Suppose that the current spot exchange rate of U.S. dollars per Australian dollars, SUSD/AUD , is 0.72

Question:

Suppose that the current spot exchange rate of U.S. dollars per Australian dollars, SUSD/AUD , is 0.72 (i.e., $0.72 can be received for 1 Australian dollar). The price of Australian-produced goods increases by 5 percent (i.e., inflation in Australia, iA, is 5 percent), and the U.S. price index increases by 3 percent (i.e., inflation in the United States, iUS, is 3 percent). Calculate the new spot exchange rate of U.S. dollars for Australian dollars that should result from the differences in inflation rates.
