If the price level were to rise from 160 to 200, in what direction and by how much would the value of a dollar change?
Identify any two factors that will cause a shift to the supply of dollars curve.
Suppose gold (G) and silver (S) are substitutes for each other because both serve as hedges against inflation. Suppose also that the supplies of both are fixed in the short run
(Q = 90 and Q = 300) and that the demands for gold and silver are given by the following equations:
PG = 990 - Qg +0.50PS
and
Ps = 630 -Qs +0.50PG
What the the equilibrium prices of gold and silver?
The equilibrium price of gold is $ 1420 and the equlibrium price of siliver is $ 1040. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.)
What if a new discovery of gold doubles the quantity supplied to 180? How will this discovery affect the prices of both gold and silver?
The equilibrium price of gold will be $ and the equlibrium price of siliver will be $
