Holding all other factors constant, which of the following will cause the real exchange rate (\varepsilon = EP/P^{*}) to increase?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. B is correct.
Since \varepsilon = EP/P^{*}, holding the nominal exchange rate E and domestic price level P constant, a decrease in the foreign price level P^{*} increases \varepsilon.

3 · Analysis · Hard · Exchange Rates
Suppose that over the past decade, U.S. inflation was lower than inflation in Mexico, and during this same period, the U.S. dollar depreciated nominally against the Mexican peso. Based on this information, the real exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican peso:
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. B is correct.
The bilateral real exchange rate is \varepsilon = EP_{US}/P_{Mex}. A nominal depreciation of the dollar means E fell, and lower U.S. inflation means P_{US}/P_{Mex} fell. Since both components decreased, \varepsilon unambiguously decreased (a real depreciation).
