问题如下:
The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar (CAD) and US dollar (USD) is 1.3245(CAD/USD=1.3245). Assume that the Canadian dollar (CAD) has appreciated 15 percent against US dollar (USD) during the past month. How much has the US dollar depreciated against the Canadian dollar?
选项:
A.15%
B.More than 15%
C.Less than 15%
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Percentage Change in A Currency
解析:A货币对B货币的升值幅度不等于B货币对A货币的贬值幅度。
在本题中,[1/(1 + 0.15)] – 1 = (1/1.15) – 1 = -0.1304, or -13.04%.
一开始是 1.3245 CAD/USD,那么即为(1/1.3245) USD/CAD,则appreciated后,为 (1/1.3245+15%) USD/CAD = 0.905 USD/CAD. 所以这个时候,CAD/USD为 1.10497,再来算美元贬值,不就是(1.10497-1.3245)/1.3245=- 16.6% 不应该就选B嘛?
