Question
If the demand for dollars outstrips its supply and if the supply of Japanese yen is greater than the demand for it, what will happen?
Select one:
a. The dollar will appreciate against the yen.
b. The exchange rates will remain the same.
c. The dollar will depreciate against the yen.
d. The yen will appreciate against the dollar.
Solution
The correct answer is:
a. The dollar will appreciate against the yen.
Here's why:
-
If the demand for dollars is greater than its supply, it means more people want dollars than there are dollars available. This increased demand relative to supply will cause the value of the dollar to increase, or appreciate.
-
On the other hand, if the supply of Japanese yen is greater than the demand for it, it means there are more yen available than people want. This increased supply relative to demand will cause the value of the yen to decrease, or depreciate.
-
Therefore, when comparing the two currencies, the dollar will appreciate against the yen.
