Respuesta :

Answer:

103.4709          

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

U.S inflation rate = 3%

Japan inflation rate = 1.5%

Current exchange rate = 105

Now the new exchange rate for the yen is

= Current exchange rate × (1 + Japan inflation rate) ÷ (1 + U.S inflation rate)

= 105 × (1 + 1.5%) ÷ (1 + 3%)

= 105 × (1.015 ÷ 1.03)

= 105 × 0.985436893

= 103.4709
