The following graph represents the money market in a hypothetical economy. As in the United States, this economy has a central bank called the Fed,
but unlike in the United States, the economy is closed (that is, the economy does not interact with other economies in the world). The money market
is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 6% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, as indicated by the grey star.

how does a decrease in economic activity affect the money supply curve?
Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied.
Suppose the price level increases from 150 to 175.
