The local currency in Peru is the Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PNS). In 2020, the official exchange rate between the PNS and the USD was 3 (i.e., 3 PNS = 1USD). Table 1 gives local currency prices of three goods in Peru and the United States. Table 1 also gives the expenditure shares of each good (i.e., what fraction of total expenditures do people spend on each good). Item Table 1.
