If the money supply is growing at a rate of 6 percent per year, real GDP is growing at a rate of 3 percent per year, and velocity is constant, what will the inflation rate be? If velocity is increasing 1 percent per year instead of remaining constant, what will the inflation rate be?

Suppose that initially the money supply is $1 trillion, the price level equals 3, the real GDP is $5 trillion in base-year dollars, and income velocity of money is 15. Then the money supply increases by $100 billion, while real GDP and income velocity of money remain unchanged. Required: According to the quantity theory of money and prices, calculate the new price level after the increase in money supply.

00:01 So here we're talking about the quantity equation, right? and remember that the quantity equation says mv is equal to p y, right? and this here is money used.
00:10 It's the amount of money in the economy times how often it's used.
00:14 And this is also money used, right? it's the amount of stuff bought times how much that cost.
00:20 So this has got to be sort of equal by definition, right? this is not a derived proposition or some sort of fancy theory.
00:30 It's just coming from some basic accounting, right? the amount of money that people use has to be equal to the amount of money that people can actually did use.
00:42 So here we are told a few things, right? so first of all, we're told that the velocity is constant.
00:47 We are also told that y is increasing by 3%, and we are told that the fed is going to increase the money supply by 5%.
00:58 Right? so let's think about what's happening here...
