Question
Suppose the exchange rate between the Danish krone and the U.S. dollar is 14 DKK =...
Answers
Given,
14 DKK = $1 => 1 DKK = $1/14 = $0.0714
Q1. Therefore, 1 DKK = $0.0714
220 CLP = $1 => 1 CLP = 1$1/220 = $0.0045
Q2. Therefore, 1 CLP = $0.0045
As we have, 1 DKK = $1/14 = 1/14 x 220 CLP = 15.7143 CLP
Q3. Therefore, 1 DKK = 15.7143 CLP
1 CLP = $1/220 = 1/220 x 14 DKK = 0.0636 DKK
Q4. Therefore, 1 CLP = 0.0636 DKK
Given that the changed exchange rates are 12 DKK = $1 and 240 CLP = $1
Since, 1 USD can purchase less DKK now, USD has depreciated against DKK. 1 USD can purchase higher DKK now. Hence, USD has appreciated against CLP
From the rule of transitivity, we have that if USD has depreciated against DKK and CLP has depreciated against USD, then CLP has depreciated against DKK (logical rule)
Hence, the correct option is A. U.S.dollar has depreciated against the Danish Krone
