Question 2:
The country of West Ink produces regular ballpoint pens that are sold for 10 oros each. (The currency in West Ink is called the "oro".) The country of East Ink makes deluxe pens that are sold for 150 crowns each. (The currency in East Ink is called the "crown".)
The real exchange rate between West and East Ink is two regular pens per deluxe pen.
(a) What is the nominal exchange rate between the two countries? Hint: use the formula we discussed in class that relates the real and the nominal exchange rate.
(b) During one year West Ink has 10% domestic inflation and East Ink has 20% domestic inflation. Two ordinary pens are still traded for one deluxe pen.
