Calculate the velocity V in each year. (Fill in the table above, rounding to one decimal place.)
Velocity is growing at an approximate rate of % per year. (Round to the nearest whole number.)
Suppose an economy has a price index at 19, real GDP of $11.83 trillion, and a money supply (M2) of $21.79 trillion. What is the M2 velocity of money for this economy? Round this to two digits after the decimal.
Consider a simple economy that produces only pens. The following table contains information on the economy's money supply, velocity of money, price
level, and output. For example, in 2014, the money supply was 100, the price of a pen was $4.00, and the economy produced 500 pens.

In year one, the money supply (M) is equal to 500, the velocity of money (V) is 5, and the price level is 1.0. According to the equation of exchange, in year 1, nominal and real GDP are both equal to In year 2, the money supply is increased to 530.4 and velocity is unchanged. If the economy grew at the rate of 4 percent, real GDP in year 2 is equal to while nominal GDP in year 2 is equal to As a result of the Fed's decision to increase the money supply from 500 to 530.4, the price level rose from 1.0 to indicating that the inflation rate was percent.arrow_forward
- You are the new Governor of State Bank of Pakistan after Reza Baqir. For each of the situations listed below, decide if you would use Easy-Monetary policy or Tight-Monetary policy. (150 words.) Scenarios: RGDP dropped from 3 percent to 1 percent in the last year. The CPI and GDP deflator have risen 3 percent in the last six months. Commercial interest rates are rising, but the SBP has not raised rates. RGDP is growing steadily, and prices are rising sharply. The Pakistan is experiencing both high inflation and high unemployment. We are in a recession. Factory orders are down, and the economy appears to be slumping. Unemployment is low and prices are rising steadily. Unemployment rates are pushing 11 percent while the CPI has fallen from 8 percent to 2 percent growth. We are in a recession but are experiencing high inflation. The money supply appears to be tight, and prices are on the rise.arrow_forwardIf velocity (V) and aggregate output (Y) remain constant at $4 and $1,250 billion, respectively, what happens to the price level (P) if the money supply (M) declines from $500 billion to $400 billion?

The following table contains information on the economy's money supply, velocity of money, price level, and output. For example, in 2018, the money supply was $360, the price of a pie was $9.00, and the economy produced 800 pies. NOTE: for YEAR 2019, Price Level (Dollars), the choices are (0.47 OR 9.00 OR 9.45 OR 0.50) nominal GDP options for YEAR 2018 are (85.00 OR 7,560.00 OR 7,200.00 OR 89.00) nominal GDP options for YEAR 2019 are (89.00 OR 85.00 OR 7,560.00 OR 7,200.00 ) NOTE: The money supply grew at a rate of _________ (2.44% OR 1.13% OR 5% OR 105%) from 2018 to 2019. Since pie output did not change from 2018 to 2019 and the velocity of money _______ (increased OR decreased OR remained the same), the change in the money supply was reflected ________ (partially OR entirely) in changes in the price level. The inflation rate from 2018 to 2019 was ________ (5% OR 2.44% OR 105% OR 1.13%)arrow_forward
