Suppose Angola is experiencing an episode of hyperinflation. The currency in Angola is the second kwanza (which is actually the fourth currency called kwanza that has circulated since 1977). The currency code is (AOA). Select all choices below that are implied by the statement if parity conditions (PPP, IRP, FEP) hold: Nominal interest rates in Angola will exceed nominal interest rates in countries not experiencing hyperinflation. The value of the AOA is expected to drop to zero. Real interest rates in Angola will fall relative to countries without hyperinflation. The AOA is expected to depreciate against any currencies that are not experiencing hyperinflation.
Turkey experienced hyperinflation in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The exchange rate for the Turkish lira was TRL650,000=$1 on January 1, 2001. In 2001, inflation in Turkey was 140%, while in the USA was only 2.5%. This led the Central Bank of Turkey to implement a mini-devaluation policy at the monthly rate of 7.5%. What was the official exchange rate on December 31, 2001? Was the Turkish lira properly valued? (Hint: Pay attention to the monthly devaluation process)

Assume that the one-year U.S. Treasury bond rate is 3% and the similar European government bond rate is 5%. Comparing these inflation rates, could it be expected that the dollar will appreciate or depreciate against the euro over the next year? If the spot rate is 1.50 dollars per euro, what would be the forward rate?
On 5 November, 2021 the yield on a one-year Colombian government bond is 3.24%, and the Colombian exchange rate is 3,872.50 COP/USD (i.e., 3,872.5 Colombian pesos per US dollar). a) If the uncovered interest parity condition holds, do financial market participants expect the Colombian peso to appreciate or depreciate (vis-à-vis the US dollar) over the next year? What exchange rate are financial market participants expecting for November 5, 2022?
As per the Uncovered interest parity (UIP) which of the following is true? If the interest rates in India, USA, and Japan are 8%, 5%, and 3 % , then Japanese Yen is likely to depreciate against INR. If the interest rates in India, USA, and Japan are 8%, 5%, and 3 %, then USD is likely to appreciate against INR, but depreciate against Japanese Yen INR is expected to depreciate by 3% against USD approximately. Both b and c
Suppose the dollar depreciates relative to foreign currencies. If U.S. firms have domestic content below 100%, the benefit to domestic firms is _____ (greater or less) than the benefit if U.S. producers had domestic content of 100%.
Suppose we consider two countries, a home country and a foreign country. In the home country, the expected inflation rate is equal to 3.6 per cent, while the expected inflation rate abroad is equal to 4.2 per cent. Furthermore, it is known that the nominal interest rate in the home country is equal to 3.4 per cent, while the nominal interest rate abroad is equal to 4 per cent.a) First explain what is meant by absolute purchasing power parity, relative purchasing power parity and uncovered nominal interest rate parity. Then give an estimate of the expected growth in the nominal exchange rate based on each of the three theories. Finally, show that if both relative purchasing power parity and uncovered nominal interest rate parity apply, real interest rates in the two countries will be approximately equal.
