Question

1)The money supply has been growing at 10% per year and nominal GDP (PY) has been growing at 20% per year. Calculate velocity in each year given the following data in billions of dollars, and then calculate the growth in velocity.

                  2010      2011      2012

M              100         110         121

PY             1,000     1,200     1,440

V               ?                ?                ?

V Grth    ?                ?                ?

2)What happens to nominal GDP (PY) if velocity is constant at 5% and the money supply increases from $200 billion to $300 billion?

3)Suppose the liquididty preference function is given by

Calculate velocity for each period, using the money demand function, and the following values.

1   2 3 4 5   6

Y 12,000 12,500 12,250 12,500 12,800 13,000

Int (i)  .05 .07 .03 .05 .07 .04

Explanation / Answer

1)

Use the quantity theory of money identity: M*V = P*Y
