Draw and carefully label the Euro-U.S. dollar foreign exchange graph. You must use the Euro/US $ exchange rate as your price variable. Assume we are currently in market equilibrium. Illustrate using the graph how the equilibrium euro/dollar foreign exchange rate would be affected by the following events, holding all else constant. Use a different graph for each part. Explain in words why the equilibrium exchange rate changed.
An unexpected increase in the US inflation rate relative to the Euro Area.
Suppose that yesterday, the U.S. dollar was trading on the foreign exchange market at 0.75 eurosper U.S. dollar and today the U.S. dollar is trading at 0.80 euros per U.S. dollar. Which of the twocurrencies (the U.S. dollar or the euro) has appreciated and which has depreciated today?b) Suppose that the exchange rate for the Mexican peso fell from 15 pesos per U.S. dollar to 10 pesosper U.S. dollar. What is the effect of this change on the quantity of U.S. dollars that people plan tobuy in the foreign exchange market?c) Suppose that the exchange rate rose from 80 yen per U.S. dollar to 90 yen per U.S. dollar. What isthe effect of this change on the quantity of U.S. dollars that people plan to sell in the foreignexchange market?
Suppose that the euro is trading at $1.90 per euro in the foreign exchange market. Next, suppose that the exchange rate falls to $1.54 per euro, due
to falling interest rates in the eurozone.
The following graph shows the supply and demand curves for dollars in the foreign exchange market.
On the following graph, shift either the supply curve for dollars or the demand curve for dollars to reflect the influence of "carry trade" (in isolation
from other factors that may affect the exchange rate) on the exchange rate for dollars. (Hint: Carefully consider which price is measured on the
vertical axis and which currency is being measured on the horizontal axis.)

- 1 Suppose that two countries, Indonesia and Vietnam, produce coffee. The currency unit used in Indonesia is the Rupiah (IDR). The currency unit used in Vietnam is the Dong (VND). In Vietnam, coffee sells for 4,500 dong (VND) per pound. The exchange rate is 1.57 VND per 1 IDR, EVND/IDR = 1.57. 2 If the law of one price holds, what is the price of coffee in Indonesia, measured in Rupiah (assume we are talking about the same type of coffee)? Please round your answer to the nearest whole number. Assume the price of coffee in Indonesia is actually 3000 IDR per pound.
