3. The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction. Frances spends all of her money on magazines and mandarins. In 2015, she earned $15.00 per hour, the price of a magazine was $5.00, and the price of a mandarin was $3.00. Which of the following gives the nominal value of a variable? Check all that apply. Frances's wage is 3 magazines per hour in 2015. The price of a mandarin is 0.6 magazines in 2015. Frances's wage is $15.00 per hour in 2015. Which of the following give the real value of a variable? Check all that apply. Frances's wage is $15.00 per hour in 2015. The price of a magazine is $5.00 in 2015. Frances's wage is 5 mandarins per hour in 2015. Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2015 and 2020. In 2020, Frances's wage has risen to $30.00 per hour. The price…
3. Please Solve the subpart a and b max in 30 minutes thank u a) Describe the picture below! What does this picture have to do with the Quantity Theory of Money? b) To discuss inflation, there are several terms that cannot be separated, namely (1) real interest rate; (2) Fisher's Formula and (3) Social Costs. Explain the three terms so that it is easy to understand how they relate to inflation!
It is not possible for the total value of production to increase unless the money supply also increases. After all, how can the value of the goods and services being bought and sold increase unless there is more money available.explain the assertion using the equation M = money supply, V = velocity of money, P = price level, Y = real GDP.
An economy is at full employment. The quantity of money is growing at 8.3 percent a year, the nominal interest rate is 9.5 percent a year, real GDP is growing at 5.0 percent a year, and the inflation rate is 3.1 percent a year. What is the change in the velocity of circulation? Why might it be changing? The velocity of circulation is _______. A. increasing by 3.1 percent a year B. decreasing by 0.2 percent a year C. increasing by 0.2 percent a year D. constant
In an economy, the money supply growth rate is 5.0%, the equilibrium real interest rate is 1.5%, the potential growth rate is 4.0%, the economic growth rate is 1.0%, the inflation rate is 3.0%, the unemployment rate is 4.5%, and the rate of increase in the circulation speed is -2%. In this case, in an economy that pursues an inflation target of 2.0%, what is the appropriate interest rate target based on Taylor's rule? (Omit the unit and answer with the first decimal place.)
2. Answer the following questions. 2.1 One good: barley. The economy has enough labor, capital, and land to produce Y = 800 bushels of barley. V is constant. In 2020, money supply (MS) = $2,000 P = $10/bushel. For 2021, the central bank increases MS by 10%. According to the quantity equation, compute the 2021 values of nominal GDP and P. Compute the inflation rate for 2020–2021. 2.2 If you deposit money in the bank for one year. Scenario 1: nominal interest rate = 10%, inflation rate = 0% Scenario 2: nominal interest rate = 25%, inflation rate = 15% In which scenario does the real value of your deposit grow the most? Explain. 2.3 Inflation distorts relative prices. What does this mean and why does it impose a cost on society?
Suppose the interest rate that banks in Techland charge one another for overnight loans is 5 percent, the long-term nominal interest rate is 4.5 percent, and the long-term expected inflation rate is 3 percent. What is the long-term expected real interest rate? How will the long-term expected real interest rate be affected if the central bank of Techland starts purchasing government bonds from banks?
