- 6. Assume that you obtain a quote for a one-year forward rate on the Argentinian peso. Assume that Argentina’s one-year interest rate is 50 percent, while the U.S. one-year interest rate is 10 percent. Over the next year, the peso depreciates by 25 percent. Do you think the forward rate overestimated the spot rate one year ahead in this case? Explain.arrow_forwardPlease no written by hand solutions Question 1: State whether each of the following statements is true or false. Justify for all statements and illustrate graphically/numerically whenever necessary. 1. The steeper the supply and demand curves for a certain commodity, the lower the trade and revenue effects of a tariff imposed on imports of such commodity. 2. With a positive nominal tariff on the final commodity, more of the commodity is produced domestically than would be under free trade. 3. If imported inputs constitute half the value of the final commodity and are admitted duty free, then the rate of effective protection is equal to the nominal tariff rate on the final commodity. 4. Export subsidies can be regarded as a form of dumping.arrow_forwardSuppose demand and supply are given by: (LO3, LO4)Qx d = 14 − 1/2Px and Qx s = 1/4Px − 1c.

- Mexico has labor laws that specify a daily (rather than hourly) minimum wage.

U.S. investors will earn a higher rate of return when using covered interest arbitrage than what they would earn in the United States. O c. British investors who invest in the United Kingdom will achieve the same return as U.S. investors who invest in the United States. O d. U.S. investors will earn 15 percent whether they use covered interest arbitrage or invest in the United States.arrow_forward6-Look at a country’s Terms of Trade (T.O.T.). It is assumed that when the T.O.T. value increases the country’s wellbeing goes up, and when the T.O.T. value declines, the country’s wellbeing is reduced. Do you agree??? Explain!!! Among others you stated: “Trade between countries highly depends upon terms of trade. T.O.T. has important effects on the balance of payments or on its economic growth so the T.O.T. is used to measure the wellbeing of the country.” Further down though…you refute your previous statement by saying: “But T.O.T. should not be used to calculate wellbeing as its calculation does not show the volume of export of the country, only shows relative changes between countries….”etc.arrow_forward
