Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve. In a perfectly competitive market, there is a large number of buyers and sellers, such that no single firm is able to affects the price or output level. The demand curve faced by a single firm is a horizontal line.

If inflation in the U.S. is projected at 3% annually for the next 5years and at 7% annually in Turkey for the same time period,
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

6.86011 Turkish liras per US dollar

Explanation:

US's inflation 3% for the next 3 years

Turkey's inflation 7% for the next 3 years

current Lira/Dollar spot rate (L/$) = 5.6702 (liras per dollar)

  • inflation rate US = (1 + 0.03)⁵ = 1.159274
  • inflation rate Turkey = (1 + 0.07)⁵ = 1.402552

difference = 1.402552 / 1.159274 = 1.20985 x current spot rate = 1.20985 x 5.6702 = 6.86011

Since the Turkish inflation rate is higher than the American inflation rate, then the Turkish lira will depreciate faster than the US dollar.

What strategy did president roosevelt use to restore america's confidence in government and the private banking system?
Klio2033 [76]

The strategy used by president Roosevelt to restore America's confidence in government and the private banking system was that, he reassured fireside talks on the radio.

Roosevelt fought to expand the role of the federal government in the nation's economy, and also embraced Keynesian economic policies. He also implemented a series of projects and programs called the New Deal to stabilize the economy.

Hence, these talks gave confidence to the American people to overcome their fears.
