In the model of the demand and supply of euro assets use a graph to explain how a fall in productivity in Europe accompanied by a decline in European exports because of higher US tariffs affects the equilibrium exchange rate for Euro. b. Assume the price of a Big Mac is $5 in USA and 3 Euros in France. Calculate the implied exchange rate between Euro and USD (as Euro/USD). If the actual exchange rate is 0.88 Euros/USD is the Euro undervalued or overvalued? By how much? Explain.
