Find the profit to be made on $1,000,000. Show all your calculation and drop the decimal points except for the exchange rate. Consider the case of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and German euro, where S is the nominal German-euro-per-U.S.- dollar exchange rate in Table 1. Indicate the formula and find the real exchange rate in year 2019 and 2020. Based on the findings, what can you conclude on the value of U.S. dollar relative to German euro?
