11. International Comparison A watermelon costs In the U.S.In Japan US$5.00Yen 1500 Exchange rate: US$1=Yen 100, by exchange rate, a watermelon costs In the U.S.In Japan US$5.00US$15

12. International comparison To take into account of the price level difference, we use Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) to convert local currency to the U.S. dollar PPP is an exchange rate corrected for the price difference. According to the law of one price, for watermelon, PPP implies $1 = Yen 300
