B. Increase the probability that PPP shall hold.
C. Increase the probability the IFE will hold.
D. B and C
Answer:
Option A. Reduce the probability that PPP shall hold
Explanation:
The reason is that Purchasing Power Parity Theory assumes:
- Perfect Market Conditions,
- No Trade Barriers exist.
- No Transaction Cost exists.
- No technological dominance of other countries
- Free Trade across the world
These are some factors that will definitely affect the reliability of the theory. Hence these assumptions are unrealistic and it is obvious that the model will not hold true because of these unrealistic assumptions and other factors like interest rate, government debt, recession, etc.
Hence the option A is correct here.
If Option A is correct then Option B is incorrect because is totally opposite.
Option C is incorrect because it assumes that their are no external factors that will be affecting the exchange rate which means that the exchange rate is not controlled by the government. This means it only holds for long term and not for short term. Hence the Option C is incorrect.

Explanation:
The computation of total decrease in earnings (pretax) in Morris Dec. 31, 2021, income statement is given below:-
Interest expense upto 31 Dec 2021 = (Total present value of lease payment - Lease payment on July 1, 2021) × 6% × 6 ÷ 12
= ($58,500 - $7,500) × 6% × 6 ÷ 12
= $51,000 × 6% × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,530
Depreciation expense upto 31 Dec 2021 = Fair value of equipment ÷ Useful life × 6 ÷ 12
= $58,500 ÷ 10 × 6 ÷ 12
= $5,850 × 6 ÷ 12
= $2,925
So, the total decrease in earnings (pretax) in Morris Dec. 31, 2021, income statement = Interest expense upto 31 Dec 2021 + Depreciation expense upto 31 Dec 2021
= $1,530 + $2,925
= $4,455
