Why exchange rates matter Suppose that you go on vacation to Canada every summer. Last year, the hotel room where you stayed cost C$100 per night, and it costs the same this year. The exchange rate was 1.04 US$/C$ last year, and it is 0.95 US$/C$ this year. This means you will pay per night this year than you paid last year. The U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar exchange rate is essentially the price of a Canadian dollar in terms of U.S. dollars. When this price falls, the Canadian dollar is said to depreciate against the U.S. dollar. Thus, from your analysis, you can conclude that when the Canadian dollar depreciates against the U.S. dollar, Canadian goods and services become expensive for Americans.
