Answer to Question 1

a) The price of an American computer in Germany is 1,000  0.9 euros per dollar, which is 900 euros.
b) The price of a German car in the United States is 10,000 euros/0.9 euros per dollar = 11,111.
c) The new exchange rate is 0.9 euros per dollar  1.1 = 0.99 euros per dollar. So the new price of a U.S. computer in Germany is 1,000  0.99 euros per dollar = 990 euros. The price of a U.S. computer in Germany rises by 10 percent.
d) The new price of a German car in the United States is 10,000 euros/0.99 euros per dollar = 10,101. So the price of a German car in the United States falls by about 10 percent.

Answer to Question 2

Four factors influence the demand for money. First is the price level. An increase in the price level increases the nominal demand for money. Second is the interest rate. An increase in the interest rate raises the opportunity cost of holding money and decreases the quantity of money demanded. Third is real GDP. An increase in real GDP increases the demand for money. Fourth is financial innovation. Innovations that lower the cost of switching between money and other assets decrease the demand for money.
