Question 1 The M2 money supply was about $7.5 trillion at the beginning of 2008 and about $8.3 trillion at the end of 2008. Real GDP declined slightly over that year, by about 0.1 percent, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. According to the quantity equation and assuming velocity is constant, what do these numbers imply that the inflation rate should have been in 2008? Answer to the nearest percent--your answer should be an integer. Your Answer: Answer

All other things being equal, by how much will nominal GDP expand if the central bank Increases the money supply by 100 billion, and the velocity of money is 3? (Use this information as necessary to answer the following 4 questions.)
In the country Constantania, suppose the velocity of money is always the same. Last year, the money supply was $2 billion and real GDP was $5 billion. This year, the money supply increased by 6 percent, real GDP by 4 percent, and nominal GDP is $6.5 billion. a) Calculate the velocity of money and the price levels in the two years, and then calculate the inflation rate. b) Calculate the inflation rate using the formula AM/M + AV/V = AP/P + AY/Y, where the Greek letter A represents a change and the ratio AM/Mx 100 is the percentage change (or the rate of change) in M. Compare this result with the result you obtained in part a. Why could there be some difference? c) What is the difference between commodity money and fiat money? Why do people accept fiat currency in trade for goods and services?

Again, consider an economy with real output of 400 and an average price level of $2. While velocity and the price level are constant, this economy's real output is increasing by 1.25 percent per year. Recall also that the average dollar in this economy is spent 10 times over a year, Calculate the percentage change in the money supply this economy is experiencing. Enter your answer "as a percent, but without the percentage sign." Show an increase in the money supply with a positive number (no sign) and a decrease with a negative number (with negative sign). For example, if the money supply is falling by 99 percent, enter only -99 in the blank.
If velocity and aggregate output remain constant at 5and $1,000 billion, respectively, what happens to theprice level if the money supply declines from $400 billion to $300 billion?
The following data come from FRED, a database maintained by the St Louis Fed. According to FRED, Real GDP in 2009 was 97.5% of Real GDP in 2010. If so, then the inflation rate from 2009 should be. less than predicted by the Quantity Theory of Money because the Velocity of Money was slightly faster in 2010 than in 2009.

Consider an economy in which the demand for money is of the formMt =(1/v) PtYfor t = 0, 1, 2, · · · , where output is 150, the money velocity is 1.5. The money supplyis 100 for t = 0, 1. In period 2, the central bank surprises people and announcethat money supply will grow at 2 percent forever, that is, M0 = 100, M1 = 100,M2 = (1.02)M1, M3 = (1.02)M2, and so on a.

If the demand for money depends positively on real income and depends inversely on the nominalinterest rate, what will happen to the price level today if the central bank credibly announces thatit will decrease the money growth rate in the future, but it does not change the money supplytoday?
