Answer:

we can look at this problem from 2 different point of views:

if you have francs and wish to buy pounds: then you take 12 francs and purchase 1 ounce of gold, and then you sell it for 6 pounds. This way you will only spend 2 francs per each pound instead of 2.2.

if you have pounds and want to make a gain: you take 6 pounds and purchase 13.2 francs and you then buy 1.1 ounces of gold. Then you sell the 1.1 ounces of gold in exchange for 6.6 pounds.

Any of the scenarios does not include any transaction prices nor shipping costs, it is only theoretical.

german
That statement is False

Even though is true that export supply is a portion of the domestic supply, but the moment there's an export of products,  the curve will curve above the no-trade equilibrium price ( which only stated the equilibrium price when there's no international trade)
