9. According to the New York Times (11/18/06) the number of car producers in China is increasing rapidly. The newspaper reports that "China has more car brands now than the United States." But while car sales have climbed 38% in the first three quarters of the year, automakers have increased their output even faster, causing fierce competition and a slow erosion of prices." At the same time, Chinese consumer incomes have risen. Assume that cars are a normal good. Use a diagram of the supply and demand curves from cars in China to show what is happening. Explain verbally, too. Label and describe shifts and directions of Q and P carefully.

Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year: 1. Kevin orders 50 cases of mezcal from a Mexican distributor at a price of $90 per case. 2. A U.S. company sells 300 spark plugs to a Korean company at $5.00 per spark plug. 3. Rajiv, a U.S. citizen, pays $900 for a TV he orders from Cosmart (a U.S. company). Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year. Hint: Be sure to enter a “0” if none of the transactions listed are included in a given category and to enter a minus sign when the balance is negative.

China’s Thirst for Gas Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, deteriorating pipelines in Alaska, and conflict in Iraq can cause gasoline prices to rise by restricting supply. Often the events we see in the headlines affect the supply of oil available to consumers, but changes in the level of world demand for petroleum products also affects the price of oil. China’s Growing Demand U.S. demand for petroleum products has been high for decades. The United States is the largest consumer of oil, using about a quarter of the world’s petroleum. This is quickly changing. Emerging nations are becoming thirsty for oil, and China is at the top of that list. How did such a rapid change happen? In the past, China has not needed much petroleum. As the country is industrializing, however, it needs more and more fuel to satisfy its growing energy needs. In fact, as the graph of oil consumption between 1995 and 2025 shows, China’s consumption is increasing much more rapidly than…

The demand for U.S.-made cars in Japan is given as: Japanese demand = 10,000 - 0.001(Price of U.S. cars in yen). Similarly, the demand for Japanese-made cars in the United States is: U.S. demand = 30,000 0.2(Price of Japanese cars in dollars). The domestic price of a U.S.-made car is $20,000, and the domestic price of a Japanese-made car is ¥2,500,000. Instructions: If imports exceed exports, enter a negative value (-) for net export. a. If the nominal exchange rate is 100 yen per dollar, then the real exchange rate in terms of cars from the perspective of the United States is 0.8 and net exports of cars to Japan is -17000 b. The nominal exchange rate is 125 yen per dollar, then the real exchange rate in terms of cars from the perspective of the United States is ◆ and net exports of cars to Japan is -5000 c.

The following is an excerpt from an article in the Singaporean newspaper, the Straits Times: Singaporeans with a sweet tooth could soon find themselves paying more for their favourite treats, as bakers and confectioners buckle under soaring sugar prices. Since March last year, the price of white sugar has shot up by 70 per cent, according to the New York Board of Trade. As if that didn’t make life difficult enough for bakers, butter and cheese prices have also risen, by 31 per cent and 17 per cent respectively. The increases have been caused by various factors: a steep drop in Thailand’s sugarcane production due to drought, higher sea freight charges, increasing demand from China’s consumers for dairy products and the strong Australian and New Zealand dollar. For the consumer in Singapore, what this may eventually boil down to is a more expensive bag of cookies, with prices at some bakeries expected to rise between 10 and 20 per cent. [The owner of a Singapore…
