The Danish krone changes from A$0.7877 each at the start of 2020 to A$0.8027 each at the end of 2020. Over that same year, inflation in the prices of all goods and services in Denmark is 7.3%, whereas in Australia it is 3.9%. What is the amount of real decrease (-) or real increase (+) that the Danish krone experiences against the Australian dollar during 2020?
To determine the real changes we will determine changes arises in total and changes arises due to inflation.
Real Changes = Forward Rate - Forward Rate ( as Per PPP Theory)
= A$ 0.8027 - A$ 0.7627
= A$0.04
Therfore Real increase in denish Kroner is by A$ 0.04
Calculation of Forward Rate using Purchasing Power Parity Theory (PPP Theory)
Forward Rate = Spot rate * ( 1+ ia) / (1 + id)
= 0.7877 * 1.039 / 1.073
= A$ 0.7627
Here ia = Inflation Rate in Australia
id = Inflation Rate in Denmark
