Answer:

a.

The yen is expected to get stronger in three-month time.

It is because it is taking up to ¥102.21 to exchange for $1 at spot, while in three-month time, it is expected that it will only take ¥101.18 to exchange for $1.

b.

Applying relative purchasing power parity, we have:

USD is expected to depreciate 3% against Japan Yen, calculated as: 102.21 / 101.18 - 1 = 3%.

Thus, inflation rates of the United States is estimated to be 3% higher than inflation rates of the Japan.

Three individuals, Mary, Jack and Helen, make up the total demand for donuts per month in a particular market.
Paraphin [41]

The market demand curve would be 1000 - 0.125Q.

<h3>How to calculate the demand curve?</h3>

It should be noted that the market demand curve will be the sum of the individual demand curve.

The market demand curve will be calculated thus. Mary’s demand curve is 5P = 5000 – 1.25QM. Here, p = 1000 - 0.25QM

Jack’s demand curve for donuts is given by P = 1000 – 0.5QJ. Helen’s demand curve is given by QH = 2000 – 2P. This will be P = 1000 - 0.5QH.

The slope will be:

= 0.5 × 0.25

= 0.15

The demand function of Jack and Helen are the same. The demand curve will be 1000 - 0.125Q.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario been described, we can say that the difference between part time job and job sharing is, jobs that are classified as part-time are jobs that can be done in a shorter amount of time than that of a full-time job, whereas job sharing creates one full-time position out of two part-time employees, so option b is the correct answer.
