Answer to Question 1

The theory of purchasing power parity states that the prices of tradeable goods, when expressed in a common currency, will tend to equalize across countries as a result of exchange rate changes. The law of one price states that arbitrage will continue until the price of the good in question is identical in both markets (excluding transaction, transportation and other costs).
