You are planning a ski vacation to Mt. Blanc in​ Chamonix, France, one year from now. You are negotiating the rental of a chateau. The​ chateau's owner wishes to preserve his real income against both inflation and exchange rate​ changes, and so the present weekly rent of euro9 comma 811 ​(Christmas season) will be adjusted upward or downward for any change in the French cost of living between now and then. You are basing your budgeting on purchasing power parity​ (PPP). French inflation is expected to average 3.5​% for the coming​ year, while U.S. dollar inflation is expected to be 2.6 %. The current spot rate is ​$1.3615​/euro. What should you budget as the U.S. dollar cost of the​ 1-week rental?
