Answer to Question 1

Fluctuations in exchange rates have little to do with changes in prices in different countries and are unable to account for the differences in cost of living. Therefore, if exchange rates are used to compare the income per capita of different countries, there is a possibility that the income per capita of a country will be overestimated.
