Use the FX market diagram to answer the following question. Consider the relationship between the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar (C$). Let the exchange rate be deÖned as Mexican pesos per Canadian dollar, Epesos=C$. For each of the following cases, illustrate the e§ects on the FX market using graphs and state how the following variables change: interest rates in Mexico (ipeso) and Canada (iC$), the spot exchange rate (Epesos=C$), and the expected rate of return on Canadian and Mexican deposits (from the perspective of a Mexican investor). Unless otherwise noted, you may assume that the expected exchange rate is unchanged. (a) Canadaís interest rate increases. (b) Investors in the market anticipate an appreciation in the peso. (c) Mexicoís interest rate decreases.

The exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another currency. An exchange rate specifies how many units of one country's currency are needed to buy one unit of another country's currency. Suppose the following table forecasts exchange rate data for May 21, 2018, in terms of U.S. dollars per unit of foreign currency. Use the information in the table to answer the questions that follow. Foreign Currency Cost of One Unit of Foreign Currency (Dollars) Lithuanian litas (LTL) 0.3666 Canadian dollar (CAD) 0.8493 Euro (EUR) 1.3288 Mexican peso (MXN) 0.0889 United Kingdom pound (GBP) 1.8965 Suppose that on May 21, 2018, an ornamental bookcase handmade in the United Kingdom is priced at GBP 530. The approximate U.S. dollar price of the bookcase would be . If the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar–U.K. pound rises from $1.8965 to $2.2758 per U.K. pound, the U.S. dollar in value, or , relative to the U.K. pound.
Use the money market and FX diagrams to answer the following questions. This question considers the relationship between the Indian rupee (Rs) and the U.S. dollar ($). The exchange rate is in rupees per dollar, ERs/$. On all graphs, label the initial equilibrium point A. a. Illustrate how a permanent increase in India’s money supply affects the money and FX markets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equilibrium point C. b. By plotting them on a chart with time on the horizontal axis, illustrate how each of the following variables changes over time (for India): nominal money supply MIN, price level PIN, real money supply MIN/PIN, interest rate iRs, and the exchange rate ERs/$. c. Using your previous analysis, state how each of the following variables changes in the short run (increase/decrease/no change): India’s interest rate iRs, ERs/$, expected exchange rate EeRs/$, and price level PIN. d. Using your previous analysis, state how each of the…

Question 4Use the money market and FX diagrams to answer the following questions about the relationshipbetween the British pound and the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate is in U.S. dollars per Britishpound, E$/pound. We want to consider how a change in the U.S. money supply affects interestrates and exchange rates. On all graphs, label the initial equilibrium point A.(a) Illustrate how a temporary increase in the U.S. money supply affects the money and FXmarkets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equilibrium point C.(b) Using your diagram from (a), state how each of the following variables changes in theshort run (increase/decrease/no change): U.S. interest rate, British interest rate, E$/pound,Ee$/pound, and the U.S. price level P.(c) Using your diagram from (a), state how each of the following variables changes in thelong run (increase/decrease/no change relative to their initial values at point A): U.S. interestrate, British interest rate, E$/pound, Ee$/pound,…
in fall 2011 the euro dollar exchange rate was $1.35 and by spring 2015 it strenghthed to $1.10 .

Assume that you are studying exchange rates between India and the US. Assume that the equilibrium exchange rate in India is 76 Indian rupees per US dollar. Now suppose that the inflation rate falls in India. Which of the following choices shows a change we would expect to see in the Indian forex market? The demand for the US dollar would rise, leading to a depreciation of the Indian rupee. The demand for the Indian rupee would increase leading to an appreciation of the US dollar. The supply of the Indian rupee would rise leading to an appreciation of the Indian rupee. The supply of the US dollar would rise leading to an appreciation of the Indian rupee
Derive the AD curve (representing medium run combinations of real exchange rate and output, where goods market is in equilibrium and r = r*) from the IS curve. Hint: think about how changes in the real exchange rate affect the IS curve. To derive the AD, map the combinations of q and y on each IS curve at r = r*. Please provide an illustration of the mapping and the deriving of the AD.
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.)

A. Copy the diagram. Then illustrate and explain in the diagram how an interest rate increase in the money market and foreign exchange market model affects the exchange rate in the short run.
