After spending a week in Moscow, you get an email from your friend in India. He can get you a really good deal on a plane ticket and wants you to meet him in Mumbai next week to continue your global studies. You have 450,000 rubles left in your money pouch. In preparation for the trio you want to exchange your Russian rubles for Indian rupee at the Moscow airport:

Spot rate USD = 1.00 EUR (or $/€) 1.1280

Spot rate RUB = 1.00 USD (or R/$) 62.40

a. What is the Russian ruble to rupee cross rate?

b. How many Indian rupee will you obtain for your rubles?

This is all the information I was given.

The new york times (nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of opec to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since june 1990.” why were the members of opec trying to agree to cut production? so they could save more oil for future consumption so they could lower the price so they could raise the price why do you suppose opec was unable to agree on cutting production? because each country has a different production capacity because each country experiences different production costs because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement the newspaper also noted opec’s view “that producing nations outside the organization, like norway and britain, should do their share and cut production.” what does the phrase “do their share” suggest about opec’s desired relationship with norway and britain? opec would like norway and britain to keep their production levels high. opec would like norway and britain to act competitively. opec would like norway and britain to join the cartel.
