The Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory of the exchange rate implies that the currency of a country A would depreciate against that of country B if: (a) the inflation rate in A exceeds that in B (b) the normal interest rate in A exceeds that in B (c) the growth rate of GDP in B exceeds that in A (d) foreign direct investment moves from B to A
Suppose the U.S.-EU exchange rate is $1.15 per Euro, the U.S. has 5% inflation, and the EU has 10% inflation. Under these conditions the real U.S.-EU exchange rate, rounded to the nearest cent, is approximately: $1.20 per Euro $1.10 per Euro $1.30 per Euro $1.09 per Euro
The Big Mac index is used as a rough measure of purchasing power parity across countries. The Economist magazine recently included the Vietnamese dong in its calculation of the Big Mac index. A Big Mac costs $5.06 in the United States but only 60,368 dong or $2.66 in Vietnam (at the current exchange rate). What does this information suggest about the value of the real exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to the Vietnamese dong (treating the United States as the domestic economy, so the nominal exchange rate is expressed as dong per dollar)? Is the real exchange rate likely to be greater than or less than 1?

Suppose the Australian dollar floats against the US dollar and the demand for Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market is given by Q = 125 - 50E where Q denotes the quantity of AUD and E denotes the nominal exchange rate expressed in USD per AUD. The supply of Australian dollars is given by Q = 25 + 50E. What is the equilibrium nominal exchange rate? 0.751.250.501.00
Accel Co. produces a standard tennis racket in the Netherlands and sells it online to consumers in the United States. This racket competes with a tennis racket produced by Malibu Co. in the United States, which is of similar quality and is priced at about $140. Accel has set the price of its tennis racket at 100 euros. Assuming that the euro's exchange rate (during the sales month in question) was $1.60, then the price of Accel's racket to U.S. consumers is $_________ (enter a whole number). Because U.S. consumers could buy a Malibu racket for only $140, Accel only sold about 1,000 rackets to U.S. consumers in that month. Since then, however, the euro's value has weakened; this month, the euro's exchange rate is only $1.20. U.S. consumers can now purchase the Accel tennis racket for $_________(enter a whole number), which is less than that charged for the U.S. Malibu racket. In this month, Accel sold 5,000 rackets. The U.S. demand for this tennis racket is price-elastic (sensitive to…

Suppose the current spot exchange rate for the Chinese yuan is USD 0.15 per CNY. If the domestic prices of traded goods rise 70% over the next 10 years in China and 30% over the same period in the United States, then, according to the relative purchasing power parity hypothesis, the spot exchange rate for the yuan in 10 years will be approximately: USD 0.35 per CNY USD 0.60 per CNY USD 0.11 per CNY
