Answer:

No, a currency carry trade with positive profit can not be conducted.

Explanation:

The currency carry trade is the trading strategy where investor funding from lower-yield currency to invest in higher-yield currency with expectation to earn positive profit from the yield differences between the two currencies.

However, this strategy only works when the difference is big enough to compensate for the depreciation ( if any) of the higher-yield currency against the lower-yield currency.

With the given information, the strategy will not work because the depreciation of NZ$ against US$ after one-year is too big to be compensated for the yield difference.

For specific example, suppose the strategy is conducted, in 2008, an investor will borrow, for example, US$1 at 4.2%, exchange it to NZ$1.71. Then, invest NZ$1.71 at 9.1%.

In 2019, an investor will get NZ$1.86561 (1.71 x 1.091). The, he/she exchanges at the 2019 exchange rate, for US$1.36176 (1.86561 / 1.37). While at the same time, he will have to pay back 1 x 1.042 = US$1.042 => The loss making in US$ is US$0.32.

16. GDP Growth Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: Year GDP (Billions of current dollars) (Billions of 2009 dollars) 2011 1
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The percentage change in nominal GDP from 2013 to 2014 was 4.29%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was 1.48%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was higher than the percentage change in real GDP from 2011 to 2012. FALSE

Explanation:

In order to calculate this we just have to calculate the percentages with a rule of thirds:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}

To calculate the first one we use the nominal GDP which is the GDP with the current market value:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{16,663.2}{100}= \frac{17,348.1 }{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(17,348.1}{16,663.2} \\x=4.29%

To calculate the change in real GDP we use the values adapted to a pre-agreed monetary value, in this case the dollar at 2009:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{15,354.6}{100}= \frac{15,583.3}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,583.3}{15,354.6} \\x=1.48%

To calculate the 2011 to 2012 we insert the values:

\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{ 15,020.6}{100}= \frac{15,354.6}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,354.6}{ 15,020.6} \\x=2.22%

So with this we know that it is wasn´t higher the percentage change from 2012-2013, than that of 2011-2012

aniked [119]

Answer:

Purchasing 70,000 x 1/3 = $23,333 DISTRICT 1

Purchasing 70,000 x 2/3 = $46,667 DISTRICT 2

Payroll 80,000 x1/3 = $26,667 DISTRICT 1

Payroll 80,000 x 2/3 = $53,333 DISTRICT 2

Explanation:

Sales 300,000 + 600,000 = 900,000

District 1 300,000/900,000 = 1/3

District 2 600,000/900,000 = 2/3

Purchasing 70,000 x 1/3 = 23,333

Purchasing 70,000 x 2/3 = 46,667

Payroll 80,000 x1/3 = 26,667

Payroll 80,000 x 2/3 = 53,333
