You are given the following information about a country’s international transactions during a year:
a.Calculate the values of the country’cooperations goods and rvices balance,current account balance,and official ttlements balance?
a.Merchandi trade balance: $330 - 198 = $132
Goods and rvices balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 = $124
mdcCurrent account balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 = $119
Official ttlements balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 + 102 - 202 + 4 = $23
b.What are the value of the change in official rerve asts(net)?Is the country increasing or decreasing its net holdings of official rerve asts?校准英文
b.Change in official rerve asts (net) = - official ttlements balance = -$23

What are the major types of transactions or activities that result in supply of foreign currency in the spct foreign exchange market?
Exports of merchandi and rvices result in supply of foreign currency in the foreign
exchange market. Domestic llers often want to be paid using domestic currency, while
the foreign buyers want to pay in their currency. In the process of paying for the exports,
foreign currency is exchanged for domestic currency, creating supply of foreign currency.
International capital inflows result in a supply of foreign currency in the foreign exchange
market. In making investments in domestic financial asts, foreign investors often start
with foreign currency and must exchange it for domestic currency before they can buy the
domestic asts. The exchange creates a supply of foreign currency. Sales of foreign
financial asts that the country's residents had previously acquired, and borrowing from
foreigners by this country's residents are other forms of capital inflow that can create
supply of foreign currency.
You have access to the following three spot exchange rates:
＄0.01/yen
＄0.20/krone
25yen/krone
You strat with dollars and want to end up with dollars
a.hoe would you engage in arbitrage to profit from the three rates?what is the profit for each dollar ud initially?
a.The cross rate between the yen and the krone is too high (the yen value of the krone is
too
气门结构high) relative to the dollar-foreign currency exchange rates. Thus, in a profitable
triangular arbitrage, you want to ll kroner at the high cross rate. The arbitrage will be:
costarU dollars to buy kroner at $0.20/krone, u the kroner to buy yen at 25 yen/krone, and
u the yen to buy dollars at $0.01/yen. For each dollar that you ll initially, you can
obtain 5 kroner, the 5 kroner can obtain 125 yen, and the 125 yen can obtain $1.25. The affable
arbitrage profit for each dollar is therefore 25 cents.
b.As a result of this arbitrage,what is the pressure on the cross-rate between yen and krone?what must the value of the cross-rate be to eliminate the opportunity for triangular arbitrage?
b.Selling kroner to buy yen puts downward pressure on the cross rate (the yen price of
krone). The value of the cross rate must fall to 20 (=0.20/0.01) yen/krone to eliminate the
opportunity for triangular arbitrage, assuming that the dollar exchange rates are
unchanged.
