Australia Implied Exchange Rate by PPP = P P* 1.18 A$ / US$ 1.18 A$ / Big Mac 2.54 US$ / Big Mac E % of Deviation = 1.18 1.95 1 = -40 % A$ is undervalued by 40%
Taiwan Implied Exchange Rate by PPP = 70 NT / Big Mac 2.54 US$ / Big Mac P E = P* = 27.6 NT / US$ % of Deviation = 27.6 32.90 1 = -16 % NT is undervalued by 16 %

IMF: 世界經濟展望 2005年 中共GDP Per Capita 傳統方法 : 1461.6 U$ PPP(IMF): 6193.4 U$
利用市場匯市將產值換算為美元: e.g. 若1美元=8元人民幣 4兆人民幣合5,000億美元 物價低的國家產值會被低估 U.S China GDP 1 APPLE Price 1 US$ 4 RMB e.g. Rate 1 US$ = 8 RMB (ie.中共之物價較低) U.S. GDP= 1 US$ China GDP=0.5US$
利用以美元計價的“標準價格”去計算各國的GDP 假設蘋果的世界價格為0.75U$ U.S China GDP 1 APPLE GDP(US$) 0.75 會高估產品品質差的國家之產值 假設汽車的世界價格為20,000U$ U.S China GDP 1 CAR GDP(US$) 20,000
