Let's assume the US dollar/Mexican peso exchange rate is 1/12 pesos and the price of a Big Mac in the United States is $3. Mexico's GDP is 16,696 billion pesos, and its population is 135 million people.
1. Assuming the countries have purchasing power parity, the price of a Big Mac in Mexico is _____ pesos. (Round your answer to the nearest integer)
2. Mexican income per capita is _____ thousand pesos. (Round your response to the nearest integer)
3. Mexican income per capita in US dollars is _____ thousand USD. (Round your response to the nearest integer)
Answer:

2. Income Per Capita = GDP/Population = 16696000/135 = 123674.1 Pesos
