The simple case of pricing with market power assumes (a) all consumers are charged the same price, (b) the firm sells one product, (c) demand exists in one time period, and (d) competitors do not pursue pricing games. Discuss what happens as each assumption is relaxed.

A key dynamic within any Multi National Corporation (MNC) is management of cash and also foreign exchange risk exposure. Cash management is critical and also heavily influenced by global dynamics. Within the Caribbean and South American jurisdiction, the economic framework is tightly connected with the major Asian economies of China and Japan, as well as the United States and the United Kingdom. The Caribbean and South American economy respectively, have been a barometer of the global economic cycle. For the South American economy, many Multi-National Corporations have made significant investments in order to achieve a reduction in the production cost of goods and also diversification benefits. Despite the benefits that could possibly materialize, some South American countries have weak banking systems and also have not been resilient through Global market shocks and Financial Crisis. This weakness may be as a result of politics and the quality of prudential supervision. Given this context, respond to the following questions which require research with respect to the localized context and also within the current market dynamics.

“For a fixed exchange rate system to work successfully, the government that oversees its operations must be able to make tight budget and monetary policies prevail”. Agree or disagree and justify your position within the context of the Caribbean and South American Economy?

1. Sometimes when the U. S. economy starts pulling out of a recession, the unemployment rate actually rises for a time rather than immediately falling. This is commonly referred to as a "jobless recovery". There are 2 reasons for this strange phenomenon occurring. What are the 2 reasons? Explain. (Hint: Refer to the Extra PPT on Unemployment and Chapter 6 of the course text! You could also do an Internet search for "What is a jobless recovery?"!)

2. There are 3 types of unemployment in economics: frictional, structural, and cyclical. The first 2 types together constitute NATURAL UNEMPLOYMENT,, while the 3rd type is the excess unemployment above the natural unemployment (where the natural unemployment rate is believed to be at most 5% for the U. S. economy). Given this, when the economy pulls out of a recession, which type of unemployed workers would be hired first, those who are structurally unemployed or those who are cyclically unemployed? Explain why.

3. During the period 1983-1984, the inflation rate in Israel was 370% . Given this, if a dinner cost 10 shekels in an Israeli restaurant at the end of 1983, how much would that same dinner cost at the end of 1984 in Israel? Show all work and calculations and explain!

4. Between the period 1980 to 1985, policy makers in the United Kingdom worked to lower the inflation rate in the country. They were successful in their attempts. Given this, explain what happened to the unemployment rate in the United Kingdom during this period as a result of this successful policy. (Note that a lower but still positive inflation rate is known in economics as disinflation!)
