There is trade between the U.S. (domestic country) and Great Britain (foreign country) and the quantity of pounds supplied is positively related to the exchange rate. The exchange rate is defined as the domestic currency price of the foreign currency, i.e., dollars per pound. Using clearly labeled graphs of demand for and supply of the foreign currency, show and explain what will happen to: (i) the demand for pounds and/or; (ii) the supply of pounds; and (iii) the value of the dollar against the pound as a result of each one of the following changes. (a) a decrease in tariffs in the Great Britain. (b) a decrease in prices of goods produced in China. Both the U.S. and Great Britain trade with China. (c) a decrease in interest rates in the U.S

The following questions focus on the exchange rate between the euro and the Danish krone. Assume the exchange rate is flexible. The exchange rate is defined as the number of euros you must pay for one krone. Suppose an economic downturn in Denmark causes Danish incomes to decrease, while European incomes remain unchanged. Shift the appropriate curve or curves on the following graph to illustrate how this affects the market for Danish kroner if all other things remain equal. Supply of Kroner Demand for Kroner Supply of Kroner Demand for Kroner QUANTITY OF KRONER The decrease in Danish incomes causes the Danish krone to relative to the euro and causes the euro to relative to the Danish krone. Suppose the price level in the euro zone rises by 12%, while the price level in Denmark remains the same. That is, the inflation rate in the euro zone is higher than in Denmark. EUROS PRICE OF KRONER
In the foreign currency market for U.S. dollars: Which of the following would be correct? U.S. residents are on the supply curve U.S. residents are on the demand curve Foreign residents are on the supply curve Foreign residents are on the demand curve
Suppose that, initially, the foreign exchange market between the United Kingdom and Canada is in equilibrium. However, over time, the supply of the Canadian euro shifts to the left, causing the pound to (depreciate/appreciate) against the Canadian euro. Which of the following is a disadvantage of this change in the supply of foreign currency for the United Kingdom? a)UK exporting firms find it easier to sell goods on Canadian markets. b)UK consumers face lower prices on Canadian goods. c)UK exporting firms find it more difficult to compete in the Canadian market. d)UK consumers face higher prices on Canadian goods.

For each prompt below, carefully and thoroughly follow the directions. For the graphs, be certain to accurately label all axes, curves, and points as appropriate. Show your work for any calculations. (a) Draw the foreign exchange market for euros in terms of pounds. Label the equilibrium exchange rate (e1), the equilibrium quantity (Q1), and the current exchange rate (ec). Assume that there is a shortage of the euro at the current rate. (b) Assume the current exchange rate for the Chinese yuan in terms of the U.S. dollar is $0.20 per yuan. Based on this information, draw the foreign exchange market for dollars. Assume the market is in equilibrium. The United States and Mexico are trading partners. (c) Using side-by-side graphs of the exchange market for the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso, show the impact of an increase in the demand for pesos. (d) Based on the change indicated in part (c), is the U.S. dollar appreciating or depreciating? (e) If the United States began…
The following two figures depict the demand and supply of U.S. dollars and the demand and supply of British pounds in the foreign currency exchange market. Use these figures to answer the questions that follow: Price (U.S. dollars per British pound) $1.25 ↑ $1.11 Figure A S₁ 1.5 O both Figures A and B. D₂ neither Figure A nor Figure B. O Figure A but not Figure B. O Figure B but not Figure A. D₂ Price (British pounds per U.S. dollar) £0.90 £0.80 Quantity (trillions of British pounds) An increase in U.S. consumer demand for British goods is consistent with: Figure B S₁ O the supply curve being upward sloping in both Figures A and B. 2.5 D₂ D₁ Quantity (trillions of U.S. dollars)
In Belarus, the government doesn’t allow trading of its ruble outside a narrow price range, which greatly overvalues the ruble – there is a price floor on the ruble compared to euros or dollars. Because of the floor, currency trading has dried up – who would want to sell foreign currencies for grossly overpriced Belarusian rubles? A friend of one of my students has a web site designed to overcome rigidities in this market, a sort of Craigslist for currency. People specify amounts they are willing to buy or sell, agree to trade at some price and arrange a meeting place. When they meet, the trade nominally occurs at the official price floor, making the transaction nominally legal; but the person selling rubles makes extra payments to the buyer to lower the price sufficiently so that the trade actually takes place at the equilibrium price. This is one more way in which technology helps markets circumvent imperfections and rigidities. Q: If the Belarusian government increases…
The following graph depicts the supply and demand curves for U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange market. Suppose that Japan puts quotas on all U.S. imports. On the graph, shift either the supply of dollars curve, the demand for dollars curve, or both curves to best reflect the given scenario. PRICE (Yen per dollar) S D QUANTITY OF DOLLARS (Millions per day) If Japan puts quotas on all U.S. Imports, the U.S. dollar 6.4.
"Roman Abramovitch" lecture: you must answer all questions. Displayed above is the (spot) foreign exchange market for the pound sterling and the GIG, the national currency of the country High Tech. At the initial equilibrium point X, 1 Pound 5 Gigs. Please answer the following questions: GIGS S₂ = 1 X O Z Se= DGIGS SE = DGIGS DE = SGIGS DE = SGIGS Billions of Pounds 1. Why does the supply curve for pounds slope upward? 2. Starting from an initial equilibrium of point X, consider a new, 5 billion pounds of capital inflow to High Tech. Under what situation would the new equilibrium be at point Y versus point Z? 3. Compare the (numerical) size of the monetary base or high-powered Money (Mo) at points X and Z. 4. If we knew that the money multiplier equals 2 and that the central bank of Freedonia had fully sterilized the capital inflow, could we estimate by how much real GDP would increase? 5. If the central bank decided instead not to sterilize, would the nominal or real gig exchange rate…
Assume that the total value of investment transactions between the United States and Mexico is minimal. Also, assume that the total dollar value of trade transactions between these two countries is very large. Now assume that Mexico's inflation has suddenly increased, and Mexican interest rates have suddenly increased. a) Please draw a graph to show how the equilibrium value of Mexican Pesos will change. b) What's more important for Mexican Pesos given the circumstances, change in interest rates, or change in inflation in Mexico?
