Assume the 1981 S/riyal exchange rate was $.46/riyal. Suggestion: Using the purchasing power parity, adjust the exchange rate to compensate for inflation. That is, determine the relative rate of inflation between the United States and Saudi Arabia and multiply this times $/riyal of 46. What should the...

The base price level is 100 in 1987. In 1988, the price level at Germany and United States stands at 102 and 106, respectively. If the 1987 USD/DEM exchange rate was 0.54, what should the exchange rate be in 1988? In fact, the exchange rate in 1988 was USD/DEM 0.56. What might account for the discrepancy?

Two countries, Great Britain and the United States, produce just one good: beef. Suppose that the price of beef in the United States is $2.80 per pound, and in Britain it is £3.70 per pound. (a) According to purchasing power parity (PPP) theory, what should the $/£ spot exchange rate be? The Purchasing power parity is an exchange rate that compare different countries’ currencies through the prices of identical products or services. The prices vary due to transportation costs, taxes,...

Suppose that the one-year interest rate is 5.0 percent in the United States and 3.5 percent in Germany, and that the spot exchange rate is $1.12/€ and the one-year forward exchange rate, is $1.16/€. Assume that an arbitrageur can borrow up to $1,000,000. This is an example where interest rate parity holds. This is an example of an arbitrage opportunity; interest rate parity does not hold. This is an example of a Purchasing Power Parity violation and an arbitrage opportunity....
