Suppose the US dollar is currently trading at a nominal exchange rate of e=120 Yen. If the inflation rate in the US is 5% over the next period when the inflation rate in Japan is 15% during the same period, what is the predicted value of the nominal exchange rate (in Yen) in the next period if purchasing power parity holds? Round to two decimals

Suppose $2, 400 CAD could be used to purchase $2, 086.96 USD last year. Part (a): What was the nominal exchange rate last year? Be sure to quote your answer in the proper format (example: CAD = 1 USD). Roud your answer to the nearest cent (two decimal places: 0.50). Part (b): This year, if the exchange rate is $1.02 CA) = $1 USD, has the USD experienced a nominal appreciation or a nominal depreciation? Part (c): How will this change to the nominal exchange rate impact Canada's NX levels? Use a few sentences to explain how you arrived at this conclusion.
