To determine

In case the question requires us to calculate the velocity of money.

Concept Introduction:

Liquidity preference theory: Late Lord J. M. Keynes propounded the Liquidity Preference Theory to explain the interest rate determination with the help of demand and supply of money.

Liquidity is a term used to describe how quickly an asset can be converted into cash. If you keep the money in some other form of asset, or in bank, you will actually have a separation with the liquid form. Liquidity is the easiness of holding cash form of money rather than any other form. Interest rate is considered as the compensation for separation with the liquidity form of money.

Velocity of money: Velocity of money is the average number of time the unit of money is used to purchase goods and services in the economy in a given period of time. Rate at which money changes hands per year to buy things is known as velocity of money. The velocity of money is the rate at which people use cash. It is the turnover in the money supply. If the velocity of money is increasing, then more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy.
