Answer:

falls and the exchange rate fall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase in general price level is referred to an inflation.

Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels

Types of inflation

1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise

2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect

When price level rises, the real value of money decreases

For example, imagine that price of an apple is $5. If you have $100, you can by 20 apples. If price level increases by 100%, $100 would only buy 10 apples. thus, the real value of money decreases

Also exchange rate falls. exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another currency

If price level increases, domestic currency would become cheaper. As a result, exchange rate falls
