7. Assuming a 7.2% increase in the nominal spot exchange rate (USD/EUR), the price level in the euro area decreases by 3% and the price level in the United States increases by 2%.

The change in the real exchange rate (%) is the closest:

A. 12.72%.

B. 1.94%.

C. -2.52%.

Correct Answer: B

Answer Explanation:

Real exchange rate change = [(1 + exchange rate change) × (1 + change in foreign price level) / (1 + change in domestic price level) – 1 = [(1.072)(0.97)] / (1.02) – 1 = 0.0194 = 1.94

9. A large country wishes to increase its national welfare by imposing tariffs. Assuming that its trading partners do not retaliate, which of the following conditions must the large country meet in order to achieve its goal?

A. It must have a comparative advantage in the production of the imported good.

B. The deadweight loss must be smaller than the benefit of its improving terms of trade.

C. It must auction the import licenses for a fee to offset the decline in the consumer surplus.

Correct Answer: B

Answer Explanation:

Large countries are able to induce foreign exporters to lower prices in order to maintain market share. In large countries, domestic producers benefit from increased output and Governments benefit from the imposition of tariffs. The sum of these two gains must exceed the self-weighted losses to domestic consumers in order for national welfare gains to be realized.
