Answer:
59% - a)increase - b)decrease
Explanation:
First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.
Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).
Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).
With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.

Cost of equity is calculated as -
Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta * (Market risk - Risk free return)
Given,
Risk free return = 5.3 %
Market risk = 12 %
Beta = 1.05
Cost of equity = 5.3 % + (1.05*(12-5.3%))
Cost of equity = 12.335 % or 12.24 %
Answer:
$0.35
Explanation:
The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:
= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)
So, Change in quantity demanded would be
= Q2 - Q1
= 40 - 30
= 10
Now, Average of quantity demanded
= (40 + 30) ÷ 2
= 35
Change in price
= P2 - P1
= $35 - $15
= $20
And, the average of price would be
= ($35 + $15) ÷ 2
= $25
Cross price elasticity of demand = (10 ÷ 35) ÷ ($20 ÷ $25)
= 0.28 ÷ $0.8
= $0.35
Answer:
If the lender rate decline he will be worst of due to consumer buying behavior.
Explanation:
- Lenders are creditors and not all creditors are leanders. During a decline in the interest rates goes down and borrowing gets cheaper. The leander will be worse after the interest rates decline. If the interest rate rises or changes the lender may get higher rates.
