8. Suppose that last year, the nominal exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the British pound was ¥150.0 per £1.0, one unit of Japanese output cost ¥1300, and one unit of British output cost £8.0.a. What was the real exchange rate between the U.K. and Japan last year, expressed as the cost of British output (i.e. – the quantity of Japanese output that exchanges for 1 unit of British output)? In which country were goods more expensive last year?
If the US dollar appreciates in value vis-à-vis the NZ dollar, then, Group of answers. Exporters of goods from NZ to the US are worse off since NZ goods are now relatively more expensive. Tourists from NZ in the US are better off since their NZ dollars do not buy as much in the US as they used to. The US students who come to Auckland for an exchange semester are better off. NZ importers of US goods are better off since US goods are now relatively cheaper.

Suppose that a country experiences inflation while the nominal exchange rate and the price level in its trading partner remain unchanged. What will happen to the country's real exchange rate and to net exports?
Exercise 2 You are given the following information. The current dollar-pound exchange rate is $2 per pound. A US basket that costs $100 would cost $120 in the UK. For the next year, the Fed is expected to keep US inflation at 2% and the Bank of England is expected to keep UK inflation at 3%. The speed of convergence to absolute PPP is 15% per year. Show Transcribed Text (c) How much is the dollar overvalued/undervalued?
Central Banks are responsible for setting interest rates not the value of the domestic currency. The Bank of Canada doesn’t try to set the dollar’s exchange rate. "We let markets set its value. Because the Bank of Canada lets the Canadian dollar float, we can focus on setting interest rates to maintain inflation at 2 percent in Canada" https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/08/understanding-exchange-rates/Read the above explainer from the Bank of Canada and then offer your own understanding of why the Canadian dollar moves against other currencies. Use recent movements in the C$ against the US$ to illustrate your comments.
See for Yourself Case Taking a Bite Out of Purchasing Power Parity with the Big Mac Index In 1986, Pam Woodall introduced the Big Mac Index as an illustration of purchasing power parity (PPP), which is the theory that currencies will go up or down in value to keep their purchasing power consistent across countries. Initially a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their "correct" level, the Big Mac Index has grown into a global standard and is now featured in many economic textbooks and dozens of academic studies. Many refer to this as "Burgernomics." The Big Mac Index is based on the theory of PPP that says, in the long run, exchange rates should move toward the rate that would equalize the prices of an identical basket of goods and services in any two countries. This means that the price of an item in one currency should be the same price in any other currency, adjusted for that currency's exchange rate. The Big Mac Index was never intended as a precise gauge of currency…
