Question
Suppose 0.5 British pounds (£) trade for one (1) Australian dollar (3.6 per good, and the British price level equals £2 per good.What is the real exchange rate in British goods per Australian good, rounded to two decimal points?a.0.90b.1.11c.0.56d.1.80
Solution
The real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate by the ratio of the foreign price level to the domestic price level.
In this case, the nominal exchange rate is 0.5 £/3.6/good, and the domestic price level (Britain) is £2/good.
So, the real exchange rate is 0.5 £/3.6/good / £2/good) = 0.9 British goods/Australian good.
So, the answer is a. 0.90.
