Question

Velocity and the quantity equation Consider a simple economy that produces only pies. The following table contains information on the economy's money supply, velocity of money, price level, and output. For example, in 2010, t he money supply was $320, the price of a pie was $8.00, and the economy produced 600 pies. Fill in the missing values in the following table, rounding to the nearest cent when necessary. The money supply grew rate of from 2010 to 2011. Since pie output did not change from 2010 to 2011 and the velocity of money the change in the money supply was reflected in changes in the price level. The inflation rate from 2010 to 2011 was

Explanation / Answer

M*V = P*Y

where M = money supply

V = velocity

P = price level

y = quantity produced

So, For Year 2010

MV = PY

320*V = 8*600

V = 4800/320 = 15

Nominal GDP =P*Q = 8*600 = 4800

For year 2011

MV = PY

336*15 =P*600

P = 5040/600 = 8.4

Nominal GDP = P*Q = 8.4*600 = 5040

Money supply growth rate = 336-320/320*100 = 5%

velocity of Money didn't change

reflected Completely or in same amount

Inflation rate = P2 - p1/p1*100 = 8.4-8/8*100 = 5%
