Select TRUE for each option that is consistent with the currency of Ghana, the Cedi, appreciating. Select FALSE otherwise. Note the term "exchange rate" is being used intentionally loosely. 1. In 2005, the exchange rate was 0.9 Cedi/US Dollar. In 2009, the exchange rate was 1.4 Cedi/US Dollar.(T/F) 2. Using 1990 as the base year (i.e. the year in which the Index is set to 100), the Cedi Currency index was 14 in 1998. (T/F) 3. After IMF intervention in 2023, one Cedi could be sold for more US Dollars. (T/F)

For the year 2015, prices rose in Venezuela by 100%. The official exchange rate was fixed at EBF/$=30 for the entire year. Respond to each of the following by agreeing (true) or disagreeing (false) and explain your reasoning. a. Suppose it is now 2016 and for you, a U.S. resident, it is a good time to travel to Venezuela but only if you are able to exchange at the official rate. b. You are the CEO of Chevron, and your bank accounts in Venezuela are full of BFs. Now (2016) is a good time to exchange the BFs for dollars, but only if you can exchange at the official rate. c. There exists a parallel (unofficial) exchange rate that has depreciated by 200% over the past year. Now (still 2016) is a good time to import to the U.S. things made in Venezuela, but only if you can exchange at the parallel rate. d. Interest on bank loans last year in Venezuela was 100%. You could have made a lot of money if you had borrowed BF at the beginning of 2015 and paid it back in 2016, but only if you exchanged at the parallel rate.
