12.Since$35=1ounceofgold=£14,thedollarpriceof£ortheexchangerate（R=$/£）isfixedat$35/14=$2.50.Thus,fixingthepriceofgoldintermsofnationalcurrenciesunderthegoldstandardestablishesafixedrelationshiporexchangeratebetweenanytwocurrencies.Thisisthemintparity.

13.Sincetoship$2.50worthofgoldfromNewYorktoLondoncosts1%or2.5c,theU.S.goldexportpointorupperlimitoftheexchangerateequals$2.50plus2.5cor$2.525.ThereasonforthisisthatnoU.S.residentwouldpaymorethan$2.525toobtain£1,sincehecouldbuy$2.50worthofgoldfromtheU.S.treasury,shipittotheUnitedKingdomatacostof2.5candsellittotheU.K.treasuryfor£1.Thus,underthegoldstandard,theexchangerateofthepoundcanneverriseabove（andthedollardepreciatepast）theU.S.goldexportpointof$2.525.
