Consider a prosperous open economy such as Singapore. If Singapore’s saving rate (gross domestic saving as a % of GDP) is 25%, while its investment rate (domestic investment as a % of GDP) is 20%, the economy will experience a trade surplus, meaning that receipts from exports exceed expenditure on imports. Your answer: [True/False/Uncertain and explain why]

17. Exchange rates and U.S. exports: A graphical relationship The following graph shows exports from the United States to Japan. (Note: U.S. exports are measured in yen on this graph, which will enable you to see U.S. exports on the same graph as Japanese exports in a later problem.) EXCHANGE RATE (Dollars per yen) Exports from the U.S. EXPORTS (Yen) Exports from the U.S. ? Referring to the graph, why does the line showing exports from the United States slope upward? The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from the United States to Japan. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from Japan to the United States. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. Suppose that the exchange rate goes from $10 per 1,000 yen to $8 per 1,000 yen. On the previous…

6-Look at a country’s Terms of Trade (T.O.T.). It is assumed that when the T.O.T. value increases the country’s wellbeing goes up, and when the T.O.T. value declines, the country’s wellbeing is reduced. Do you agree??? Explain!!! Among others you stated: “Trade between countries highly depends upon terms of trade. T.O.T. has important effects on the balance of payments or on its economic growth so the T.O.T. is used to measure the wellbeing of the country.” Further down though…you refute your previous statement by saying: “But T.O.T. should not be used to calculate wellbeing as its calculation does not show the volume of export of the country, only shows relative changes between countries….”etc.
Question 8 (1 point) Listen Consider two different scenarios. In one, a small country imposes a $5 tariff on cars. In the other, a large country imposes a $5 tariff on cars. Which of the following statements regarding the new domestic equilibrium price is true? The small country's price after the tariff would be at least as high as the large country's price after the tariff. The small country's price after the tariff would be no greater than the large country's price after the tariff. The small country's price after the tariff would be equal to the large country's price after the tariff. It is impossible to tell which would be greater.
PRICE (Yen per dollar) 9. Study Questions and Problems #9 The following graph depicts the supply and demand curves for U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange market. Suppose that real interest rates in the United States rise. On the graph, shift either the supply of dollars curve, the demand for dollars curve, or both curves to best reflect the given scenario.

Statements. As one of the largest and most advanced countries in the world, the United States would not really benefit from trading with smaller, less developed countries. This is because the United States has the capacity to produce essentially all products in larger volumes than these countries. So in absolute terms, the United States has a larger production capacity and would only benefit from trading with other countries that can produce a certain product in higher volumes than it does.
The graph depicts the market for oil, with the assumption that the United States can import any amount of oil it chooses at the world free trade price. Adjust the graph to reflect what happens when a 50% import tax is imposed on oil. (graph in the image) Approximately how many million barrels are imported before the tax is imposed? imported oil:_________million barrels Approximately how many million barrels are imported after the tax is imposed? imported oil:________million barrel

3. Exchange rates and U.S. exports: A graphical relationship The following graph shows exports from the United States to Japan. (Note: U.S. exports are measured in yen on this graph, which will enable you to see U.S. exports on the same graph as Japanese exports in a later problem.) [Please see the image] Referring to the graph, why does the line showing exports from the United States slope upward? 1. The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. 2. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from Japan to the United States. 3. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. 4. The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from the United States to Japan. Suppose that the exchange rate goes from $10 per 1,000 yen to $8 per 1,000 yen.
