Exercise 2 You are given the following information. The current dollar-pound exchange rate is $2 per pound. A US basket that costs $100 would cost $120 in the UK. For the next year, the Fed is expected to keep US inflation at 2% and the Bank of England is expected to keep UK inflation at 3%. The speed of convergence to absolute PPP is 15% per year. Show Transcribed Text 2 (c) How much is the dollar overvalued/undervalued?

A South American country has had a high rate of inflation. Recently, its exchange rate was 15 cruzados per dollar; that is, one dollar will buy 15 cruzados. It is likely that the country will continue to experience a 25% inflation rate and that the U.S. will continue at a 3% inflation rate. Assume that the exchange rate will vary the same as the inflation. In this situation, one dollar will buy how many cruzados 5 years from now?

N N QUESTION 3 Consider the exchange rate between U.S. Dollar and Mexican Peso: USD/MXN. Initially, the supply curve for USD is 100+ e bln dollars per week and the demand curve is 140-e bln dollars per week. There is a financial crisis in Mexico and the government fears that it may lead to capital outflows that would make the crisis even worse. They decide that if Mexican Peso depreciates by more than 20%, the central bank will step in and fix the exchange rate. As the crisis unfolds the demand for the U.S. dollars increases to 142-e and the supply of dollars falls to 99+ e How should the central 'N' bank of Mexico react to this change? N O A. start selling U.S. dollars to support the exchange rate O B. start buying U.S. dollars to support the exchange rate O C. reduce money supply in the economy O D. do nothing

Assume that initially nominal exchange rate is E1=4 ($1 = ±4) and domestic (Turkey) inflation rate is TTR=10% percent while the US inflation rate is tUS*=0%. If %3D export value of Turkey equals ± 200 billion and it's import is $80 billion. Initially Turkey NX (net export) would display t billion deficit. If the nominal exchange rate increases suddenly from E1=4 to E2=5,5 while the price levels are still fixed (at the first step of J Curve) NX would be t billion deficit in short run. If the real exchange rate elasticity of export is 0,4 and real exchange rate elasticity of import is -0,4. NX would converge to t billion deficit in long run.
