Suppose the current exchange rate is 115 yen per dollar. We currently have a demand for 50 units of our product when the unit price is 800 yen. The cost of producing and shipping the product to Japan is $6, and the current elasticity of demand is –2.5. Find the optimal price to charge for the product (in yen) for each of the following exchange rates: 60 yen/$, 80 yen/$, 100 yen/$, 120 yen/$, 140 yen/$, and 160 yen/$. Assume the demand function is linear. Exchange Rate Price 60 80 100 120 140 160

Peru is growing relatively quickly and has begun to attract large inflows of foreign direct investment. While Peru relishes the benefit of the inflows, it is concerned about the potential negative effects if the foreign investors pull out their investments quickly. One particular reason for Peru to be concerned is that its banks have taken out large loans denominated in U.S. dollars and European euros from foreign banks. If the foreign direct investment is withdrawn quickly from Peru, what will be the effect on each of these items? A. Peru's money supply - B. Peru's exchange rate with other countries - C. Peru's exports - D. Peru's trade deficit - Answer Bank: No Effect, Increase or Decrease
occurs when a company exports to a foreign market at a price that is either lower than the domestic prices in that country or less than the cost of production.
An expected decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. means there will be less imports into the U.S. Less imports in the U.S. translates to a reduction in exports from China, which is significant as the U.S. has the largest GDP of all nations. As the U.S. is reducing imports, it will be purchasing less goods from China, which means the U.S. will be giving up less dollars to purchase Chinese goods with the yuan. Will a decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. impact China's economy given the above information? If so, how would that affect the dollar-yuan exchange rate?
If Boeing’s dollar aircraft prices increase 20 percent and the yen/dollar exchange rate declines 15 percent, what effective price increase is facing Japan Air Lines for the purchase of a Boeing 747? Would Boeing’s margin likely rise or fall if the yen then depreciated and competitor prices were unchanged? Why?
Suppose the foreign exchange market is characterized by the following equations: Qd = 12.5 – 1.25R Qs = 3.5 + 1.25R where Qd is the demand function for foreign exchange, Qs is supply function of foreign exchange, and R is exchange rate in units of domestic currency per unit of foreign currency (quantity is in million units of foreign currency). ===================== The foreign exchange market described above is Select one: stable unstable unpredictable none of the above
Egypt exports of soaps, lubricants, and waxes, to Kenya was US$22.63 Million during 2019, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade. Egypt exports of soaps witnessed a steady decline since 2017, and there is lots of potential demand in many other african nations for Egyptians soap.Last March 2020 the Ministry of Industry and Trade decided to exclude soap bars, shampoo, and tissue paper in the form of jumbo rolls "production requirements" from Resolution 187 of 2020 to stop the export of masks and protective supplies.Minister of Trade and Industry Nevein Gamea issued two decisions to stop exporting all of the surgical masks ("face masks") and the requirements to prevent infection and alcohol of all kinds and derivatives, for a period of 3 months starting from the date of publishing the decisions in the Egyptian Gazette.H.E. Mrs. Gamea said that these two decisions aim to provide the needs of the Egyptian citizen with these products, especially in light of…
Consider a small, open economy inhabited by a large number of individuals who live for an infinite number of periods and who can perfectly forecast the future. In this economy there is only one good, tradable at no cost, such that its domestic price is determined by the Law of One Price, P(t) 5 S(t)F, where PðtÞ is the domestic price of the good and PF is the foreign price of the good, which we will assume is equal to 1. Time is continuous and the economy is endowed with a constant and exogenous flow of the consumption good. There is perfect mobility of capital in the sense that agents can lend or borrow at the international interest rate of i > 0, which we assume as constant. The real money supply is defined as where M(t) is the nominal money supply. This economy finances an exogenous fiscal deficit, a. Show that the rate of growth of the real stock of money is equal to the difference between the rate of growth of money supply and inflation. b. Assume that the…
Let us consider the case of Good X in Malaysia. The demand and supply functions for Good X in Malaysia are Demand function: QD=361−2P Supply function: QS=23+P If the world price is 70, then is Malaysia an importer or exporter? Find out the number of imports at Pw=70 (Please give your answers in two decimal places. ) If the import quota was 80 units what will be the new price in the Malaysian market? (Please give your answers in two decimal places.) How many Good X will be produced domestically after the quota has been implemented? (Please give your answers in two decimal places.) How many Good X will be consumed by domestic consumers after the quota has been implemented? (Please give your answers in two decimal places.)

Suppose the current spot exchange rate for the Chinese yuan is USD 0.15 per CNY. If the domestic prices of traded goods rise 70% over the next 10 years in China and 30% over the same period in the United States, then, according to the relative purchasing power parity hypothesis, the spot exchange rate for the yuan in 10 years will be approximately: USD 0.35 per CNY USD 0.60 per CNY USD 0.11 per CNY
The following equations describe the original demand and supply of the Australian dollar relative to the Japanese yen: Qd=100-0.3e Qs=20+0.7e Here, e measures the number of Japanese yen per Australian dollar. Severe bushfires in Australia cause a fall in Japanese tourists to Australia and an increase in Australian tourists to Japan. Select the combination of demand and supply curves from among the following possibilities that best reflect the impact of the bushfires. (i) Qd=120-0.3e (ii) Qd=80-0.3e (iii) Qs=10+0.7e (iv) Qs=30+0.7e a. (ii) and (iii) b. (i) and (iii) c. (i) and (iv) d. (i) and (ii) e. (ii) and (iv)
If Boeing's dollar aircraft prices increase 25% and the yen/dollar exchange rate declines 15%, Japan Air Lines is effectively facing a price increase of 40, 2, or 10 % for the purchase of a Boeing 747. Boeing's margin would likely rise or fall if the yen depreciated and competitor prices were unchanged.
Assume the exchange rate is 20 pesos for a dollar. The dollar is expected to depreciate to 15 pesos for a dollar. An investor exchanges an unspecified amount of dollars for pesos. Then, once the dollar has depreciated, the investor converts his pesos into dollars. The investor earns a profit of $7. The original amount of dollars exchanged for pesos was
