The Big Mac index is used as a rough measure of purchasing power parity across countries. The Economist magazine recently included the Vietnamese dong in its calculation of the Big Mac index. A Big Mac costs $5.06 in the United States but only 60,368 dong or $2.66 in Vietnam (at the current exchange rate). What does this information suggest about the value of the real exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to the Vietnamese dong (treating the United States as the domestic economy, so the nominal exchange rate is expressed as dong per dollar)? Is the real exchange rate likely to be greater than or less than 1?
