    0.75

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Exchange rate of NZ dollar to US dollar = 1.25

    A pound of apple in US = 2

    A pound of apple in NZ = 1

    Recall that

    Real exchange rate = nominal exchange rate * (domestic price of item : foreign price of item)

    = 1.5 * (1 : 2)

    = 1.5 * 0.5

    = 0.75

    Hence, real exchange rate = 0.75
