In 1983, the Japanese yen–U.S. dollar exchange rate (USD/JPY) was 245 yen per dollar,and the dollar cost of a compact Japanese-manufactured car was $8,000. Suppose that now the exchange rate is 80 yen per dollar. Assume there has been no inflation in the yen cost of an automobile so that all price changes are due to exchange rate changes. What would the dollar price of the car be now, assuming the car’s price changes only with exchange rates?
If a Japanese car costs 1,500,000 yen, a similar American car costs $30,000, and a dollar can buy 100 yen, what are the nominal and real exchange rates?
In 1985, a given Japanese imported automobile sold for 1,476,000 yen, or $8,200. If the car still sold for the same amount of yen today but the current exchange rate is 141 yen per dollar, what would the car be selling for today in U.S. dollars?
