The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this
distinction. Eleanor spends all of her money on paperback novels and mandarins. In 2012, she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a mandarin was $3.00. Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable? Check all that apply. The price of a mandarin is 0.33 paperback novels in 2012. Eleanor's wage is 3 paperback novels per hour in 2012. The price of a mandarin is $3.00 in 2012. Which of the following give the real value of a variable? Check all that apply. The price of a paperback novel is $9.00 in 2012. Eleanor's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2012. The price of a paperback novel is 3 mandarins in 2012. Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2012 and 2017. In 2017, Eleanor's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18.00 and the price of a mandarin is $6.00. In 2017, the relative price of a paperback novel is . Between 2012 and 2017, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage , and the real value of her wage . Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply nominal variables and real variables.
In 2012, she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a mandarin was $3.00. Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable? Check all that apply.
<u>The price of a mandarin is $3.00 in 2012.</u>
Nominal values are expressed in terms of current money. real variables are represented in terms of other goods or services.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable? Check all that apply.
<u>The price of a paperback novel is 3 mandarins in 2012.</u>
Nominal values are expressed in terms of current money. real variables are represented in terms of other goods or services.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2012 and 2017. In 2017, Eleanor's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18.00 and the price of a mandarin is $6.00. In 2017, the relative price of a paperback novel is <u>still 3 mandarins</u>.
Between 2012 and 2017, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage <u>doubled</u>, and the real value of her wage <u>remained constant</u>.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply <u>affects</u> nominal variables and <u>does not affect</u> real variables.
When the market is more optimistic about a firm, its share price will RISE OR INCREASE as a result, it will need to issue FEWER shares to raise funds that are needed.
Share price can increase as a result of positive economic environment. For example, the company is making consistent profit, prevailing economic or environmental conditions are favouring the company.
When this happens, company will issue lower shares to raise fund because many investors will be looking to buy their shares.
Prestige pricing is a unique pricing method involving products which would actually generate less overall profit at lower prices than higher prices. As long as the product is views by the public as being "prestigious," it will be in greater demand at the higher price. If the price were lowered, the public opinion of the product would be lower and the product would be seen as less desirable. This results in the product selling less at the lower price than at the higher price.
