Suppose the Australian dollar floats against the US dollar and the demand for Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market is given by Q = 125 - 50E where Q denotes the quantity of AUD and E denotes the nominal exchange rate expressed in USD per AUD.  The supply of Australian dollars is given by Q = 25 + 50E. What is the equilibrium nominal exchange rate? 0.751.250.501.00

Consider the following open economy. The real exchange rate is fixed and equal to one. Consumption, investment, government spending, and taxes are given by:C = 8 + 0.6(Y - T), I = G = T = 0.Imports/ exports are given by:Q = 0.4Y, X = 0.4Y*,where an asterisk denotes a foreign variable a. Suppose that the domestic country takes foreign income Y* as given. The equilibrium output in the domestic economy is? b. Following a), if the domestic government increases spending by 6 units (i.e., G increases from 0 to 6), the equilibrium output in the domestic country will increase by ____. and the trade balance will ________ (increase/decrease) by _____. c. Assume the foreign economy has the same equations as the domestic economy. Both governments consider the impact of the other country on the domestic economy. If G=0, then the equilibrium output in both countries is ______ and the trade balance is ______. d. Following c), if the domestic government increases spending by 6 units as in b) and G=0…

Accel Co. produces a standard tennis racket in the Netherlands and sells it online to consumers in the United States. This racket competes with a tennis racket produced by Malibu Co. in the United States, which is of similar quality and is priced at about $140. Accel has set the price of its tennis racket at 100 euros. Assuming that the euro's exchange rate (during the sales month in question) was $1.60, then the price of Accel's racket to U.S. consumers is $_________ (enter a whole number). Because U.S. consumers could buy a Malibu racket for only $140, Accel only sold about 1,000 rackets to U.S. consumers in that month. Since then, however, the euro's value has weakened; this month, the euro's exchange rate is only $1.20. U.S. consumers can now purchase the Accel tennis racket for $_________(enter a whole number), which is less than that charged for the U.S. Malibu racket. In this month, Accel sold 5,000 rackets. The U.S. demand for this tennis racket is price-elastic (sensitive to…

If the nominal exchange rate e is foreign currency per dollar, the domestic price is P, and the foreign price is P*, what is the definition of the real exchange rate?

If a "Big Mac costs $4.00 in the United States and 200 yen in Japan, then the implied "purchasing-power-parity" exchange rate using the "Big Mac" is __________. If the actual exchange rate in the market is 120 yen = $1, then an economist would say that the actual Japanese yen is __________ in comparison with its "purchasing-power-parity" rate.

The figure below illustrates the market for Bahamian dollars, where the price of the Bahamian dollar is valued in U.S. dollars. Assume that the Bahamian government wants to peg its currency to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio (one U.S. dollar = one Bahamian dollar). But the current exchange rate is at 90 cents (10 cents below the official peg). What must the Bahamian central bank do to return to the $1 exchange rate A. It would need to reduce the demand for the Bahamlan dollar. B. It would need to reduce the supply of the Bahamian dollar. C. It would need to Increase the supply of the Bahamian dollar. D. It would need to Increase the demand for the Bahamlan dollar. Part 2 Suppose you are a U.S. student and are thinking about visiting the Bahamas for spring break. You would rather the central bank intervened ___ (before or after) spring break. Part 3 Suppose that currently, the exchange rate is 1 Bahamian dollar for 1 U.S. dollar. The price of a Big Mac is $5 in the United States and 3.00…

If the money supply in Mexico is increasing much more rapidly than the money supply in the United States, holding other factors constant, what would you predict will happen to the nominal exchange rate between the Mexican peso and the United States dollar if purchasing-power parity (PPP) holds? Explain.

There is a flexible exchange rate system and only two countries in the world, the United States and Mexico. If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that both the dollar and the peso will appreciate, although the peso will appreciate before the dollar appreciates. both the dollar and the peso will depreciate, although the peso will depreciate before the dollar depreciates. the dollar will appreciate, and the peso will depreciate. There is not enough information to answer the question. the dollar will depreciate, and the peso will appreciate.
