Initially, the Canadian economy is at a long-run equilibrium, denoted by E on the graph at the right. Suppose that mad cow disease occurs in Canada, which leads to a reduction in the world demand for Canadian beef products. A reduction in the demand for Canadian beef products implies a reduction in the supply of foreign currency in Canada, which results in the depreciation of the Canadian dollar. If the dollar's movement is not corrected as would be the case under a flexible exchange rate system, there will be stimulation to the demand for other Canadian exports, dampening the shift of the AD curve relative to the case with the fixed exchange rate system. Assuming there is a flexible exchange rate system, the new aggregate demand curve will be CD Price Level (P) E Yf ASO ADO AD1 AD₂ Real GDP (Y)

Suppose Angola is experiencing an episode of hyperinflation. The currency in Angola is the second kwanza (which is actually the fourth currency called kwanza that has circulated since 1977). The currency code is (AOA). Select all choices below that are implied by the statement if parity conditions (PPP, IRP, FEP) hold: Nominal interest rates in Angola will exceed nominal interest rates in countries not experiencing hyperinflation. The value of the AOA is expected to drop to zero. Real interest rates in Angola will fall relative to countries without hyperinflation. The AOA is expected to depreciate against any currencies that are not experiencing hyperinflation.
To prevent an appreciation of the British pound, the U.S. Federal Reserve has to: Sell U.S. currency Buy British currency Sell British currency Devalue the U.S. dollar
Suppose that at some point the spot exchange rate is equal to 100 yen per one U.S. dollar, while the interest rate in dollars is 6% and the interest rate in yen is 1%. What is the approximate forward rate that is consistent with this situation?
Country X is a major oil exporter. It has a floating exchange rate system and has managed to maintain current account surpluses for some time, which it used to build up its foreign exchange reserves over the years. Oil prices suddenly fall from around $100 a barrel to $29 a barrel in the course of a single year, making a huge dent in the country's ability to earn foreign exchange from its exports. The government first considers the drop in oil prices temporary and decides to draw down its reserves to finance the emerging deficit in its current account and to support the country's currency. However, domestic and foreign investors, seeing a looming currency crisis and an eventual depreciation of the country's currency start converting their assets into foreign exchange and pulling their money out of the country, putting further pressure on the value of the country's currency, but the government continues to support the currency by using its vast reserves. Eventually, as the reserves…
Assume that in 2010, Country A had an exchange rate of 0.770.77 units of national currency (UNC) per U.S. dollar (USD). By 2015, Country A's budget deficit increased, and Country A decided to issue bonds to finance the deficit. As a result, the exchange rate changed by UNC0.06UNC⁢0.06. Calculate the 2015 exchange rate.

Relative inflation rates affect interest rates, exchange rates, the overall economic health of a country, and the operations and profitability of multinational companies. Consider the following statement: Countries with lower inflation rates will have lower interest rates. If companies borrow from countries with low interest rates, the potential gains from the interest savings will likely be (multiplied or offset) by the losses from currency appreciation.
At the start of 1996, the annual interest rate was 8 percent in the United States and 4.8 percent in Japan. The exchange rate was 110 yen per dollar at the time. Mr. Jorus, who is the manager of a Bermuda-based hedge fund, thought that the substantial interest advantage associated with investing in the United States relative to investing in Japan was not likely to be offset by the decline of the dollar against the yen. He thus concluded that it might be a good idea to borrow in Japan and invest in the United States. At the start of 1996, in fact, he borrowed ¥1,000 million for one year and invested in the United States. At the end of 1996, the exchange rate became 120 yen per dollar. How much profit did Mr. Jorus make in dollar terms?
According to the purchasing-power-parity theory, the U.S. dollar maintains its purchasing-power parity if it depreciates by an amount equal to the excess of: Question 3 options: a) Foreign inflation over U.S. inflation b) Foreign interest rates over U.S. interest rates c) U.S. interest rates over foreign interest rates d) U.S. inflation over foreign inflation
The nominal money supply is growing by 5 percent annually in the United States and 10 percent annually in Kenya, while real GDP is rising by 2.5 percent annually in the United States and 5.5 percent annually in Kenya. Using the simple monetary model of exchange-rate determination, please estimate the percentage change, if any, needed in the dollar-shilling (Ksh) exchange rate for it to reach a long-run equilibrium (assuming that the currencies were in equilibrium at the outset). Be sure to include the relevant equation in your answer, and indicate whether the dollar will appreciate, depreciate, or hold its value versus the shilling. (Hint: the percentage is a round number.) Please use the uncovered interest parity approximation to answer the following question: (a) If the return on euro deposits (i€) is 1%, the expected dollar-euro exchange rate (Ee$/€) is 1.30, and dollar-euro spot rate (E$/€) falls to 1.25, what is the new equilibrium return on dollar deposits (i$)?

Relative inflation rates affect interest rates, exchange rates, the overall economic health of a country, and the operations and profitability of multinational companies. Consider the following statement: Countries with lower inflation rates will have lower interest rates. Based on your understanding of the relationship between relative inflation rates and exchange rates, identify whether the preceding statement is valid or invalid. The statement is invalid, because the nominal interest rate is independent of the inflation rate. The statement is valid, because the nominal interest rate is the sum of the real interest rate plus inflation, so lower inflation rates would result in lower interest rates.
