On the graph, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium exchange rate and quantity under a system of flexible exchange rates. Under a system of flexible exchange rates, the dollar will depreciate until the foreign exchange market reaches an equilibrium exchange rate of $2.5 per euro Now suppose that the United States wants to maintain the initial equilibrium exchange rate of $2 per euro. On the graph, use a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium under a system of fixed exchange rates. Under system of fixed exchange rates, which of the following policies could the U.S. government use to prevent the change in demand for euros from driving the exchange rate to the new equilibrium? Check all that apply. ✔Place import restrictions on European goods ✔Sell U.S. euro reserves in the foreign exchange market Lower interest rates by way of monetary policy

What is the foreign exchange market?
Imagine that the U.S. economy finds itself in the following situation: a government budget deficit of 100 billion, total domestic savings of 1,500 billion, and total domestic physical capital investment of 1,600 billion. According to the national saving and Investment Identity, what will be the current account balance? What will be the current account balance if Investment rises by 50 billion, while the budget deficit and national savings remain the same?
Suppose a country has an overall balance of trade so that exports of goods and services equal imports of goods and services. Does that imply that the country has balanced trade with each of its trading partners?
7. Balance of payments and the foreign exchange market The following graph shows the market for euros, which is initially in equilibrium. Suppose an economic downturn in the United States leads to a drop in American incomes, causing imports from Europe to decline. On the graph, illustrate the effect of an economic downturn on the market for euros by shifting the appropriate curve or curves. ?

5. Changes in the foreign exchange market The following questions focus on the exchange rate between the Malaysian ringgit and the Mexican peso. Assume the exchange rate is flexible. The exchange rate is defined as the number of ringgit you must pay for one peso. Suppose an economic expansion in Mexico causes Mexican incomes to rise, while Malaysian incomes remain unchanged. Shift the appropriate curve or curves on the following graph to illustrate how this affects the market for Mexican pesos if all other things remain equal. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. Supply of Pesos Demand for Pesos Supply of Pesos Demand for Pesos QUANTITY OF PESOS The increase in Mexican incomes causes the Mexican peso to relative to the Malaysian ringgit and causes the Malaysian ringgit to relative to the Mexican peso.

4) Suppose the price level in India is 9,500, the price level in the United States is 140, and the price level in Brazil is 750. Suppose the current nominal exchange rates are 75 Indian rupee per dollar and 5 Brazilian real per dollar. Calculate the real exchange rates (rounded to two decimal places) between each pair of countries. Note that you will have to first calculate the nominal exchange rate between Brazil and South India before calculating the real exchange rate between those two countries. (4

2. Determining long-term exchange rates Consider two countries, the United States and Japan, that trade with each other. Suppose that the productivity growth in the United States accelerates, but it remains the same in Japan. The following graph shows the supply and demand for the Japanese yen in the United States before the change in productivity. The vertical axis is the exchange rate of the yen in terms of the doliar, and the horizontal axis is the quantity of yen. Show how the change in productivity affects the equilibrium exchange rate by shifting one or both of the curves on the graph Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther EXCHANGE RATE (Dolars per yen Supply Demand QUANTITY (Millions of yer) As a result of the change in productivity, the U.S. dollar appreciates depreciates Demand Supply

A German automobile firm decides to build an assembly plant in South Carolina c. A U. S. college student decides to spend a year studying at the Sorbonne in Paris d.

6. Changes in the foreign-exchange market The following questions focus on the exchange rate between the Malaysian ringgit and the Danish krone. Assume the exchange rate is flexible. The exchange rate is defined as the number of ringgit you must pay for one krone. Suppose an economic downturn in Denmark causes Danish incomes to decrease, while Malaysian 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.
