In the last 4 years, the exchange rate Pound to Euro depreciated (decreased) to an average of 1.13 (from 1.30 before 2016). When citizens from the UK would go on holidays in a Euro zone country (e.g. Spain), would a lower exchange rate of 1.13(Sterling Pound to Euro) instead of an exchange rate of 1.30 (Pound to Euro) be of advantage or disadvantage for British tourists in Europe? Explain.

Accel Co. produces a standard tennis racket in the Netherlands and sells it online to consumers in the United States. This racket competes with a tennis racket produced by Malibu Co. in the United States, which is of similar quality and is priced at about $140. Accel has set the price of its tennis racket at 100 euros. Assuming that the euro's exchange rate (during the sales month in question) was $1.60, then the price of Accel's racket to U.S. consumers is $_________ (enter a whole number). Because U.S. consumers could buy a Malibu racket for only $140, Accel only sold about 1,000 rackets to U.S. consumers in that month. Since then, however, the euro's value has weakened; this month, the euro's exchange rate is only $1.20. U.S. consumers can now purchase the Accel tennis racket for $_________(enter a whole number), which is less than that charged for the U.S. Malibu racket. In this month, Accel sold 5,000 rackets. The U.S. demand for this tennis racket is price-elastic (sensitive to…
