    The answer is option (d) $2.76

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The cost of a particular brand of toothpaste = 4 pounds

    The exchange rate =.80

    Real exchange rate = 1.16

    Now

    Real exchange rate is given as:

    R = real exchange rate

    e = nominal exchange rate

    PF = foreign price

    P = domestic price

    Suppose we say that U. S. is a domestic country and British is a foreign country we have the following formula below:

    R = e (PF/P)

    R = 1.16

    e = 0.80

    PF = 4

    Thus

    R = e (PF/P)

    1.16 = 0.80 (4/P)

    P = 3.2/1.16

    = 2.7586207

    = $2.76

    Therefore, The U. S rice of the same toothpaste is about $2.76
