Answers
P.180
Think it over
1. China enjoys a huge trade surplus in international trade, especially in its trade with
United States. Does this imply that China gains more than the United States from
international trade?
As discussed in Chapter 11, the gain from exports is equal to the difference between the
total value of exports and the total domestic production cost of exports, while the gain
from imports is equal to the difference between the total domestic production cost of
imports (if produced domestically) and the total value of imports. The larger the
difference, the larger the gain.
The trade balance is the difference between the total value of exports and the total value
of imports. A positive trade balance is called a trade surplus, while a negative one is
called a trade deficit.
The huge trade surplus implies that Chinese exports are far larger than its imports.
However, this does not imply that China gains more than the US from trade.
2.
To reduce its trade deficit with China, the US government frequently urges the Chinese
government to raise the value of its currency. What is the relationship between the
exchange rate and the trade balance?
When the US dollar depreciates (or the Chinese yuan appreciates), the US trade balance
may not improve (or the Chinese trade balance may not worsen). (This is discussed in
Section 13.2 of this chapter.)
3.
How does a rising yuan affect the Chinese economy?

A rising yuan will raise the prices of Chinese exports (in foreign currency) and reduce
the volume of exports. Many firms in the export sector may suffer and, as a result, they
may dismiss many workers.
On the other hand, a rising yuan will lower the prices of Chinese imports (in terms of
yuan) and increase their quantities. The import-competing sectors face more fierce
competition and may dismiss many workers.
Moreover, unemployment will reduce government tax revenue but increase its transfer
payments. As a result, the fiscal balance may worsen.

Multiple Choice Questions
1. A
Option A is correct. It is the definition of exchange rate.
Option B is incorrect. It is the definition of terms of trade.
Option C is incorrect. Under a fixed exchange rate system, the exchange rate is
determined by the central bank.
Option D is incorrect. Banks gain from buying foreign currencies at a lower price and
selling them at a higher price. Hence, customers buy foreign currencies from banks at a
higher price and sell foreign currencies to banks at a lower price.
2.
C
The increase in exchange rate of a foreign currency implies the appreciation
(revaluation) of the foreign currency under a flexible (fixed) exchange rate system and
the depreciation (devaluation) of the domestic currency under a flexible (fixed)
exchange rate system.
3.
D
When the Hong Kong dollar appreciates against the Japanese yen, the prices of imports
from Japan in HKDs will fall and those in Japanese yen remain unchanged.

On the other hand, the prices of exports to Japan in HKDs remain unchanged and those
in Japanese yen will rise.
4.
A
For imports from UK to HK:
ePd (= Pf e)QM the change in the expenditure on imports in HKDs (=
QM Pd) is uncertain, depending on the domestic elasticity of demand for imports;
and the expenditure on imports in British pounds (= QM Pf) decreases.
For exports from HK to UK:
ePf [= Pd 1/(e)]QXthe change in the revenue from exports in British
pounds (= QX Pf) is uncertain, depending on the foreign elasticity of demand for
HKs exports; and the revenue from exports in HKDs (= QX Pd) increases.
5.
B
Only the three note-issuing banks can transact USDs (not other foreign currencies) with
the Exchange Fund at the linked rate.
6.
A
Option A is correct. The appreciation of the USD against the AUD will lead to an
appreciation of the HKD against the AUD. Thus, prices of HK products in AUDs rise
and the number of Australian tourists visiting HK drops.
Option B is incorrect. Since prices of HKs exports to Australia in AUDs rise, the
volume of HKs exports to Australia drops.
Option C is incorrect. Since prices of Australian exports to HK in HKDs fall, the volume
of Australian exports to HK rises.
Option D is incorrect. The total value of HKs exports to Australia in HKDs
(= QX Pd) falls, while the change in the total value of HKs imports from Australia
in HKDs (= QM Pd) is uncertain. Hence, the change in the trade balance is
uncertain.
7.
B
Option A is incorrect. It is recorded as a debit in the goods account of the current
account.
Option B is correct. It is recorded as a credit in the income account of the current
account.
Option C is incorrect. It is recorded as a credit in the capital and financial account.
Option D is incorrect. It is recorded as a debit in the capital and financial account.

When there is a market BoP surplus (deficit), the central bank will buy (sell) an
equivalent amount of foreign currency from (to) the foreign exchange market to absorb
the surplus (accommodate the deficit). Hence, the accounting BoP must be balanced and
reserve assets held by the central bank increase (decrease) by the same amount as the
BoP surplus (deficit). (3 marks)

The exchange rate of a currency is the price of the currency in terms of

another currency at a certain moment. For example, saying that the exchange rate is
$10 per month is meaningless. Hence, it is a stock. (2 marks)
The current account balance is the balance of values of external inflows and
outflows of goods, services, factor incomes and current transfers in a specified
period. Specifying the period concerned is necessary because different time spans
imply a different magnitude. For example, a current account balance of $10 million
a day is larger than $10 million a year. Hence, it is a flow. (2 marks)
Foreign exchange reserves are the amount of foreign assets and gold held by a
central bank at a certain moment. For example, saying that a foreign exchange
reserve is $100 million per month is meaningless. Hence, it is a stock. (2 marks)

1. a. When HKMA buys USDs from the market, there is an outflow of USDs
from the market and reserve assets held by HKMA increase. This is recorded as a
debit in the capital and financial account. Hence, the transaction is not recorded in
the current account. It does not affect the market BoP as the transaction of a central
bank (the central banking functions are performed by HKMA in Hong Kong) is
excluded from the calculation of the market BoP. (3 marks)

According to the information given, more units of HKDs are needed in

exchange for a unit of CADs. This means the HKD has depreciated. Since the
changes in market exchange rates of foreign currencies other than the USD against
the HKD closely follow those against the USD, the USD must also have
depreciated against the CAD. (2 marks)
b.
When the CAD appreciates, the domestic prices of HKs imports from Canada rise
(Pd = Pf e and e), and the volume of imports (QM) falls. (2 marks)
HKs expenditure on imports in HKDs (= Pd QM) decreases when HKs
demand for Canadian imports is elastic. This is because the percentage drop in QM
is larger than the percentage rise in Pd, and the drop in expenditure due to the drop
in QM is larger than the rise in expenditure due to the rise in Pd. As a result, HKs
expenditure on imports from Canada in HKDs decreases. (3 marks)

However, as illustrated in part (b), when the HKD depreciates, the volume of
imports falls and the change in the total value of imports in HKDs is uncertain,
