Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

According to the monetarists, the general equation of exchange is MV=PQ, in which M is the money supply, V is the velocity of circulating money, P is the price level, and Q is the real GDP. The price can be calculated as P=MVQ. This means, the changes in M, V or Q will affect the price. When money supply (M) or velocity of money (V) decreases, or increases, the quantity (Q) will reduce the price and vice versa.
