You need a particular piece of equipment for your production process. An​ equipment-leasing company has offered to lease the equipment to you for $ 10,100 per year if you sign a guaranteed 5​-year lease​ (the lease is paid at the end of each​year). The company would also maintain the equipment for you as part of the lease.​ Alternatively, you could buy and maintain the equipment yourself. The cash flows from doing so are listed below​(the equipment has an economic life of 5 ​years). If your discount rate is 6.6%​, what should you​ do?

Year 0 = -$40,700

Year 1: -$2000

Year 2: -$2000

Year 3: -$2000

Year 4: -$2000

Year 5: -$2000

a.) The net present value of the leasing alternative is:

b.) The net present value of the buying alternative is:

1. Consider the following data for the “home” country of Afar (whose currency is the Afarian pound, £); the “foreign” currency is the U.S. dollar ($):

2000    2006

E £20/$                 £22/$

Phome 100                    140

Pforeign         100                     110

1. Calculate the real exchange rate for 2000 and 2006.
2. Did the Afarian pound appreciate or depreciate in nominal terms? in real terms? Explain your answer intuitively.
3. What do you think has happened to Afar’s trade balance (E- Z) between 2000 and 2006?
4. Does (relative) purchasing power parity hold for Afar between 2000 and 2006? Why or why not?
5. What would the nominal exchange rate e have to be in 2006, in order for purchasing power parity to hold (i.e., to keep the real exchange rate constant at its 2000 level)?
