Assume that the total value of investment
transactions between the United States and
Mexico is minimal. Also, assume that the total
dollar value of trade transactions between
these two countries is very large. Now assume
that Mexico's inflation has suddenly
increased, and Mexican interest rates have
suddenly increased.
a) Please draw a graph to show how the
equilibrium value of Mexican Pesos will
change.
b) What's more important for Mexican Pesos
given the circumstances, change in interest
rates, or change in inflation in Mexico?
8. (LO 3) Suppose that a certain type of SUV costs $32 000 in Canada, but sells for 18 000 British pounds in the
United Kingdom, and that the nominal exchange rate is 1 Canadian dollar = 0.45 British pounds.
a) What is the value of the real exchange rate?
b) In which country is the SUV cheaper?
Suppose that the euro is trading at $1.50 per euro in the foreign exchange market. Next, suppose that the exchange rate falls to $1.26 per euro, due
to falling interest rates in the eurozone.
The following graph shows the supply and demand curves for dollars in the foreign exchange market.
On the following graph, shift either the supply curve for dollars or the demand curve for dollars to reflect the influence of "carry trade" (in isolation
from other factors that may affect the exchange rate) on the exchange rate for dollars. (Hint: Carefully consider which price is measured on the
vertical axis and which currency is being measured on the horizontal axis.)

- Suppose that you hold a piece of land in the city of London that you may want to sell in one year. As a U.S. resident, you are concerned with the dollar value of the land. Assume that if the British economy booms in the future, the land will be worth £2,000, and one British pound will be worth $3.20. If the British economy slows down, on the other hand, the land will be worth less, say, £1,500, but the pound will be stronger, say, $3.30 per pound. You feel that the British economy will experience a boom with a 60 percent probability and a slowdown with a 40 percent probability. Required: Estimate your exposure (b) to the exchange risk. Note: Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Compute the variance of the dollar value of your property that is attributable to exchange rate uncertainty.arrow_forward10) Assume the overall US market price for retail chocolate is $7.00 per pound, and in order to attract "Chocoholic Tourists" from Europe, the Hershey company decides to lower its price to $6.00 per pound.

- 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?arrow_forwardYou are going to Japan on an exchange trip in a few months and need to turn your dollars into the Japanese currency, the yen. Right now the exchange rate is $1 = 105 yen, but you expect the dollar to appreciate next month and it should be valued at $1= 107 yen. If you exchange $200 for yen today, how many yen will you receive? Explain. If you decide to wait and exchange your dollars when they are worth $1= 107 yen, how many yen will you receive? Explain. Based on this information, should you exchange your money now or wait a few months? Explain.arrow_forwardSuppose that Argentina's dollar-denominated external assets and liabilities are $10 billion and $100 billion, respectively, and its Argentine peso-denominated external assets are 70 billion pesos (P) and peso-denominated external liabilities are 50 billion pesos (P). Suppose further that Argentina fixes its exchange rate at P1.5 = $US1. a) What is the peso value of Argentina's total external wealth? Is it a net debtor or creditor? b) Suppose that Argentina changes its exchange rate to P2.3 = $US1. How does the external wealth of Argentina change when this occurs?arrow_forward
