Answer:

Question leaves out the price of a Big Mac which is $4.37.

Predicted exchange rate = Country price of Big Mac/ US price of Big Mac

Predicted exchange rate:

Chile = 2,640/4.37 = 604.12 Pesos / US dollar

Hungary = 850/4.37 = 194.51 Forints / USD

Czech Republic = 85 / 4.37 = 19.45 Korunas / USD

Brazil = 16.8/4.37 = 3.84 Real/ USD

Canada = 6.77/4.37 = 1.55 C$/ US$

According to purchasing power parity, the predicted exchange rate between the Hungarian forint and the Canadian dollar is 125.55 Forint per C$. However, the actual exchange rate is 210.53 forints per Canadian dollar.

Predicted exchange rate = 850/6.77 = 125.55 Forint per C$

Actual Exchange rate = 280/1.33 = 210.53 Forint per C$
