Sub-part

A

To determine

the effect on the nominal GDP when the money supply increases by 5% and velocity remains unchanged.

Concept Introduction: As per the equation of exchange, M×V=P×Y, where M is the quantity of money, V is its velocity, Y is nominal GDP, and P is the price level. This equation explains that total spending is equal to total receipts. Thus, an increase in the quantity of money in the economy will lead to an increase in the price level, assuming the velocity and output level remains constant. Also, if there is an increase in the output level, it can lead to increase in demand for M, however, if the M remains constant, it will affect the velocity of money. The equation also states that the quantity of money spent equals the quantity of money used. The quantity theory of money explains the link in the variables. V=P×YM .

A linear programming computer package is needed. As part of the settlement for a class action lawsuit, Hoxworth Corporation must provide sufficient cash to make the following annual payments (in thousands of dollars). 6 Year 1 23. 4 Payment 160 185 210 255 285 430 The annual payments must be made at the beginning of each year. The judge will approve an amount that, along with earnings on its investment, will cover the annual payments. Investment of the funds will be limited to savings (at 4% annually) and government securities, at prices and rates currently quoted in The Wall Street Journal. Hoxworth wants to develop a plan for making the annual payments by investing in the following securities (par value = $1,000). Funds not invested in these securities will be placed in savings. Security Current Price 1 $1,055 Rate (%) Years to Maturity 6.750 3 2 $1,000 5.125 Assume that interest is paid annually. The plan will be submitted to the judge and, if approved, Hoxworth will be required to…

agree or disagree with the post  Hi Class! Egyptian dates are much sweeter! Due largely to their climate and geography, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Iran produce more dates than either the US or Canada. Dates grow best in hot dry climates with long dry growing seasons, which these nations naturally offer. They also produce a lot of dates because of their extensive agricultural, infrastructure, and centuries-old date-growing expertise. Conversely, the U.S., there aren't many places in Canada and California that are suitable for date farming, only a select few, like the Coachella Valley, in California can produce dates on a large scale. Although California produces some dates, it is not as much as countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Depending only on U.S., because of increased labor and production costs, dates grown in this way may have a limited supply and raise prices. We can obtain a greater supply of dates at competitive prices while maintaining consistent quality by…
