Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

When the exchange rate changes, it affects how much of another country's goods we can buy. First, if the Canadian dollar weakens compared to the peso, Canadian consumers will start buying more Mexican goods because they seem cheaper. This increase in demand for Mexican goods leads to a higher demand for pesos since Canadians need pesos to pay for those goods. As Canadians buy more pesos, the supply of Canadian dollars increases in the market. Finally, as more pesos are needed, the peso appreciates, making it more valuable compared to the Canadian dollar.

Detailed Explanation

When the peso becomes stronger (appreciates), it costs more Canadian dollars to buy pesos. Other options are incorrect because This suggests that demand for pesos comes before any price change; This order implies Canadians buy more goods before any currency change.
