Purchasing-power parity (PPP) theory states that exchange rates would need to equalize the prices of goods in any two countries. For the dollar price Activity Frame o be the same in both countries, a U.S. citizen would need to be able to convert $5.74 into exactly GBP 3.29. To find the exchange rate at which hamburger purchasing power is the same in both countries, divide the price in the United States by the price in the United Kingdom: PPP Exchange Rate (U.S. Dollars per British pound) = $5.74 GBP 3.29 = $1.74 per pound The exchange rate that would have equalized the dollar price of a Big Mac in the United States and the Euro area (that is, the PPP exchange rate for Big Macs) is .
