QUESTION 3 Consider the exchange rate between U.S. Dollar and Mexican Peso: USD/MXN. Initially, the supply curve for USD is 100+ e . bln dollars per week and the demand curve is 140 - e bln dollars per week. There is a financial crisis in Mexico and the government fears that it may lead to capital outflows that would make the crisis even worse. They decide that if Mexican Peso depreciates by more than 20%, the central bank will step in and fix the exchange rate. As the crisis unfolds the demand for the U.S. dollars increases to 142 - e and the supply of dollars falls to 99+e . How should the central bank of Mexico react to this change? O A. start selling U.S. dollars to support the exchange rate O B. start buying U.S. dollars to support the exchange rate O C. reduce money supply in the economy O D. do nothing

A company manufacturers a product in the United States and sells it in England. The unit cost of manu- facturing is $50. The current exchange rate (dollars per pound) is 1.221. The demand function, which indicates how many units the company can sell in England as a function of price (in pounds) is of the power type, with constant 27556759 and exponent 22.4. a. Develop a model for the company’s profit (in dol- lars) as a function of the price it charges (in pounds). Then use a data table to find the profit-maximizing price to the nearest pound. b. If the exchange rate varies from its current value, does the profit-maximizing price increase or decrease? Does the maximum profit increase or decrease?
