Step 1
For 2023, we have $M = 1200$, $V = 6$, and $Q = 10800$. Therefore, $P_{2023} = \frac{MV}{Q} = \frac{1200 \times 6}{10800} = \frac{7200}{10800} = 0.666...$ Rounding to two decimal places, we get $P_{2023} = 0.67$. Show more…

Velocity and the Quantity Equation Consider a simple economy that produces only air fryers. The following table contains information on the economy's money supply, velocity of money, price level, and output. For example, in 2021, the money supply was $240, the price of an air fryer was $10.00, and the economy produced 600 air fryers. Fill in the missing values in the following table, selecting the answers closest to the values you calculate: | Year | Quantity of Money (Dollars) | Velocity of Money | Price Level (Dollars) | Quantity of Output (Air fryers) | Nominal GDP (Dollars) | |------|----------------------------|-------------------|----------------------|--------------------------------|----------------------| | 2021 | 240 | | 10.00 | 600 | 6,000.00 | | 2022 | 252 | 25 | | 600 | | The money supply grew at a rate of _____ from 2021 to 2022. Since air fryer output did not change from 2021 to 2022 and the velocity of money _____, the change in the money supply was reflected _____ in changes in the price level. The inflation rate from 2021 to 2022 was _____.

Suppose that this year's money supply is $400 billion, nominal GDP is $12 trillion, and real GDP is $4 trillion. The price level is ____, and the velocity of money is _____. Suppose that velocity is constant and the economy's output of goods and services rises by 5 percent each year. Use this information to answer the questions that follow. If the Fed keeps the money supply constant, the price level will _____, and nominal GDP will _____. True or False: If the Fed wants to keep the price level stable instead, it should increase the money supply by 5% next year. If the Fed wants an inflation rate of 11 percent instead, it should _____ the money supply by _____%. (Hint: The quantity equation can be rewritten as the following percentage change formula: (Percentage Change in M)+(Percentage Change in V)=(Percentage Change in P)+(Percentage Change in Y))
