Q: If the nominal GDP is $$ \10$${,}000 $$ and the money supply is $$ \$$2{,}000 $$, what is the velocity of money according to the quantity theory of money?

$$ V = \frac{\text{Nominal GDP}}{\text{Money Supply}} = \frac{10{,}000}{2{,}000} = 5 $$

Question 1

Suppose the government increases spending, leading to a rightward shift in the aggregate demand (AD) curve. In the short run, what is the most likely effect on output and the price level according to the AD/AS model?

Accepted Answer

Output increases and the price level rises.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes the wealth effect as it relates to aggregate demand?

Accepted Answer

An increase in the price level reduces the real value of wealth, decreasing aggregate demand.

Question 3

If the Federal Reserve lowers the required reserve ratio, what is the expected impact on the money supply?

Accepted Answer

The money supply will increase because banks can lend out more money.

Question 4

Question 6

If the nominal GDP is $$ \10$${,}000 $$ and the money supply is $$ \$$2{,}000 $$, what is the velocity of money according to the quantity theory of money?

Accepted Answer

$$ V = \frac{	ext{Nominal GDP}}{	ext{Money Supply}} = \frac{10{,}000}{2{,}000} = 5 $$

Question 7

Which of the following is true about commodity-backed money?

Accepted Answer

It is backed by a commodity such as gold or silver.

Question 13

If the simple money multiplier is $$ m = \frac{1}{rr} $$ and the required reserve ratio $$ rr  is 0.2$$, what is the value of the money multiplier?

Accepted Answer

$$ m = 5 $$

Question 14

Which of the following would cause a leftward shift in the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve?

Accepted Answer

An increase in wages

Question 15

The Federal Reserve introduces a new tool that pays interest on excess reserves (IOER). What is the likely effect of increasing the IOER rate?

Accepted Answer

Question 19

If the growth rate of the money supply is 4% and the growth rate of real GDP is 2%, what is the expected inflation rate according to the quantity theory of money ($$ \%\Delta M + \%\Delta V = \%\Delta P + \%\Delta Y $$), assuming velocity is constant?

Accepted Answer

$$ 2\%  ($$since $$ 4\% = \%\Delta P + 2\%  so$$ $$ \%\Delta P = 2\% )$$
