Consider a basket of goods that costs $72.00 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs 224.00 pesos in Mexico. The nominal exchange rate is 14 pesos per dollar. Given the information above, the real exchange rate is 4.50 baskets of Mexican goods per basket of U.S. goods. Suppose that the nominal exchange rate increases from 14.00 pesos per dollar to 28.00 pesos per dollar. If the prices of the basket remain unchanged in both the U.S. and Mexico, the real exchange rate between the U.S. and Mexican baskets of goods will change to 9.00 baskets of Mexican goods per basket of U.S. goods.

The nominal interest rate is currently 7% per year and the current expected inflation is 1%. Suppose the Fed unexpectedly increases the growth rate of the money supply, causing the inflation rate to rise unexpectedly from 1% to 3% per year. As a result of this change in inflation, the nominal interest rate will now be 9 %. Assume that the classical dichotomy holds.

Consider a simple economy that produces only loaves of bread. The table contains information on the economy's output, money supply, velocity, and price level. For example, in 2009, the money supply was $200, the price of a loaf of bread was $5, and the economy produced 400 loaves of bread. Use the information in the table and your previous answers. The money supply grew at a rate of 8.0 % from 2009 to 2010 and the inflation rate (percentage change in prices) grew at a rate of 8.0 % from 2009 to 2010.
