Answer:
Option (d) $16,008.17
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
The price of the Firebird in 1969 = $2,500
Price index in 1969 = 36.7
Price index in 2013 = 235
Now,
The price of the Firebird in 2013 dollars will be
= [ Price index in 2013 ÷ Price index in 1969 ] × The price of the Firebird in 1969
= [ 235 ÷ 36.7 ] × $2,500
= 6.40327 × $2,500
= $16,008.17
Hence,
Option (d) $16,008.17

Answer:
The consumer price index for 2015 on Planet Econ is 1.25
Explanation:
The formula for computing the consumer price index is given below:
= (Total cost in the current year) ÷ (total cost in the base year)
where,
Total cost in the current year equals to
= (Base year book quantity × current year book price) + (base year hamburgers quantity × current year hamburgers price)
= 10 books × $30 + 25 hamburgers × $3
= $300 + $75
= $375
we use the base year quantity for computing the total cost for the current year.
And, the Total cost in the base year equals to
= (Base year book quantity × base year book price) + (base year hamburgers quantity × base year hamburgers price)
= 10 books × $25 + 25 hamburgers × $2
= $250 + $50
= $300
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be
= $375 ÷ $300
= 1.25
Hence, The consumer price index for 2015 on Planet Econ is 1.25
Answer:
(A) Fixed exchange rate regime
(B) Fixed exchange rate
(C) Flexible exchange rate
(D) Flexible exchange rate
Explanation:
(A) A fixed exchange rate regime signals a commitment not to engage in inflationary policies. NOTE: Inflationary policies are a type of monetary policies (the type used to pump money into the economy). See answer (D).
(B) A fixed exchange rate regime provides certainty about the value of a currency, for example, when the exchange rate between Philippine Pesos and Arab Emirate Dollars is fixed at 10PHP - 1AED, traders in this currency will be certain that at any planning time in business, investment or consumption, 10 PHP will be equal to 1 AED.
(C) Flexible exchange rate distorts incentives for importing and exporting goods and services. What are these incentives? On the government side, it is either the revenue that government makes from import tariffs and duties OR the subsidy that government pays on exported goods. On the importer/exporter side, it is the custom duties paid by importers on imported goods AND the subsidies enjoyed by exporters on exported products. A flexible exchange rate distorts or fluctuates these incentives.
(D) Flexible exchange rate enables policy makers to engage in monetary policy. Now, monetary policy is a tool used by ministers of finance or policy makers in every country; to regulate (increase or reduce or bring back to normal) spending and investment. If the exchange rate between or among countries were fixed, monetary policies would have limited application or usefulness when implemented. A flexible exchange rate encourages and enables engagement in or use of monetary policies.
