Early in September 1983, it took 250 Japanese yen to equal $1. Nearly 28 years later, in August 2011, that exchange rate had fallen to 125 yen to $1. Assume that the price of a Japanese-manufactured automobile was $8,250 in September 1983 and that its price changes were in direct relation to exchange rates.
Has the price, in dollars, of the automobile increased or decreased during the 28-year period because of changes in the exchange rate?
-Select-increased decreased Item 1
What would the dollar price of the automobile be in August 2011, again assuming that the car's price changes only with exchange rates? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
