(a) Suppose that the current exchange rate between the U.S. dollar ($) and the pound sterling (£) is Se/$=0.75 (i.e. $1 = £0.75). The basket of goods and services consumed by a typical household cost £200 in the UK and $300 in the U.S. A one-year U.S. Treasury bill yields an annual rate of retum of 3%, while a comparable UK Treasury bill yields 5%. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep the U.S. inflation rate at 2% over the coming year, while the Bank of England is expected to keep the UK inflation rate at 3% over the same period. (1) Is the pound overvalued or undervalued relative to the dollar by the standard of absolute purchasing power parity?
