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.

marusya05 [52]

The reason that the elasticity of demand is 0.62 for business and 0.12 for economy is because the economy class is more elastic than that of the business.

When the flight ticket of those flying business class is raised, they would not be affected much because they are rich and can afford it. They do not care much about the raise in price.

For the average flyer using the economy flight, raising the price of the ticket would affect him and he may end up reducing his demand for it.
