Assume that five years ago a euro was trading at a direct method quotation of $.8767. Also assume that this year the indirect method quotation was .8219 euros per U.S. dollar.
- Calculate the euro “currency per U.S. dollar” five years ago.
- Calculate the “U.S. dollar equivalent” of a euro this year.
- Determine the percentage change (appreciation or depreciation) of the U.S. dollar value of one euro between five years ago and this year.
