Consider a generalization of Median-of-Five algorithm which hasa parameter α for an integer α ≥ 1. Instead of partitioning inputinto n/5 blocks of size 5, the algorithm partitions the input inton/(2α + 1) blocks of size 2α + 1 (assume n is a power of 2α + 1).Note that the algorithm becomes the median-of-five algorithm when α= 2. a) Follow the same steps as slide 14 of lecture notes to derivea recursive formula for the time complexity T(n) of this algorithmas a function of n and α (there is no need to solve the recursion;just deduce the recursive definition of T(n)). b) Assume α = 3 (the algorithm will be “median of 7”). Rewritethe recursion for this particular α and try to solve the recursionby guessing that T(n) ∈ O(n). Follow the same steps as in theslides and indicate whether we can state T(n) ∈ O(n). c) [bonus] Assume α = 1 (the algorithm will be “median of 3”).Rewrite the recursion for this particular α and solve the recursionto provide a tight bound (in terms of Θ) for the time complexity ofthis algorithm.

41. The asset market approach to exchange rates
emphasizes the role of portfolio repositioning by international financial
investors.

42. If the domestic interest rate increases, while
the foreign interest rate and the spot exchange rate expected at some
appropriate time in the future remain constant, the return comparison shifts in
favor of investments in bonds denominated in the foreign currency.

43. Expectations are destabilizing if they are
based on the belief that exchange rates eventually return to the values
consistent with basic economic conditions.

44. The law of one price works well for heavily
traded commodities, either at a point in time or for changes over time.

45. The law of one price does not hold closely for
most products that are traded internationally, including nearly all
manufactured products.

46. Economists believe that money demand
determines the price level in the long run.

47. The
quantity theory of money says that in any country the money supply is equated
to the demand for money, which is directly proportional to the money value of
the gross domestic product.

48. Over the long-run, a country with a relatively
high inflation rate tends to have a depreciating currency.

49. Exchange rates are much more
volatile in the long-run than in the short-run.

50. Models designed to predict
short-run exchange rate fluctuations are more accurate than models designed to
predict long-run trends.

51. The law of one price is based on
the purchasing power parity theory.

52. Purchasing power parity theory
holds more under monetary shocks than real shocks.

53. Real exchange rate can be
used as an indicator of a country’s international price competitiveness.

54. Purchasing power parity theory
holds more for input prices (wages) than product prices.

55. The asset market approach
seeks to explain exchange rates by focusing on demands and supplies of national
moneys
