Suppose real GDP per capita in Sweden is 328,689 krona, and the price level in Sweden (measured using an international index) is 130. Suppose real GDP per capita in Botswana is 13,438 pula, and the price level (measured using that same index) in Botswana is 55. The market exchange rate is 1 pula = 0.84 krona. What is the ratio of real GDP per capita in Sweden to real GDP per capita in Botswana calculated at the market exchange rate?
