Choose one country from the following list:
Japan
UK (United Kingdom – England – Great Britain)
Australia
Canada
South Korea
This final project will require you to examine the FX currency of your choice from the list above versus the U.S. Dollar over any recent consecutive five-year
period as to why the exchange rate fluctuated during that period.
The paper will contain three parts:
An Introduction
The Main Body
A Summary or Conclusion
Your paper must be a minimum of five pages in length, including a Works Cited page.
The submission will be double-spaced in a standard print font of size 12. Use a standard document format with one-inch margins. Do not use any fancy or
cursive fonts.
Be sure to use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Use the tools available in Word or other software programs such as Grammarly to check and
correct the English Composition.
Citing Your Work:
A minimum of five citations is required.
When it comes to citing source material that isn’t your own, there are two parts to a citation. The first one is the in-text citation and the second one is the
citation presented on the Works Cited page itself.
Improperly formatted citations, or missing either of the two parts of citations, constitutes Plagiarism and results in a failing grade of 1.
The citations must follow APA formatting.
Decide on a five-year period that you’ll want to analyze. Record the currency exchange rate over the five-year period showing the “significant” points in time
such as:
The starting point for the five-year period
The high points
The low points
Any “relatively” major ups and downs in the exchange rate
The ending point for the five-year period
Be sure to save the web address, as it will be used as one of the citations required later on in your Works Cited page.
Once you have the exchange rates for the five-year period, research to formulate an opinion as to why the exchange rate fluctuated over that period.
Using your knowledge of Macroeconomics, research the economics of the country selected (such as GDP figures, supply/demand, housing, and labor, just to
name a few of the economic concepts that you’ve learned about) and the events (such as political events, natural or unnatural disaster events, war events)
that had an effect on the economy of the country.
Do the same research for the economics of the United States during that five-year period.
The introduction should include what the paper is about, the currency selected, and a table listing the currency exchange rates as of specific dates for the
country selected versus the U.S. dollar. This table should have an in-text citation and a properly formatted citation on the Works Cited page so that these
figures can be verified based upon the citation presented. Work, facts, figures, and any other elements that aren’t your own must be properly cited; otherwise,
this is plagiarism and will warrant a grade of 1. This introduction should be one or two paragraphs at most and include the table.
The main body of the paper will present your opinion as to why the currency exchange rate fluctuated over the five-year period. You must support your
opinion with at least four in-text citations and also include these citations, properly formatted, on the Works Cited page.
The economic analysis needs to include both sides of the currency exchange rate. There can be no exchange rate if there’s only one side (one country).
Therefore, the analysis must include the selected currency and the U.S. dollar.
The parts of the paper should includeThe introduction which states what the paper is about and includes a table with the exchange rates over the selected five-year period listed.
The main body of the paper which discusses both economies providing an opinion as to why the exchange rate fluctuated and include in-text citations to
show support for that opinion. Remember, the in-text citations also need to be included on a Works Cited page.
The summary or conclusion, which is a summary of what was presented in the introduction and main body of the paper and it should only be one or two
paragraphs in length.
Follow the writing guidelines, use 12pt font, double spacing, and the analysis needs to be a minimum of 4 pages.
