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 .

the effect on the nominal GDP when the money supply decreases by 8% and velocity remains unchanged.

Problem 3 You are given the following demand for European luxury automobiles: Q=1,000 P-0.5.2/1.6 where P-Price of European luxury cars PA = Price of American luxury cars P, Price of Japanese luxury cars I= Annual income of car buyers Assume that each of the coefficients is statistically significant (i.e., that they passed the t-test). On the basis of the information given, answer the following questions 1. Comment on the degree of substitutability between European and American luxury cars and between European and Japanese luxury cars. Explain some possible reasons for the results in the equation. 2. Comment on the coefficient for the income variable. Is this result what you would expect? Explain. 3. Comment on the coefficient of the European car price variable. Is that what you would expect? Explain.
Problem 2: A manufacturer of computer workstations gathered average monthly sales figures from its 56 branch offices and dealerships across the country and estimated the following demand for its product: Q=+15,000-2.80P+150A+0.3P+0.35Pm+0.2Pc (5,234) (1.29) (175) (0.12) (0.17) (0.13) R²=0.68 SER 786 F=21.25 The variables and their assumed values are P = Price of basic model = 7,000 Q==Quantity A = Advertising expenditures (in thousands) = 52 P = Average price of a personal computer = 4,000 P. Average price of a minicomputer = 15,000 Pe Average price of a leading competitor's workstation = 8,000 1. Compute the elasticities for each variable. On this basis, discuss the relative impact that each variable has on the demand. What implications do these results have for the firm's marketing and pricing policies? 2. Conduct a t-test for the statistical significance of each variable. In each case, state whether a one-tail or two-tail test is required. What difference, if any, does it make to…
