Consider relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and remember the consumer price index (CPI) provides the price level in a countr

y at any point in time. Assume CPI in the US is 165 in 2010 and 200 in 2015, and CPI in Canada is 170 in 2010 and 220 in 2015 (with base year as 2000). If the spot exchange rate was 0.7640 USD/CAD in 2010, what is it in 2015 if relative PPP holds

Answer:

0.7156 USD/CAD

Explanation:

Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:

S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)

==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period

==> S(1)  = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period

==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country

==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.

Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country

I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%

I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%

On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:

S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)

S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996

S(1) = 0.764*0.936635

S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD

If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD

Simora [160]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Involve farming out value chain activities presently performed in-house to outside specialists and strategic allies.

Explanation:

Outsourcing refers to a practice that companies engage in to take their operations abroad to lower production costs and avoid being subject to stiff regulations that might harm their profits. <em>Under this approach, firms value chain activities handled in their original country are taken to countries where the manufacturing and labor costs are much lower with and relatively similar qualified workforce and suppliers.</em>  

Outsourcing might harm the employment rate in the domestic country of the company handling operations abroad but could benefit the outsourced nation by introducing job opportunities where there may not even be basic labor conditions.
