    equilibrium exchange rate = $0.11 = 1 peso.

    Explanation:

    The purchasing power parity theory states the future spot rate and and he current spot exchange rate between two currencies can be linked to the relative inflation rate between the two currencies. This also known as the law of one price.

    The model is given as follows:

    S = So * (1+Fc) / (1+Fh)

    Fh - inflation rate in Mexico,-

    Fc - inflation rate in US,

    So - Current spot rate

    S - Future spot rate

    S = 0.10 * (105/100)

    = $0.11

    equilibrium exchange rate = $0.11 = 1 peso.
