If the money supply is growing at a rate of 10 percent per year, real GDP (real output) is growing at a rate of 0 percent per year, and velocity is constant, what will the inflation rate be? %. (Enter your response as an integer value.) If the money supply is growing at a rate of 10 percent per year, real GDP (real output) is growing at a rate of 0 percent per year, and velocity is growing at 2 percent per year instead of remaining constant, what will the inflation rate be? %. (Enter your response as an integer value.)
Suppose that velocity of money is constant, the expected inflation rate is always equal to the actual inflation rate, and the expected real interest rate is 3%. Answer the following questions. Justify your answers. -When the growth rate of the money supply is 8% and the growth rate of real GDP is 2%, what is the nominal interest rate?
Assume that the money demand function is (M / P)d = 2,200 – 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. If the price level is fixed at P=2, and the Fed wants to fix the interest rate at 7 percent, it should set the money supply at: a. 2,000. b. 1,800. c. 1,600. d. 1,400.
6. Changes in the money supply The following graph represents the money market for some hypothetical economy. This economy is similar to the United States in the sense that it has a central bank called the Fed, but a major difference is that this economy is closed (and therefore does not have any interaction with other world economies). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 3.5% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, designated on the graph by the grey star symbol.

2. The theory of liquidity preference and the downward-slopingaggregate demand curve The following graph shows the money market in a hypothetical economy. The central bank in this economy is called the Fed. Assume that the Fed fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level decreases from 90 to 75. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of a decrease in the overall price level on the market for money. 12 Money Supply 10 Money Demand Money Supply MD1 2 MD2 10 20 30 40 50 60 MONEY (Billions of dollars) INTEREST RATE (Percent)

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.) Suppose now that economists expect the velocity of money to increase by 50% as a result of the monetary stimulus. What will be the total increase in nominal GDP? If GDP is 1,500 and the money supply is 400, what is velocity? If GDP now rises to 1,600, but the money supply does not change, how has velocity changed?
Suppose an economy has a price index at 19, real GDP of $11.83 trillion, and a money supply (M2) of $21.79 trillion. What is the M2 velocity of money for this economy? Round this to two digits after the decimal.
Ab 23 Economics
Consider again the economy with a total money supply of $2 million and nominal GDP of $6 million. In this economy, the money supply is growing at a rate of 3 percent per year, prices are falling at a rate of 1 percent, and velocity is constant. This economy's real output is growing at a rate of _________ percent. (Enter your answer "as a percent, but without a percentage sign." In other words, if you think output is growing at a rate of 99.99%, enter only 99.99 in the blank. Use a positive sign to indicate an increase and a negative sign to indicate a decrease.)
1. Nominal GDP =P*Y, where P is the price level and Y is aggregate output (income) . We know from class slides that the velocity of money links money supply and nominal GDP. Given nominal GDP in a year is $10 trillion and the quantity of money (M1) is $2 trillion, what is the velocity? What is the meaning of this calculated velocity? 2. Suppose that real money demand is represented by the equation M“/P= 0.25×Y. Calculate the velocity of money. 3. Consider a five year $1000 semiannual coupon bond with a 5% coupon rate. If the bond is current trading for a price of $957.35, what is the bond's yield to maturity? If the bond's yield to maturity increase a little bit, what will the bond's price be? 4. Suppose a 7-year, $1,000 bond with an 8% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.75%. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7%, what price will the bond trade for? 5.…
