Homework Answers

Answer #1

1 Cup of Trung Nguyen coffee = 50,000 Vietnam dong (VND)

1 South African rand (ZAR) = 2,000 dong

So, 1 Cup of Coffee in South African Rand = 50,000 dong/2000 dong per ZAR

= ZAR 25

So, the equilibrium price of the cup of coffee in South African rand is ZAR 25 and not ZAR100,000,000

So, the Statment is False.
