[All L3M1 Questions]

The price of one currency expressed in terms of another currency is called the:

ABase rate

BEquilibrium rate

CExchange rate

DInterest rate

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Exchange rate - the rate at which the currencies are exchanged. This rate can vary frequently, some-times several times per hour, depending on circumstances.

The interest rate is the rate charged on loans - the cost of borrowing.

The base rate is the basic interest rate used for agreeing loans within an economy. This rate is nor-mally set by the government or the central bank. Loans within that economy will usually be at a higher rate than the base rate, often much higher.

The equilibrium rate (more commonly 'equilibrium price') is the rate at which supply and demand meet, not necessarily related to currency.

Exchange rate, easy peasy. Although I do wish I could just use bitcoins for everything and never have to worry about exchange rates!

I'll go with exchange rate. Seems like the most logical choice, unless the exam writer is trying to trick us with some obscure financial jargon.

Exchange rate, without a doubt. Although I do wonder how the exchange rate is calculated. Probably some kind of magic, right?

It's actually not magic, the exchange rate is calculated based on supply and demand for each currency.
