Suppose you are a British venture capitalist holding a major stake in an e-commerce start-up in Silicon Valley. As a British resident, you are concerned with the pound value of your U.S. equity position. Assume that if the American economy booms in the future, your equity stake will be worth $901, and the exchange rate will be $1.28/£. If the American economy experiences a recession, on the other hand, your American equity stake will be worth $817, and the exchange rate will be $1.43/£. You assess that the American economy will experience a boom with a 50 percent probability and a recession with the remaining probability.Estimate the expected value of the property in GBP (as XXX.XXX)

True/False and Explain An increase in savings implies a decrease in consumption and therefore a decrease in GDP. The exchange rate between two countries can be thought of as unrelated to any economic variables. If the real rate of return on investment is higher in the US than in Canada, capital will tend to flow out of the US and into Canada. When nominal interest rates are zero, the central bank can still lower them by printing money and purchasing bonds from banks. This increases the supply of loanable funds and stimulates lending. A pro-savings policy by the US would likely reduce the US trade deficit. When savings equals investment, reducing savings and increasing consumption is especially effective in stimulating output. In the dynamic AS-AD model, a perfectly inelastic aggregate supply curve means the central bank cannot control the rate of output growth or the inflation rate. 8. There are an infinite number of combinations of real interest rates and inflation rates…
