If Boeing's dollar aircraft prices increase 25% and the yen/dollar exchange rate declines 15%, Japan Air Lines is effectively facing a price increase of 40, 2, or 10 % for the purchase of a Boeing 747. Boeing's margin would likely rise or fall if the yen depreciated and competitor prices were unchanged.

Suppose the current exchange rate is 115 yen per dollar. We currently have a demand for 50 units of our product when the unit price is 800 yen. The cost of producing and shipping the product to Japan is $6, and the current elasticity of demand is –2.5. Find the optimal price to charge for the product (in yen) for each of the following exchange rates: 60 yen/$, 80 yen/$, 100 yen/$, 120 yen/$, 140 yen/$, and 160 yen/$. Assume the demand function is linear. Exchange Rate Price 60 80 100 120 140 160
(1) Apple TV+ managers should not be held responsible for low quality of video streaming services when exchange rates are moving unexpectedly (2) since during the devaluation of the local currencies Apple’s local subsidiaries should have always operating loss and transaction loss at the same time when Apple TV+’s competitors are raising subscription fees on video streaming services.

Madison Company is a large manufacturer and distributor of cake supplies. It is based in Chicago(Headquarters) and Trinidad. It sends supplies to firms throughout the United States and the UnitedKingdom . It markets its supplies through periodic mass mailings of catalogues to those firms. Itsclients can make orders over the phone and Madison ships the supplies upon demand Given that one-third of the company sales are exports to the United Kingdom and invoices for exports are in US dollars, the demand for its exports is highly sensitive to the value of the British pound. In order to maintain its inventory at a proper level, it must forecast the total demand for its products which is somewhat dependent on the forecasted value of the pound. In your memo separate demand related factors from the supply related factors, that may influence exchange rate movements. Include any possible government
Home's demand and supply for cars are given by: D = 130 - 30P and S = 10 + 30P, while Foreign's demand and supply for cars are: D = 60 - 30P and S² = 40 + 30P (P is thousands of US$). Home has the ad valorem tariff of T = 0.4 per car in place. Now, the Foreign government decides to grant an ad valorem export subsidy of T = 0.4 per exported car. How does this subsidy affect Home welfare? Show graphically the changes to surpluses and tax revenues for Foreign.

Suppose that fixed costs for a firm in the automobile industry (start-up costs of factories, capital equipment, and so on) are 50 and that variable costs are equal to 20 per finished automobile. Because more firms increase competition in the market, the market price falls as more firms enter and automobile market, or specifically, P-20 + (1/2n), where "n" represents the number of firms in a market. Assume that the initial size of the US and the European automobile markets are 900 and 1,600 people, respectively. a. Calculate the equilibrium number of firms in the US and European automobile markets without trade. Explain. b. What is the equilibrium price of automobiles in the US and Europe if the automobile industry is closed to foreign trade? Explain. C. Now suppose that the US decides on free trade in automobiles with Europe. How many automobile firms will there be in the US and in Europe combined? What will be the new equilibrium price of automobiles? Explain. d. Why are prices in the…
I would advise taking the following measures to ensure a successful entry into international markets: Conduct thorough market research to identify potential target countries with a demand for premium-quality stylish clothing. Consider factors like consumer preferences, cultural differences, existing competitors, and potential barriers to entry. There needs to research in regards to the export regulations and requirements of the target countries. Different countries may have specific rules and restrictions on textile imports, labeling, and quality standards. Before entering international markets, ensure that the brand identity is well-established and consistent. Make sure that the premium positioning, quality, and unique selling propositions are communicated clearly through branding and marketing materials. Maintain stringent quality control measures to ensure that the clothing consistently meets or exceeds the premium standards expected by target customers. Reputation is critical in…
Cherryland, an imaginary country somewhere in the world invests heavily in government and corporate securities of the United States. In addition, Americans invest heavily in Cherryland. Approximately $10 billion worth of investment transactions occur between these two countries each year. On the other hand, the total dollar value of trade transactions per year is about $50 million. This information is expected to hold also in the near future.Because most of your firm’s exports goes to Cherryland, your job as international cash manager requires you to forecast the fluctuations in the value of the “cherrio”, the currency of Cherryland, with respect to the U.S. dollar. Questions:1) Explain how each of the following scenarios, holding other things equal, will affect the value of the cherrio.Scenarios:a. U.S. inflation has suddenly increased substantially, while inflation in Cherryland remains low.b. Real interest rates have increased substantially in the U.S.; while real interest rates in…
Peru is growing relatively quickly and has begun to attract large inflows of foreign direct investment. While Peru relishes the benefit of the inflows, it is concerned about the potential negative effects if the foreign investors pull out their investments quickly. One particular reason for Peru to be concerned is that its banks have taken out large loans denominated in U.S. dollars and European euros from foreign banks. If the foreign direct investment is withdrawn quickly from Peru, what will be the effect on each of these items? A. Peru's money supply - B. Peru's exchange rate with other countries - C. Peru's exports - D. Peru's trade deficit - Answer Bank: No Effect, Increase or Decrease
Consider the following variation of Table 11-1 for the U.S. semiconductor market U.S. Tariff rates 0% 8% 16% From Canada, before NAFTA $45 $W $52.2 From Asia, before NAFTA $40 $X $Y From Canada, after NAFTA $43 $Z $Z From Asia, after NAFTA $40 $X $Y From the United States $46 $46 $46 Fill in the values for W, X, Y, and Z. Suppose that before NAFTA, the United States had a 16% tariff on imported semiconductors. Which country supplied the U.S. market? Is it the lowest-cost producer? After NAFTA, who supplies the U.S. market? Has either trade creation or diversion occurred because of NAFTA? Explain. Now suppose that before NAFTA, the United States had an 8% tariff on imported semiconductors. Then repeat parts (b) and (c).

A particular metal is traded in a highly competitive world market at a world price of $11.2 per ounce. Unlimited quantities are available for import into Canada at this price. The supply of this metal from domestic Canadian producers can be represented by Qs = 322 + 52P and the demand for the metal in Canada is Qd = 2589 - 74P, where Qs and Qd are in units of million ounces and P is the price per ounce. The Canadian government plans to impose an import quota of 310 million ounces per year. What is the net domestic loss to the Canadian economy as a result of the import quota? Answer: $ __________million
"Trinidad and Tobago is not only impacted by the economic consequences of COVID-19; but as an oil-and-gas exporting country, the economic, financial and social consequences have been further compounded by the dramatic drop in oil and gas prices. The worldwide demand for crude oil has crashed in the context of stay-home-lockdown orders. As I indicated earlier, on April 20, 2020, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) took an unprecedented turn entering negative territory for the first time in its history, The WTI June 2020 delivery for crude oil is currently US$15 per barrel and the natural gas June futures price is US$1.82 per MMBTU." "The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago is helping the economy navigate through these difficult circumstances. For example, the Central Bank has reduced the reserve requirements for the commercial banks from 17.0 percent to 14.0 percent; and the repo rate from 5.0 percent to 3.5 percent. As a result, Commercial banks have reduced their prime lending…
