Predicted exchange rate = Country price of Big Mac/ US price of Big Mac
Predicted exchange rate:
Chile = 2,050 / 4.37
= 469.11 Pesos / US dollar
Hungary = 830 / 4.37
= 189.93 Forints / USD
Czech Republic = 70 / 4.37
= 16.01 Korunas / USD
Brazil = 11.25 / 4.37
= 2.57 Real/ USD
Canada = 5.41 / 4.37
= 1.24C$/ US$
<em>According to purchasing power parity, the predicted exchange rate between the Hungarian forint and the Canadian dollar is </em><em><u>153.42 Forint per C$</u></em><em>. However, the actual exchange rate is </em><em><u>217 Forint per Canadian Dollar</u></em><em>. </em>
Predicted exchange rate = 830 / 5.41 = 153.42 Forint per C$
Actual Exchange rate = 217/1 = 217 Forint per C$
