Question 1
a. Increasing prices erode the purchasing power of the dollar. It is interesting to compute what goods would have cost at some point in the past after adjusting for inflation. Go to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, FRED database website at https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/and find the consumer price index for all urban consumers. What would a car that cost $25,000 today have cost the year 1996?
b. Many countries have central banks that are responsible for their nation’s monetary policy. Go to www.bis.org/cbanks.htm and select one of the central banks (for example, ECB, Norway). Review that bank’s Web site to determine its policies regarding application of monetary policy. How does this bank’s policies compare to those of the U.S. central bank?
Question 13 (1 point)
Suppose the supply of money, measured by M1, is $3.0 trillion, output, measured by real GDP, is
$18.7 trillion, and the velocity of money is 7.1. Suppose the supply of money increases to $3.7
trillion but GDP and the velocity of money do not change. What is the percent by which prices
change? Provide your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places. Do not include
any symbols, such as "$," "," "%," or "," in your answer.

Answer
Hey, I need help with the following macro question. Thank you in advance!
Imagine that the chair of the Federal Reserve announced that, as of the following day, all currency in circulation in the United States would be worth 10 times its face denomination. For example, a $10 bill would be worth $100; a $100 bill would be worth $1,000; and so forth. Furthermore, the balances in all checking and savings accounts would be multiplied by 10. So, for example, if you had $500 in your checking account, as of the following day your balance would be $5,000. Would you actually be 10 times better off on the day the announcement took effect? Why or why not?

- : As a manager of a firm, you are concerned about a potential change in interest rates, which would affect money market prices.

(Question 6 on p.347) Explain the links between changes in the nation's money supply, the interest rate, investment spending, aggregate demand, and real GDP (and the price level). A change in the nation's money supply (achieved by changing reserves in the banking system) will cause an opposite change in the interest rate. A reduction in the money supply will make funds increasingly ( scarce, abundant ) and drive (up, down) their price (interest rate). The interest rate and investment spending are also ( directly, inversely) related. A rising interest rate will make some investments (capital spending projects) unprofitable, so spending on those will (increase, decline ). Investment spending is part of aggregate demand, so they will move together, as will real GDP. A decline in spending (AD) will (increase, reduce ) inflationary pressure (and will ( increase, reduce ) prices if they are downwardly flexible).arrow_forward11.

Use the green line (triangle symbols) on the previous graph to illustrate the effects of this change. Before the interest rate adjusts, there will be an initial surplus . This means that people who want to sell existing of money in the financial system, causing the demand for bonds to increase can raise the price of their bonds. Money Demand ?
