Given,
Price level = 1
Value of U.S dollar = $1
The relation between the price level or inflation rate and value of a currency is as follows:
Value of currency =nominal currency value /price level
a. If the price level rises to 1.40, the value of dollar can be computed as:
Value of dollar=1price level
=11.40
=0.025
b. When price level fall to 0.80, the value of dollar is:
Value of dollar=1price level
=10.80
=1.25
