The nominal exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another currency. A nominal exchange rate specifies how many units of one country's currency are needed to buy one unit of another country's currency. Suppose the following table presents nominal exchange rate data for November 26, 2014, in terms of U.S. dollars per unit of foreign currency. Use the information in the table to answer the questions that follow. Foreign Currency Brazilian real (BRL) Canadian dollar (CAD) Euro (EUR) Japanese Yen (JPY) Mexican peso (MXN) United Kingdom Pound (GBP) Cost of One Unit of Foreign Currency (Dollars) 0.5148 0.9213 1.3457 0.008226 0.0926 1.9695 Suppose that on November 26, 2014, a marble statue handmade in Canada is priced at CAD 1,700. The approximate U.S. dollar price of the statue would be If the nominal exchange rate for the U.S. dollar-euro rises from $1.3457 to $1.547555 per euro, the euro in value, or , relative to the U.S. dollar.

a) If a country has exhibited a lower inflation than its major trading partner country, how would you expect this to affect the currency value for that country with respect to its trading partner? Why may this expected relationship not always occur? b) Assume that the inflation rate in India is expected to increase substantially. How will this affect India’s nominal interest rates and the value of Indian rupee (INR)? If the International Fisher Effect (IFE) holds, how will the nominal return to the U.S. institutional investors investing in Indian financial markets be affected by the higher inflation in India? Explain. c) Explain why the high inflation in India may lead to severe pressure on the INR.
Explain the impact on US export and import if the US dollar has depreciated in comparison with other currencies. For example, the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar was 1.36 per U.S dollar in 2003. Now in 2020, it is 1.31 Canadian dollars per U.S.dollar under this case the dollar has suffered a slight depreciation. Also, when the dollar has depreciated in the case of the Chinese Yuan from 8.27 in 2003 to 6.69 yuans in 2020 per U.S dollar. Also, when there is not either appreciation or depreciation from 2003 to 2020 which is the case of Saudi Arabia currency its exchange rate remains the same 3.75 Riyals per dollar since 2003. Then explain the impact of U.S. exports and imports under these scenarios.

4) Suppose the price level in India is 9,500, the price level in the United States is 140, and the price level in Brazil is 750. Suppose the current nominal exchange rates are 75 Indian rupee per dollar and 5 Brazilian real per dollar. Calculate the real exchange rates (rounded to two decimal places) between each pair of countries. Note that you will have to first calculate the nominal exchange rate between Brazil and South India before calculating the real exchange rate between those two countries. (4
