Assume that the money demand function is (M/P)^d= 2200 – 20000OI, where i is the interest rate. The real money supply is 1000. The equilibrium interest rate is: a. 2% b. 4% C. 6% d. 8% e. none of the aboves
Assume there is only one good in the economy, corn. The economy has enough labor, capital, and land to produce 2000 bushels of corn. V is constant. In 2020, money supply was $3,600 and the price of corn was $9/bushel. For 2021, the Fed increases MS by 10%. a) Compute the 2021 values of nominal GDP and P. Compute the inflation rate for 2020–2021. b) Suppose technological progress causes Y to increase to 2250 in 2020. Compute the 2020-2021 inflation rate. Please answer the entire question
4) In a money market equilibrium diagram, show the effect of an increase in real money demand, i.e., an increase in L function for any value of i, on the nominal interest rate.
In the money market when the money supply is increased, the interest rate falls by ________ when the interaction of the money market with the goods market is taken into account. a)a smaller extent b)All of the other three choices are possible. c)the same extent d)a greater extent
Assume that an economy is in long-run equilibrium. Assume consumers wish to hold less money because they use credit cards more frequently to purchase goods and services then cash. (a) Draw a correctly labeled graph of the money market and show the effect of the reduced holdings of money on the equilibrium nominal interest rate in the short-run. (b) Based on the change in the interest rate in part (a), what will happen to each of the following in the short-run? i. Prices of previously issued bonds ii. The price level and real income. Explain. (c) With a constant money supply, based on your answer in b(ii), will the velocity of money increase, decrease, or remain the same, or is the change indeterminate? (d) If the Central Bank wishes to reverse the change in the interest rate identified in part (a), what open market operation would it use?
If money supply rises, will the price level rise by the same percentage? It all depends on what happens to V and Y. The effects will tend to differ in the short run from the long run. Delete the wrong words in the following statements: (a) In the short run, V can change substantially / is unlikely to change much at all when money supply changes. (b) In the short run, a rise in MV (i.e. a rise in aggregate demand) will lead to a rise in the price level / may or may not lead to a rise in the price level depending on the degree of slack in the economy.
Suppose that an economy has a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y = 1500, and a constant real interest rate r = 0.05, and it’s expected rate of inflation is 2%, i.e, πe = .02. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is ηY = 0.5 and the interest elasticity of demand ηi = –0.2. (a) Suppose that Y decreases to 1425, r remains constant at 0.05 and there is no change in the expected rate of inflation. What is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (b) Suppose that r increases to 0.06 and Y remains at 1500. Assuming that expected inflation remains at πe = .02, what is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (c) Suppose that r increases to 0.06. Assuming that πe = .02, what would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value?
Suppose the money demand function is = 1000 + 0.2Y - 1000 (r + πe). Required (a.) Calculate velocity if Y = 2000, r = 0.06, and πe = 0.04. (b.) If the money supply (Ms) is 2600, what is the price level? (c.) Now suppose the real interest rate rises to 0.11, but Y and Ms are unchanged. What happens to velocity and the price level? (d.) For part (c.), if the nominal interest rate were to rise from 0.10 to 0.15 over the course of a year, with Y remaining at 2000, what would the inflation rate be?
The supply of credit cards is given by q = 1400X, where X are real credit card balances, q isthe real price of the credit card balance. You also know that R = 0.05 (nominal interest rate)and P = 100. Answer the following questions about this:(a) If the money supply is M s= $5, 000, if P = 100 is the equilibrium price level, find Y (realoutput).(b) Suppose that the Federal Reserve Bank decides to increase the money supply by 10%.How much is the inflation rate as a result? Explain and justify your answer. (c) Further suppose that at the same time, real output, Y , increases by 10%. Now what isthe inflation rate? Does our quantity theory of money hold here? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
If the money supply (M) is $300, the real GDP (Q) is 200, the velocity of money (V) is 6, the interest rates is 5% and the inflation rate is 3%, then calculate nominal GDP.
6) State how each of the following would affect the quantity of money demanded. Does the change cause a movement along the money demand curve or a shift of the money demand curve (state the direction of the shift or movement)? a) Interest rates rises from 5% to 8%. b) The consumer price index (CPI) rises in the economy.
(Let M(s): 'money supply' and price level: 'P'.) According to the Classical Quantity Theory of Money (with fixed velocity (V fixed), and fixed output level, (Q fixed in equilibrium from the supply side), in the short run), Group of answer choices A) an x% increase in M(s) will cause a smaller-than-x% increase in P. B) an x% increase in the money supply, M(s), will cause a greater-than-x% increase in the aggregate price level, P. C) none of the other options. D) an x% increase in the money supply, M(s), will not change P. E) an x% increase in M(s) will cause an x% increase in P.
