Answer:

$8

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay - price

The consumer surplus of the 10th scarf :

Willingness to pay for the 10th scarf - price of the scarf

Willingness to pay for the 10th scarf =  $200 / 10 = $20

Consumer surplus = $20 - $12 = $8

Answer:

$80

Explanation:

Consumer surplus can be defined as the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay for a particular product and the amount he actually paid. The amount he actually paid is usually less than what he is willing to pay.

Consumer surplus= willing price - actual price

Hugo is willing to pay $200 for 10 scarfs

That is $200/10

=$20/scarf

Actual price paid is $12/scarf

That is, $12×10

=$120

Consumer surplus per scarf=$20-$12

=$8

This is to say that Hugo has a surplus of $8 per scarf

Total surplus on 10 scarfs can be calculated

Total Consumer surplus=$200-$120

=$80

Or

Multiplying each surplus by 10 scarfs

Each surplus=$8

Then,

Total surplus=$8×10

=$80

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.
