Consider relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and remember the consumer price index (CPI) provides the price level in a countr

pychu [463]

Answer:

0.7156 USD/CAD

Explanation:

Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:

S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)

==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period

==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period

==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country

==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.

Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country

I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%

I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%

On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:

S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)

S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996

S(1) = 0.764*0.936635

S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD

If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD
