If the UK has lower inflation, the GBP should appreciate against the USD, right? But I'm confused about how much it will change.

I think we practiced a similar question where we calculated future exchange rates based on inflation rates. I might need to double-check my calculations.

I remember that purchasing power parity adjusts for inflation differences, but I'm not sure how to apply it here.

I'm a little confused by this question. I thought unit tests were more about checking the overall integration of a system, but I guess that's not the case. Let me re-read the options.
