Solution

To calculate the exchange rate for purchasing power parity (PPP), you need to divide the cost of the basket of goods in Japan by the cost of the same basket of goods in Australia.

So, 125,000 yen / $1,000 = 125 yen.

Therefore, for purchasing power parity to exist, $1 should trade for 125 Japanese yen.

So, the correct answer is b. 125.
