The following current rates have been observed: Spot exchange rate: $1.25/SFr Expected future spot rate in 90 days: $1.2625/SFr Annual interest rate on 90-day U.S.-dollar-denominated bonds: 10% Annual interest rate on 90-day SFr-denominated bonds: 6% At these initial rates, does uncovered interest parity (market asset approach) hold? Then, if the U.S. money supply unexpectedly increases by 10 percent, what is likely to be the effect on the spot exchange rate? In your answer assume that the asset market clears faster...
) Using the model of exchange rate determination presented in chapter 15, show how a permanent increase in the domestic money supply results in the exchange rate "overshooting" its long-run value. Label your initial equilibrium point on both graphs by A, the short-run equilibrium by B, and the long-run equilibrium by C. Would this overshooting occur if prices were flexible in the short-run? Explain.

Throughout the 2000s, China’s exchange rate was considered to be consistently below the free-market equilibrium. Without intervention by the central bank, this would lead to excess (demand/ supply) of the yuan. How would the central bank in China have maintained the desired exchange rate? Sustained increases in domestic money supply lead to higher inflation in the long run. Explain how undervaluation of the yuan during this period is tied to rising inflation in China
