Solution

The theory of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) states that the exchange rate between two countries should equal the ratio of the two countries' price level of a fixed basket of goods and services.

If the inflation rate is higher in the Eurozone than in Australia, it means that the price level in the Eurozone is increasing at a faster rate than in Australia.

According to the PPP, the exchange rate should adjust to reflect this change in price levels. Specifically, the value of the Euro should decrease relative to the Australian dollar.

Therefore, the nominal exchange rate, expressed in euros per Australian dollar, should increase. This means that you would get more euros for each Australian dollar.

So, the correct answer is: The nominal exchange rate, expressed in euros per Australian dollar, increases.
