# Computing Real Exchange RatesConsider a basket of consumer goods that costs $18 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs JPY 570 in Japan.Holding constant the cost of the basket in each country, compute the real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates in the following table.| Cost of Basket in U.S. (Dollars) | Cost of Basket in Japan (Yen) | Nominal Exchange Rate (Yen per dollar) | Real Exchange Rate (Baskets of Japanese goods per basket of U.S. goods) ||----------------------------------|-------------------------------|----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| 18 | 570 | 95.00 | || 18 | 570 | 76.00 | |To calculate the real exchange rate, use the formula:\[ \text{Real Exchange Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Nominal Exchange Rate} \times \text{Cost of U.S. Basket}}{\text{Cost of Japanese Basket}} \right) \]Fill in the blanks to compute the real exchange rates for each nominal exchange rate scenario.

Given information: The nominal exchange rate measured the value of the dollar in terms of yen. The…
