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)

- Question 2 In the context of the monetary approach to the determination of the exchange rate, what is the effect on the price level, interest rate and exchange rate from a permanent contraction in the domestic level of the money supply? How does your previous answer modify if, instead of the level, it is the domestic growth rate of the money supply that contracts permanently? How do your previous answers modify if we drop the assumption of PPP? Finally, how does your previous answer modify if, in addition to the contraction of the level or the growth of the money supply, the relative demand of domestic goods increases? Supplement your answer with a carefully explained diagrammatic analysis.arrow_forwardYou are the economic advisor to the Government of Sweden, a country that is not a member of the European Union but trades quite a bit with EU countries and with whom there is a high degree of capital mobility. (a) Suppose that the members of the European Union enact a large tax cut financed by a large increase in their deficit. What should happen to exchange rates in Sweden? What should happen to Sweden’s trade balance? Show the effects using appropriately labeled graphs, including that of the foreign exchange market. (b) Suppose instead that the European Central bank increase the money supply. What should happen to exchange rates in Sweden? What should happen to Sweden’s trade balance? Show the effects using appropriately labeled graphs, including that of the foreign exchange market. (c) If you are very interested in keeping the Swedish exchange rate constant at the rate it was before the EU tax cut, what specific policy would you recommend to do this, i.e. to keep your currency from…arrow_forwardRight now (Fall 2022), the US dollar is significantly stronger that it has been during the last few years — it appreciated against most currencies by about 15-20 percent over the period of two years. Looking at two groups of economic agents — US consumers and US producers — how does stronger currency affect any of these two groups? (other things being equal)arrow_forward
- Suppose the exchange rate between the South African Rand (R) and the United States Dollar ($) changed from R10 per $1 to R15 per $1. If domestic prices remain the same, what would be the effect of this situation on the Rand and South Africa's imports? Select one: a. A depreciation of the Rand, making South African imports from the United States more expensive b. A depreciation of the Rand, making South African imports from the United States cheaper c. The Rand would buy three times more goods than before the change occurred d. Appreciation of the Rand, making South African imports from the United States cheaper..arrow_forwardSuppose that the spot exchange rate is 1.6 euros per dollar, and that the annual interest rates for 180-day deposits are 4 percent in the United States and 10 percent in Germany. Explain how a U.S. investor would use covered interest arbitrage to hedge against the risk of purchasing a 180-day bill in Germany. Assuming high capital mobility between the United States and Germany, calculate the 180-day forward exchange rate that would be required to eliminate an opportunity for risk-free profits by shifting funds from the United States to Germany.arrow_forwardPQ 23 Assuming a flexible exchange rate, in the balance model, what effect, other factors constant, will a foreign government budget deficit financed by issuing bonds have on the home country's currency value?arrow_forward
