1. The level of prices and the value of money Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one donut, and one newspaper. In year one, the basket costs $10.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $9.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of In year one, $50.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $50.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level falls, the value of money

5. Using money creation to pay for government spending Consider Snackistan, a hypothetical country that produces only burgers. In 2017, a burger is priced at $2.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of burgers that can be bought with $700. Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a burger, and always round down to the nearest whole burger. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 burgers, the answer should be 1 burger. Year Price of a Burger Burgers Bought with $700 (Dollars) (Quantity) 2017 2.00 ????? 2018 ????? ????? Suppose the government of Snackistan cannot raise sufficient tax revenue to pay its debts. In order to meet its debt obligations, the government prints money. As a result, the money supply rises by 40% by 2018. Assuming monetary neutrality holds, complete the second row of the table with the new price of a burger and the new quantity of burgers that can be bought with $700 in…
