Suppose the U.S. has an investment opportunity which costs $200 which will increase output from 100 to 110 per quarter. The investment would take effect after t = 0. What is the marginal product of capital (MPK)? What is the difference in the present value of future income in the U.S. of undertaking the investment if the real world interest rate is 8%? Should the U.S. borrow from abroad to fund the investment and why?

Consider a country with no capital mobility and flexible exchange rates. a. Solve for the exchange rate that clears the trade balance as a function of the level of income, Y. (Assume that the trade balance is in the form T =T, + øq– mY where øis a positive constant and q = (eP*/P)). b. Solve for the level of income as a function of all exogenous variables. In what way does the multiplier differ from all other open economy multipliers computed before?
