Answer:
C) Exports decrease, imports increase
Explanation:
If the US dollar appreciates, the US dollar has now more value per unit of foreign currency than before. For example, suppose that today 1 US dollar buys 0.8 Euro, and tomorrow, Europe is hit by a financial crisis, and the US dollar appreciates, and buys 1.2 Euro. The US dollar has appreciated, has become more expensive, becomes now more euros are needed to buy 1 US dollar.
When the US dollar gains value, domestic goods become more expensive compared to foreign goods, and this promotes imports, and reduces exports.
This is the reason why China keeps a depreciated currency: China is an export economy and the cheap Chinese currency makes exports cheaper, and imports more expensive.
Answer:
The systematic portion of the unexpected return is 1.180% and the unsystematic portion was 0.288%
Explanation:
E(R) = 0.034 + 1.18*(0.108 - 0.034) = 0.12132
R - E(R) = 0.136 - 0.12132 = 0.01468
RM - E(RM) = 0.118 - 0.108 = 0.01
[RM - E(RM)] * Beta = 0.01 * 1.18 = 0.0118 = 1.180%
[R - E(R)] - [RM - E(RM)] * Beta = 0.01468 * 0.0118 = 0.00288 = 0.288%
The answer is C. If the future price of a good is expected to rise, that means consumers would want to buy more NOW before the price increases. This causes the immediate demand to rise.
