The following table gives the exchange rates of the South African Rand and the US
dollar (USD) against the pound sterling (GBP). The exchange rates are defined as the
number of Rand or USD per 1 GBP. Answer parts (a), (b), and (c) based on this data,
then answer part (d).

(a)
Did the Rand appreciate or depreciate against the GBP in 2016?
(b)
Did the Rand appreciate or depreciate against the USD in 2016?
(c)
If the UK is the home country, how do expect net exports between UK and
South Africa to have changed in 2016?
(d) Two hypothetical countries A and B are identical in every way except B has a
higher proportion of credit-constrained households. Suppose, that
simultaneously, both countries experience an equivalent increase in demand for
their exports. Would the countries experience the same change in national
income, or would they be different?
The base year in a country for the calculation of national income data is 2012. Real GDP in this country grows at the rate of 5 percent per year. The GDP deflator in this country increases at the rate of 2 percent per year. If the real GDP in this country in 2011 was 20,000 manats, what would be the value of nominal GDP in 2013?
Nominal GDP in 2013 = manats.
Do you know what country uses manat as its currency?
Part B: The base year in a country for the calculation of national income data is 2012. Real GDP in this country grows at the rate of 5 percent per year. Nominal GDP in this country increases at the rate of 8 percent per year. If the real GDP in this country in 2011 was 50,000 tenges, what would be the value of GDP deflator in 2013?
GDP deflator in 2013 = tenges.
Do you know what country uses tenge as its currency?

(Round your response to two decimal places and use a minus sign if necessary.) If banks expect that the rate of inflation in the coming year will be 4.65% and they want a real return of 7.5% on a certain category of loans, then the nominal rate they should charge borrowers on those loans is .......???%.

The U.S. GDP in 2008 was approximately $14 trillion, and the U.S. population was approximately 300 million. What was the per capita GDP in the United States in 2008? Suppose that in the local currency, Argonian dollars, Argonia’s GDP in 2008 was 1 trillion, and its population was 10 million. What was Argonia’s GDP per capita in Argonian dollars? What problems do you foresee in comparing this number to the U.S. GDP per capita in U.S. dollars computed in part (a)? The Argonian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate was equal to 6 on January 1, 2008 (meaning that 1 U.S. dollar was worth 6 Argonian dollars) and reached 9 on August 1, 2008. Compute an exchange-rate-based measure of the GDP per capita in Argonia in U.S. dollars on these two dates. Do you think the change in Argonia’s exchange-rate-based measure of GDP per capita…arrow_forward
