Answer:
b. Buy £1,000,000 forward for $1.50/£.
Explanation:
Let's say for instance, we agree to make purchase of €1,000,000 and then forward for $1.50/€ and we assume that the price turns out to become $1.62/€ in three months time, the expected profit will be $12,000 = €1,000,000 ($1.62 - $1.50)As we can see, answer d looks convincing from an accounting standpoint, but it is wrong because the question asks us to make money with a forward contract, not by holding a particular spot. The correct option should be option b.
Answer:
c. increasing; $62.5
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
= 1 ÷ 1 - 0.75
= 1 ÷ 0.25
= 4
Now if the equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the expected level of GDP
So, the government spending would be increased by
= $250 billion ÷ 4
= $62.5
Hence, the correct option is c.
