Exactly, devaluation RAISES the prices of imports.IT WAS NOT TERMS OF TRADE OYE DEVALUATION INCREASES THE PRICE OF IMPORTS ITS EVEN WRITTEN ON PG 90 OF OUR NOTES YAR -_-
The formula is Export Prices/Import Prices*100. An increase in import prices would reduce this number.
Eg. Exp prices= 10
Imp prices=10
Terms of Trade=100
*Devaluation
Then Imp Prices= 20
Terms of trade reduces to 50
Question had asked which of these reduces due to devaluation. Hence Terms of Trade seems to be correct.
