Turkey experienced hyperinflation in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The exchange rate for the Turkish lira was TRL650,000=$1 on January 1, 2001. In 2001, inflation in Turkey was 140%, while in the USA was only 2.5%. This led the Central Bank of Turkey to implement a mini-devaluation policy at the monthly rate of 7.5%. What was the official exchange rate on December 31, 2001? Was the Turkish lira properly valued? (Hint: Pay attention to the monthly devaluation process)

There is a flexible exchange rate system and only two countries in the world, the United States and Mexico. If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that both the dollar and the peso will appreciate, although the peso will appreciate before the dollar appreciates. both the dollar and the peso will depreciate, although the peso will depreciate before the dollar depreciates. the dollar will appreciate, and the peso will depreciate. There is not enough information to answer the question. the dollar will depreciate, and the peso will appreciate.
Suppose Angola is experiencing an episode of hyperinflation. The currency in Angola is the second kwanza (which is actually the fourth currency called kwanza that has circulated since 1977). The currency code is (AOA). Select all choices below that are implied by the statement if parity conditions (PPP, IRP, FEP) hold: Nominal interest rates in Angola will exceed nominal interest rates in countries not experiencing hyperinflation. The value of the AOA is expected to drop to zero. Real interest rates in Angola will fall relative to countries without hyperinflation. The AOA is expected to depreciate against any currencies that are not experiencing hyperinflation.
