Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.43 Exchange Rates and Currency Markets skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A financial crisis causes domestic residents to buy foreign currency and foreign investors to sell domestic bonds. Which graph best matches the domestic currency market?

ASupply shifts left and demand shifts right, so the domestic currency appreciates sharply.

BDemand and supply both shift right, so only quantity changes.

CSupply shifts right and demand shifts left, so the domestic currency depreciates sharply.

DDemand and supply both shift left, so the exchange rate must rise.

Solution & Explanation:Residents selling domestic currency increase supply. Foreign investors exiting sell domestic assets and reduce demand for the domestic currency. Both shifts weaken the currency.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

U.S. purchases of Korean semiconductors rise by $900 million, while Korean purchases of U.S. software rise by $500 million. Assuming payments require each seller's currency, what is the likely net effect?

ANeither currency changes because exports and imports both increase.

BBoth currencies appreciate because both countries export more.

CThe won appreciates and the dollar depreciates because net demand for won exceeds demand for dollars.

DThe dollar appreciates and the won depreciates because all trade involving the United States supports the dollar.

Solution & Explanation:U.S. semiconductor imports create demand for won, while Korean software imports create demand for dollars. The won-demand flow is larger, so the won appreciates relative to the dollar.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the travel-cost table. Which exchange-rate movement is shown for U.S. tourists?

AThe dollar appreciated against the rial because the same dollar budget buys more rials.

BThe dollar depreciated against the rial because the same dollar budget buys more rials.

CThe exchange rate is unchanged because the dollar budget is fixed.

DThe rial appreciated because U.S. tourists can buy more rials.

Solution & Explanation:The same $1,000 budget converts into more rials after the change. That means each dollar buys more rials, so the dollar appreciated.
