Suppose that last year, the nominal exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the British pound was ¥150.0 per £1.0, one unit of Japanese output cost ¥1300, and one unit of British output cost £8.0.a. What was the real exchange rate between the U.K. and Japan last year, expressed as the cost of British output (i.e. – the quantity of Japanese output that exchanges for 1 unit of British output)? In which country were goods more expensive last year?
Suppose that the government of China is currently fixing the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan at a rate of $1 = 6 yuan. Also suppose that at this exchange rate, the people who want to convert dollars to yuan are asking to convert $10 billion per day of dollars into yuan, while the people who are wanting to convert yuan into dollars are asking to convert 36 billion yuan into dollars. What will happen to the size of China’s official reserves of dollars? a. Increase. b. Decrease. c. Stay the same.

12. suppose that the 2-year interest rates in the US(foreign) and KRW (domestic) are 1.5% and 3%, respectively. The current spot exchange rate is 1150 KRW per USD. The 2-year foward exchange rate should be F0 = 1150e^2(3%-1.5%) = 1185 Explain what strategy can be considered to have riskless profit if F0 is less or greater that 1185 Case 1 : F0 = 1200 Case 2 : F0 = 1130
6. In the exchange rate model in Example 7.2, supposethe company continues to manufacture its product inthe United States, but now it sells its product in theUnited States, the United Kingdom, and possibly othercountries. The company can independently set its pricein each country where it sells. For example, the pricecould be $150 in the United States and £110 in theUnited Kingdom. You can assume that the demandfunction in each country is of the constant elasticityform, each with its own parameters. The question iswhether the company can use Solver independently ineach country to find the optimal price in this country.(You should be able to answer this question withoutactually running any Solver model(s), but you mightwant to experiment, just to verify your reasoning.)
Each of the governments of Brazil and Turkey has issued bonds in Brazilian real (BRL) and Turkish lira (TRY), respectively. Assume that both government securities are one-year bonds, i.e., paying the face value of the bond one year from now. Suppose that the exchange rate, E, stands at 1 Brazilian real per 0.79 Turkish lira. The following table gives face values and prices of both bonds: Face Value Price Brazil BRL 10,000 BRL 9,630 Turkey TRY 10,000 TRY 9,450 Compute the nominal interest rate on each of the bonds. Compute the expected exchange rate next year consistent with uncovered interest parity. If you expect the real to depreciate relative to the lira, which bond should you buy? Assume that you are a Brazilian investor. You exchange the reals for liras and purchase the Turkish bond. One year from now, it turns out that the exchange rate, E, is 0.75, i.e., 0.75 liras buy one real. What is your realized rate of return in reals compared to the realized rate of return…
