Suppose that initially the money supply is $2 trillion, the price level equals 4, the real GDP is $6 trillion in base-year dollars, and the income velocity of money is 12. Then the money supply increases by $200 billion, while the real GDP and income velocity of money remain unchanged. a. According to the quantity theory of money and prices, calculate the new price level after the increase in money supply: ____?
According to the quantity equation, suppose that the velocity of money is constant and the economy's output of goods and services rises by 3 percent each year. If the Fed increases the money supply by x percent, the price level will drop by 2 percent and the nominal GDP will rise by 8 percent next year.
