Assume a country where the inflation rate is 1%, while the foreign inflation rate is 2%. The domestic currency is expeted to appreciate by 2%. Does the purchasing power parity hold in this case? If not, what is expected to happen? What mechnasims will unfold and what will happen to the prices/inflation rates and the actual/current exchange rate?

This is not a writing assignment, this is a multiple-choice question Which of the below statements about international exchange rates and PPPs (Purchasing Power Parity) would you consider to be INCORRECT? Group of answer choices The PPP only focuses on internationally tradable items, while the exchange rate has a broader focus and includes both internationally tradable and items that are not internationally tradable. Exchange rates include only the values of internationally tradable items, while the PPP includes both internationally tradable items as well as those which are not internationally tradable items but are used by people in different countries. The rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another is the exchange rate. If $25 can purchase a bundle of goods in the U.S. and if a comparable bundle of goods will cost 750 rubles in Russia, then the PPP between the U.S. dollar and the Russian ruble would be $25=750 Russian rubles.
We look at the trade of gas between Russia and the EU and assumes that both areas' supply curves slope upwards and their demand curves slope downwards in the diagram with quantity on the horizontal axis and price on the vertical axis. To make the situation simple, we also initially assume that the exchange rate is constant, and it is 1 (so that we do not need to differentiate between the prices i Russia and the EU). In the autarky equilibria, prices are higher in the EU than in Russia. Unless otherwise specified, there are no trading costs, and the capacity of the pipelines is not binding (ie with free trade the prices are basically the same in the EU and Russia). (a) Draw and show the supply of export goods and the demand for import goods in relation to the two areas' supply and demand curves (three islands next to each other). (b) What happens (to welfare in the two countries and consumer surplus/producer surplus) if the EU stops importing Russian gas? (c) Without Nord Stream 1/2 in…
If a "Big Mac costs $4.00 in the United States and 200 yen in Japan, then the implied "purchasing-power-parity" exchange rate using the "Big Mac" is __________. If the actual exchange rate in the market is 120 yen = $1, then an economist would say that the actual Japanese yen is __________ in comparison with its "purchasing-power-parity" rate.
Suppose the interest parity condition holds. Also assume that the one-year interest rate in the United States is 6% and that the one-year interest rate in SA is 5%. What does this imply about the current versus future expected exchange rate (for the U.S. dollars and SA Rand)? Explain.
Consider a country that is facing a supply crisis, and is planning to increase their imports as a way to make more goods available for households and businesses. Which movement in the exchange rate would benefit that policy? 1-Making the domestic currency stronger, which would harm exports but benefit imports 2-Making the domestic currency stronger, which would benefit both exports and imports 3-Making the domestic currency weaker, which would benefit both exports and imports 4-Making the domestic currency weaker, which would harm exports but benefit imports
