A UK manufacturer imports raw materials from the Eurozone. If the exchange rate changes from \( £1 = €1.10 \) to \( £1 = €1.25 \), state what happens to the Pound Sterling (appreciation or depreciation) and state the immediate effect on the manufacturer's unit cost of imported materials in Pounds.

b) Calculate the price of one machine to a German buyer (in Euros, \(€\)) after the exchange rate change. (1 point)
c) State whether this exchange rate movement makes the UK exporter's goods more competitive or less competitive in the European market. (1 point)
