The projected trade deficits for a country in 2021-2023 are in the following table: Net Year Exports (billion $) 2021 -10 2022 -5 2023 2024 ? You are asked to calculate the size of the trade surplus required to balance the sum of net exports for the 2021-2024 period in present discounted value terms. You know that future values are discounted at rate i = 3% . The 2024 surplus that accomplishes this goal is $. billion. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Suppose the current exchange rate is 115 yen per dollar. We currently have a demand for 50 units of our product when the unit price is 800 yen. The cost of producing and shipping the product to Japan is $6, and the current elasticity of demand is –0.15625. Find the optimal price to charge for the product (in yen) for each of the following exchange rates: 60 yen/$, 80 yen/$, 100 yen/$, 120 yen/$, 140 yen/$, and 160 yen/$. Assume the demand function is linear. use the following formula for demand: Demand = 175 - 0.15625 x Price
Consider the following model of an economy with no international trade, and in which the price level is fixed: C = 40 + (8/9)∙DI I = 30 G = 30 Taxes = (1/8)∙GDP where C is consumption demand, DI is disposable income, I is planned investment, G is government purchases, and all whole numbers are in billions of dollars. Determine the equilibrium level of production (GDP) in this economy (show your work), and draw this equilibrium situation on a graph. Use the multiplier to determine the change in equilibrium GDP that would result from an exogenous 16 billion dollar increase of government purchases. Then determine…
A small, open economy with a fixed exchange rate system faces a balance of payments deficit due to a combination of high import levels and capital outflows. The central bank is using its foreign exchange reserves to support the fixed exchange rate, but these reserves are rapidly depleting. The government is considering policy options such as moving to a flexible exchange rate system, implementing capital controls, or seeking external financial assistance. In this case, the policy choices are primarily aimed at: A) Maintaining the fixed exchange rate at all costs B) Addressing the balance of payments deficit and stabilizing the exchange rate C) Completely closing off the economy from international trade D) Ignoring the balance of payments deficit
This question is related to the concept of twin deficits. For a small economy, twin deficits are related if an increase in the government budget deficit raises the current account deficit only it affects desired national saving or desired consumption in the home country. Benefiting from equation/s and graph/s, show this result is true when the government budget deficit resulting from a tax cut (T). Note: In order to solve the question, please assume that initially the small open economy is giving current account (CA) deficit!!
If Canada increase its export of lithium, in such a way that national exports would increase, would that actually increase Canadian output? Or would it be washed out through an equal increase in imports? Explain your reasoning.
The value of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange (falls, rises) as a result of this export subsidy. True or False: The export subsidy reduces the trade deficit.
You have just been hired by the U.S. government to analyze the following scenario. Suppose the U.S. agricultural industry is concerned about the level of fruit and vegetable imports to the United States, a practice that hurts domestic producers. Lobbyists claim that implementing a quota on imports would shrink the size of the trade deficit. The following exercise will help you to analyze this claim. The following graph shows the demand and supply of U.S. dollars in a model of the foreign-currency exchange market. Given this change, the dollar (appreciate, depreciate) . Fill in the following table with the effect of a quota on the following items: Supply of Loanable Funds Real Interest Rate Domestic Investment Net Exports in crease, decrease, or no change increase, decrease or no change increase decrease or no change increase , decrease or no change
Select all of the following statements which can be said of a country with a current account deficit over the previous year: The country is exporting more than it is importing, assuming that net foreign aid and investment income is zero. The country was a net borrower over the previous year. Assuming zero net foreign aid and investment income, the country imported more than it exported. The country will experience upward pressure on its currency prices. The country must decrease its currency reserve account.

You have just been hired by the U.S. government to analyze the following scenario. Suppose the U.S. agricultural industry is concerned about the level of fruit and vegetable imports to the United States, a practice that hurts domestic producers. Lobbyists claim that implementing a tariff on imports would shrink the size of the trade deficit. The following exercise will help you to analyze this claim. The following graph shows the demand and supply of U.S. dollars in a model of the foreign-currency exchange market. Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both to show what would happen if the government decided to implement the tariff. Given this change, the dollar_______ (appreciates/depreciates). Fill in the following table with the effect of a tariff on the following items:
