Consider the gold standard topic and consider that this time new gold mines are found and gold is subject to trading as 1 Ounce of Gold = 15.00 ounces of Silver in the foreign market instead of 1 Ounce Gold = 15.5 Ounce Silver. Clearly indicate the processes of how bad money drives out good money. How does Gresham's Law work in this case and how can the arbitrager make a profit? You also need to show numerically how the profit to be obtained in your example is calculated.

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.)

Economists John Maynard Keynes and John Hicks argued that, if hedgers tend to holdshort positions and speculators tend to hold long positions, the futures price of an assetwill be below the expected spot price. This is because speculators require compensationfor the risks they are bearing. They will trade only if they can expect to make money onaverage. Hedgers will lose money on average, but they are likely to be prepared toaccept this because the futures contract reduces their risks This is from John Maynard Keynes. My question is i dont understand this statement. Why is the future price of an asset to be below the expected spot price if speculators are the main determinant of the future price, they have a long contract which means they will earn money if the spot price is above the expected spot price
