    Dear Mr John,

    In my previous calculations using purchasing power parity formula, i normally use the based country’s inflation rate as my denominator and the country to borrow or receive from as my numerator and i have always gotten it right.

    But in the case of Buryecs co, which is base in the Eurozone and to operate a franchise in Wirtonia, I used the same method and found that the examiner did a reverse.

    Kindly clarify this for me. Thanks.

    The ‘base’ currency (as I explain in my lectures) is the currency against which the other currency is being quoted.

    So here, the exchange rate is quoted as €0.1430 = $1, so for the purposes of PPP, the $ is the base currency.
