Introduction:
Translation exposure is a risk that is associated on the changes in exchange rates. Here, when Country U based companies are operated in foreign countries there assets, liabilities, equities, or net income values that changes due to the fluctuations in exchange rates.
In this case exchange rate variability is highly important for fixing the value for balance sheet items. The risk related with exchange rate on balance sheet items is called as transition exposure.

Problem 2: Monetary Theory [13 Points]
Suppose that an economy begins in long-run equilibrium. Suppose also that there is an increase
in Aggregate Demand (AD) as a result of an increase in Net Exports (NX).
9. Does the economy enter an inflationary gap or a recessionary gap? Explain your answer
using an AD-AS figure. [2 points]
10. What happen to Money Demand as a result of this shift in the AD-AS model. Does this
create a surplus or shortage in the Money Market? Does this create a surplus or a
shortage in the bond market? Explain your answer using a MD-MS figure. [3 points]
11. If the Central Bank wants to prevent further inflation, what action could it take? What
does it need to do with the Money Supply (MS) to maintain equilibrium in the money
market? Explain your answer using both an AD-AS figure and a MD-MS figure. [3 points]
12. If the Central Bank knew that there would be a lag between their decision and their effect
on AD, how would this change your answer to Q11 (if at all)?…
