In the long run, according to the quantity theory of money, if the money supply doubles, what happens to the price level? What happens to real GDP? In both cases, state the percentage change in either the price level or real GDP.
Real GDP and the velocity of circulation are constant. What is the change in the price level in the long run if the quantity of money increases by 3 percent a year? The change in the price level is ______ percent a year in the long run. >>> If the price level decreases, the answer is negative and must include a minus sign. If the price level increases, the answer is positive and must not include a plus sign.
Assume the money supply is $300, the velocity of money is 5, and the price level is 1. Using the quantity theory of money: a. Determine the level of real output. b. Determine the level of nominal output. c. Assuming velocity remains constant, what will happen if the money supply rises 20 percent? Real output would be $C, and real output would be $|
What is the effect of a rise in the U.S. price level on the buying power of money? The buying power of money _______. A. increases and aggregate demand increases B. increases and the quantity of real GDP demanded increases C. decreases and the quantity of real GDP demanded decreases D. decreases and aggregate demand decreases
Explain the quantity theory of money and explain how the money demand, money supply, and quantity of money are related to each other? Which variable (s) will be affected if the money supply increases in the economy? Take in context to what has been happening in the U.S economy in the past few years.
Within the classical form of the quantity theory, the demand for money is given by Md = kPY. Suppose income (Y) is given at 400 units, and the money supply (M) is fixed at 200 units. Suppose k drops from its initial value of 0.5 to 0.25. What is the initial price level? What is the new price level after the change in k? Explain the process that leads to the change in the aggregate price level.
Assume the money supply is $1,000, the velocity of money is 12, and the price level is $4. Using the quantity theory of money: (a) Determine the level of real output. (b) Determine the level of nominal output. (c) Assuming velocity remains constant and that the economy is at full-employment equilibrium, what will happen if the money supply rises by 10%?
The demand for real money balances is given by , where M is the quantity of money, P is the price level, Y is output, and i is the nominal interest rate which is measured in percent. At the beginning of the year, the nominal interest rate is 5%. Over the year, the monetary base increases by 4%, the money multiplier increases by 2%, the output increases by 1% percent, and the nominal interest rate decreases by 10 BASIS POINTS. (a) If the ex ante real interest rate equals 0.5%, find the expected inflation rate at the beginning of the year. (b) Calculate the percentage change in the velocity of money. (c) [In answering this question, you are allowed to use the approximations regarding percentage changes; see page 4 of the math review (slide set 3).] Calculate the actual inflation rate. (d) Is it true that purchasing power was transferred from lenders to borrowers?
The economy of Macro Island is described by the quantity equation with constant velocity. All residents of Macro Island understand the quantity theory and use it to form their expectations of inflation. Real income grows at a steady 2 percent per year, and the nominal interest rate is 5 percent. In one year, people had expected the money supply to grow by 4 percent, but in fact it grew by only 3 percent. a. What was the inflation rate? (3% 4% 1% 2%) b. What was the expected inflation rate? (1% 4% 3% 2%) c. What was the ex ante real interest rate? (4% 2% 1% 3%) d. What was the ex post real interest rate? (2% 1% 4% 3%) e. Did the deviation of inflation from what was expected hurt creditors or debtors? ( Creditors Debtors)
According to the transmission mechanism of money,a. For constant output, if the real money supply exceeds the real quantity of money demanded, what will happen to the real interest rate that clears the asset market? (In describing the adjustment of the real interest rate, use the relationship that exists between the price of a non-monetary asset and the interest rate that it pays). Is money effective? (Does the change in nominal money supply cause real output to change?). Explain with details.
In the long run, the effect of an increase in money supply can be summarized as follows: Select one: a. Price level and nominal wage will increase in the same proportion as the increase in money supply. Consequently, the real wage falls, and level of employment increases. The LRAS shifts to the right. b. Price level and nominal wage will increase in the same proportion as the increase in money supply. Consequently, the real wage, and level of employment stays the same. The LRAS shifts right and back to the left again. c. Price level and nominal wage will increase in the same proportion as the increase in money supply. Consequently, the real wage rises, and level of employment decreases. The LRAS shifts to the left d. Price level and nominal wage will increase in the same proportion as the increase in money supply. Consequently, the real wage, and level of employment stays the same. The LRAS does not shift at all.
For the next two questions, consider an economy that has the following information: Its money supply is $2000, growing at a rate of 3 percent annually. The average dollar in this economy is spent 5 times per year. The price level is $2.5; inflation is 2 percent per year. We assume that velocity (income velocity of money) is constant. Calculate this economy's real output. Enter only numbers and a decimal point in your answer as needed. Round your answer to two decimal places as necessary.
