A

To determine

the supply and demand curves for pounds are to be drawn and the equilibrium exchange rate is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The exchange rate helps to determine the value of one currency in terms of some other foreign currency. This exchange rate is required to carry out international trade. This exchange rate is determined by the supply and demand for a particular currency in the market. This exchange rate highly affects the balance of payments account especially the trade balance. A higher exchange rate means imports become cheaper and a lower exchange rate increases the exports.

Discuss the preferred deterrent method employed by the Zambian government to combat tax evasion, monetary fines. As noted in the reading the potential penalty for corporate tax evasion is a fine of 52.5% of the amount evaded plus interest assessed at 5% annually along with a possibility of jail time. In general, monetary fines as a deterrent are preferred to blacklisting of company directors, revoking business operation licenses, or calling for prison sentences. Do you agree with this preference? Should companies that are guilty of tax evasion face something more severe than a monetary fine? Something less severe? Should the fine and interest amount be set at a different rate? If so at why? Provide support and rationale for your responses.
