With respect to the concept of inflation, it is correct to say that ________. options: A) inflation increases the purchasing power of consumer dollars. B) inflation and deflation are really almost synonymous in practice. C) the consumer price index is one way to measure inflation. D) inflation occurs when the amount of money taken out of the economy exceeds the amount of money put into the economy. E) inflation occurs when people have more money to spend as the quantity of goods available increases.
Harare Zimbabwe's central bank today raised its key intrest rate from 50 percent to 70 percent. The governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe said the higher rate was inteded to slow consumer spedning, increase foreign buying of Zimbabwe dollars, and slow the rate of inflation, currently running at approximately 200 percent a year. According to the World View after the key intrest rate was raised what was, a) the nominal intrest rate? b) the real intrest rate?"
There are two countries in the world, A and B. Suppose the central bank in country A has an annual inflation target pai = 0.02 while the central bank in country B has anannual inflation target pai = 0.03. In the long run, we would expect the nominalexchange rate of country A to appreciate against country B at a rate of about 1% per year.True or False? Explain.
In each of the following scenarios, explain and categorize the cost of inflation. A) Because of inflation has risen, the L.L Bean Company decides to issue a new catalog quarterly rather than annually. B)Grandma buys annuity for $100,000 from an insurance company, which promises to pay her $10,000 a year for the rest of her life. After buying it, she is surprised that high inflation triples the price level over the next few years. C)Maria lives in an economy with hyperinflation. Each day after being paid, she runs to the store as quickly as possible so she can spend her money before it loses its value. D) Warren lives in an economy with an inflation rate of 10%. Over the past few years, he earned a return of $50,000 oh his million dollar portfolio of stocks and bonds. Because his tax rate is 20%, he paid $10,000 to the government. E) Your father tells you that when he was your age, he worked for only $3 an hour. He suggest that you are lucky to have a job that pays $7 an hour. Is it…
b. Suppose a country has a money demand function (M/P)d= kỲ, where k is a constant parameter. The money supply grows by 12 percent per year, and real income grows by 4 percent per year. What is the average inflation rate?
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!
Suppose the inflation rate is zero, the income elasticity of money demand is 0.75, and the interest elasticity of money demand is -0.25. Determine the inflation rate that results from each of the following events (starting back at zero for each one). Enter all answers as integers with no decimal places. If negative, be sure to include the minus sign before the number (no spaces). iii. The nominal interest rate rises from 5% to 6%.The inflation rate is now %?
Suppose that an economy has a constant nominal money supply, a constant level of real output Y = 1500, and a constant real interest rate r = 0.05, and it’s expected rate of inflation is 2%, i.e, πe = .02. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is ηY = 0.5 and the interest elasticity of demand ηi = –0.2. (a) Suppose that Y decreases to 1425, r remains constant at 0.05 and there is no change in the expected rate of inflation. What is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (b) Suppose that r increases to 0.06 and Y remains at 1500. Assuming that expected inflation remains at πe = .02, what is the percentage change in the equilibrium price level? (c) Suppose that r increases to 0.06. Assuming that πe = .02, what would real output have to be for the equilibrium price level to remain at its initial value?
Distinguish between the general inflation rate and the average inflation rate for specific goods?
consider the money demand function. If the money supply is expected to be decreased in the next month what is the effect on the inflation this month? Describe briefly.
