rate The relative interest rate level is not a factor for investment decisions Investors do not seek…
10) Assume the overall US market price for retail chocolate is $7.00 per pound, and in order to attract "Chocoholic Tourists" from Europe, the Hershey company decides to lower its price to $6.00 per pound. Based on the Purchasing Power Parity theory of exchange rates, what will eventually happen the effective price of chocolate for European buyers, assuming the Euro-USD exchange rate starts at 1€ Per $1.00? Using the chart below, determine the exchange rate at which Hershey's effective chocolate prices will match those of the rest of the chocolate market? # of Lbs Chocolate Exchange Exchange Chocolate 200 Effective budget in Rate Euros Rate budget in Price Euro Euro/$ $/Euro $'s Euros will buy 200.00 € 1.00 1.00 $200 33.33 6.00 € 200.00 € 1.05 0.95 $190 31.75 6.30 € 200.00 € 1.10 0.91 $182 30.30 6.60 € 200.00 € 1.15 0.87 $174 28.99 6.90 € 200.00 € 1.20 0.83 $167 27.78 7.20 € 200.00 € 1.25 0.80 $160 26.67 7.50 € 200.00 € 1.30 0.77 $154 25.64 7.80 € 200.00 € 1.35 0.74 $148 24.69 8.10 €

Macmillan Learning The diagram shows the market equilibrium exchange rate between the South African rand and the U.S. dollar (USD). Recently, due to a shift in global demand, South African exports have decreased. Shift the demand and supply curves as appropriate. Exchange rate (USD per rand) X Quantity of rand Supply Demand As a result of the change in the exchange rate, South Africa's current account balance will rise, and its financial account balance will fall. both South Africa's current account balance and its financial account balance will rise. both South Africa's current account balance and its financial account balance will fall. South Africa's current account balance will fall, and its financial account balance will rise.
