Answer:

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$

irakobra [83]

Answer: B. 20.00%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate does not include those who have given up on finding a job.

Unemployment rate = Unemployed people / Labor force

Unemployed people:

= Original unemployed + half the new graduates

= 1,000 + (1,000 / 2)

= 1,500 people

Labor force:

= Unemployed + employed people

= 1,500 + 6,000

= 7,500 people

Unemployment rate:

= 1,500 / 7,500

= 20%
