1.)Suppose that ex is the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan in that ex indicates the number of yuan that can be purchased with one dollar. The demand for dollars, denoted, D$ is given by the equation D$=2,800 - 200ex. The supply of dollars denoted, S$, is given by the equation S$=400 - 100ex.
a.Calculate the demand for dollars and supply of dollars at exchange rates between 0 and 12 in increments of one.
b.the demand for dollars and supply of dollars against the exchange rate. What is the value of the equilibrium exchange rate?
c. Suppose the demand for dollars increases by 300 billion at each exchange rate. Explain if the increase in demand results from a large purchase b the Chinese of a new American-made airplane or a large purchase by Americans of new lower priced Chinese-made high definition Televisions. Calculate the new demand for dollars at each exchange rate and graph the demand curve.
What is the new equilibrium exchange rate, give the original supply of dollars?
d.Suppose the supply of dollars increase by 600 billion at each exchange rate. Explain if the increase in demand results from a large purchase b the Chinese of a new American-made airplane or a large purchase by Americans of new lower priced Chinese-made high definition Televisions.
Calculate the new supply of dollars at each exchange rate and graph the new supply curve. What is the new equilibrium exchange rate, given the original demand for dollars?
2.)A. Suppose that there is a large purchase by Americans of new lower priced Chinese-made high definition televisions. Given your answers to problem 1, explain whether the Chinese government must buy or sell dollars and by how much if it wants to maintain the value of the yuan relative to the dollar at the level of your answer in part b of problem 1.
b. Suppose that there is a large purchase by Chinese of a new American made airplane.
Given your answers to problem 1, explain whether the Chinese government must buy or sell dollars and by how if it wants to maintain the value of the yuan relative to the dollar at the level of your answer in part b of problem 1.
