Answer 1

Revaluation; 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Change in the exchange rate of china and United states

= 6.40 Yuan/$ to 6.00 Yuan/$

Total change = 6.40 Yuan/$ - 6.00 Yuan/$

= 0.40 Yuan/$

This means that the value of Chinese yuan is appreciated against the dollar because now a Chinese person have to pay less for any product imported from the united states.

Percentage appreciation in Yuan:

= (Total change ÷ Initial value) × 100

= (0.40 ÷ 6.40) × 100

= 0.0625 × 100

= 6.25%
