Results of exchange rate changes
Early in September 1983, it took 275 Japanese yen to equal $1. Nearly 28 years later, in August 2011, that exchange rate had fallen to 105 yen to $1. Assume that the price of a Japanese-manufactured automobile was $9,000 in September 1983 and that its price changes were in direct relation to exchange rates.
Has the price, in dollars, of the automobile increased or decreased during the 28-year period because of changes in the exchange rate?
Increase or Decrease
What would the dollar price of the automobile be in August 2011, again assuming that the car's price changes only with exchange rates? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
