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.)
10 Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. A number of factors have contributed to the performance of the South African economy. Firstly, the sizeable monetary injection into the local economy as a stimulus due to COVID economic pressures has given a boost to household disposable incomes over the course of 2021. The depreciation of the exchange rate in 2021 year also provided a boost to the domestic economy. Based on the information in the paragraph above, where is the South African economy in the economic cycle as per the figure above? a. contraction b. trough c. expansion d. peak

If the exchange rate is 1.20 euros per Singaporean dollars, What is the realexchange rate?2. Suppose the economy is in recession. Policymakers estimate that aggregate demand is$100 billion short of the amount necessary to generate the long run natural rate of output.That is, if aggregate demand were shifted to the right by $100 billion, the economy wouldbe in long run equilibrium.a. Explain the impact on the economy if the government chooses to use fiscal policy tostabilize the economy and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is given as0.75 with no crowding out.b. If there is a crowding out effect and investment is very sensitive to changes in theinterest rate, should the government increase spending more or less than this amount?3.

1. Consider an economy described by the following equations;Y = C + I + G +NXY = 5,000G = 1,000T = 1,000C = 250 + 0.75(Y–T)I = 1,000 – 50rNX = 500 – 500εr = r*=5%a) In this economy, solve for national saving, investment, trade balance and the equilibriumexchange rate.b) Suppose now that G rises to 1,200. Solve for national saving, investment, trade balance andthe equilibrium exchange rate and trade balance.
