1. Suppose that consumers become pessimistic about the future outlook of the Canadian economy, and so cut back on their consumption spending. What will happen to aggregate demand and to output? What might the executive and the parliament have to do to keep output stable?2. Explain how an increase in the price level changes interest rates. How does this change in interest rates lead to changes in investment and net exports?3. Suppose a bottle of wine costs 25 euros in...
please answer all parts of question 6. 6.5) Other things equal, and assuming efficient markets, if a Honda Accord costs $21,375 in the U.S. then at an exchange rate of $1.23/€, the Honda Accord should cost i n France. 6.5) €17,378.05 6.6) One year ago the spot rate of U.S. dollars for Canadian dollars was $1/C$1. Since that time the rate of inflation in the U.S. has been 3% less than that in Canada. Based on the theory of Relative...
The graph below shows demand and supply curves for U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange market. As you can see, the exchange rate (in terms of foreign currency units per dollar) is initially equal to E0. Suppose that next year there’s a huge increase in the number of foreigners – from Europe, China, and everywhere else – who decide to visit the U.S. as tourists. How would this huge increase in tourism in the U.S. affect the exchange rate? To answer this,...
2. (18 points) State whether each of the following statement is TRUE OR FALSE, and then briefly explain your answers (the explanation is what counts). 2.1. If the Fed lowers discount rate, it will shift LM curve to the right because it increases money demand. 2.2. When an economy is in the liquidity trap, neither monetary policy nor fiscal policy is effective in getting the economy out of recession. 2.3. Money demand is related to the functions performed by money....
Can someone please answer this! Question 2) a. (10 points) Suppose that the South African interest rate is 4% and the U.S. interest rate is 6%. If the expected future spot exchange rate one year from now is FRand's = 6.05 Rand per dollar and uncovered interest rate parity holds, what must the current spot exchange rate be in order to clear the foreign exchange market? b. (10 points) Suppose that the expected future spot rate is 6.25 rather than...
IS-LM-FX Model with Floating Exchange Rate [20 points 3 For each of the following situations use the IS-LM-FX model to illustrate, first, the effects of the temporary shock and then the policy response. (Note: Assume the central bank responds by using monetary policy to stabilize output (ie. to keep it at the initial equilibrium)) Label A the initial equilibrium, B the short-run equilibrium without policy response, and C the equilibrium after the response of the central bank. For each case,...
Question 5 (15 points) In each graph below identify the equilibrium Price Level and Level of Real GDP, label the equilibrium points P1 and GDP 1. On graph 1 show the impacts of COST PUSH inflation on the equilibrium level of prices and output. Label the new equilibrium points P2 and GDP2 On graph 2 show the impacts of an increase in Aggregate Demand on the equilibrium level of prices and output? Label the new equilibrium P3 and GDP3 Graph...
Figure 13-2 Real Interest Rate Supply of Loarable Funds World interest rate, o Derrand for Loanable Funds Quantity of Loanable Funds Real Exchange Rate Supply of Canadian Dollars (5-1) Quantity of Dollars Refer to the Figure 13-2. If the interest rate was initially at ro and an import quota was imposed, what would happen to the real interest rate? It would decrease because demand would shift left. It would decrease because supply would shift right. It would not change because...
Uncovered Interest Parity Explain the uncovered interest parity equation. (Write it and explain it). a. b. Why would we expect it to hold? l.e. what would happen if the equation does not hold? Assume the expected $/Yen exchange rate is 0.01 dollars per yen. Further assume that the US interest rate is 8% and the Japanese interest rate is 3%. According to uncovered interest parity, what would be the current S/Yen exchange rate? Show work. c. Uncovered Interest Parity Explain...
2. (20 points) According to classical macroeconomics policy, money supply shocks are "neutral" (a) Explain what this means. (b) Based on that theory, how would a 5% increase in a nation's money supply affect its real wage rate (), all else equal? I (c) According to the quantatity of money, how would a 5% increase in money supply affect the price of goods and services (P), all else equal? (d) To be consistent with both theories, what would have to...
