Suppose we compare GDP per person in Botswana and the United States in two ways: first using the nominal exchange rate and then again using the relative price-based conversion. The GDP per person in Botswana calculated using the exchange rate method is $800 while that calculated using the relative price-based conversion is $1,000. What is the relative price ratio between Botswana and the U.S. (i.e., the price level for Botswana relative to the United States)? Round your answer to the nearest two-decimal digit number. For instance, if your numerical answer is 1.458, enter 1.46 in the space below.

- The following table lists 2012 GDP per capita for four countries. The data are given in the national currencies of the countries. It also lists the price of a Big Mac in local currency in each country in 2012. The price of a Big Mac in the United States in 2012 was $4.10. Using the Big Mac as a representative commodity common to the countries, calculate the purchasing power parity (PPP)-adjustment factor for each country, and then the PPP level of GDP per capita in each country.
