The Big Mac, an International Comparison

What “Implied” Exchange Rate Is: Take China for example. You have the actual price a Big Mac sells for in China… 16 Yuan… or $2.61. But the actual exchange rate of dollar to Yuan is 6.13 to 1. This means that if China sold Big Macs solely on the basis of the actual exchange rate, it would cost more than 16 Yuan. They don’t. They are undervaluing it by 42.8 percent. So… by that measure…the implied exchange rate is 3.51 yuan to 1.

What is PPP?
PPP stands for Purchasing Power Parity.

Example: If a soccer ball costs $10 in the U.S., it should cost $7.40 in France when the exchange rate is .74 to $1. Effectively, both cost $10.
The relative version of PPP is calculated as:

Where: ”S” represents exchange rate of currency 1 to currency 2 ”P1″ represents the cost of good “x” in currency 1 ”P2″ represents the cost of good “x” in currency 2
