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.)

In the Keynesian model, an introduction of a proportional tax will: (a) increase the slope of the consumption function.(b) reduce the multiplier.(c) increase the equilibrium level of income.(d) increase the multiplier. A decrease in the price level will: (a) shift the AS curve to the left.(b) shift the AD curve to the…
