Suppose the current exchange rate for the Polish zloty is Z 2.92. The expected exchange rate in three years is Z 3.00. What is the difference in the annual inflation rates for the United States and Poland over this period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

The answer is 91% or Supposed to be 0.00905

Explanation:

We can use the relative purchasing power parity equation:

Ft = S0 × [1 + (hFC – hUS)]t

We can find:

Z 3.00 =Z 2.92 [1 + (hFC – hUS)]3    

hFC – hUS = (Z 3.00/Z 2.92)1/3 – 1

hFC – hUS = .00905

The Inflation in Poland is expected to exceed that in the U.S. by 91% over this period.
