1. Assume that there is decrease in the exchange rate of the home currency. In which of the two
economies (Economy A or Economy B {circle your choice}) would such currency devaluation
cause greater impact on the GDP of the home country. Explain your choice using the space
provided below. Economy B above also has the following schedule for AD and AS:
Amount of Real GDP Demanded (trillions)
Price
Index

100 1. What is the equilibrium level of GDP for economy B? Is the equilibrium real output also the fullcapacity real output for economy B? Explain. 2. If economy B is currently operating in equilibrium, by how much would autonomous expenditure
( exp0 ) have to change in order for the economy to reach potential GDP? Show all
calculations. 3. Using AD-AS model and EXP-Y model, graphically illustrate how and in what direction would “a
decrease in the exchange rate of the home currency” affect the equilibrium real GDP of the
home country. Demonstrate your answer on both the “AD-AS graph” as well as the
“EXP-Y graph.” Designate as “a “ the starting point (on both graphs) and show all
“new equilibrium” points as “b”, “c”,
etc. etc. as the economy adjusts to the
devaluation of the home currency. In the space below, explain why the economy
adjusts from “a” to “b” to “c” etc. etc. Use this space to explain why the economy is moving from point a to b to c etc. etc.
