Answer:
Maria spends all of her money on paperback novels and beignets In 2011 she Earned $27 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9, and the price of a beignet was $3.
Following give the nominal value of a variable: -
- The price of a beignet is $3 in 2011
- Maria's wage is $27 per hour in 2011
Following give the real value of a variable:
- The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011
- Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.
Suppose that the Fed sharply macaws the money supply between 2011 and 2016 In 2016, Maria's wage has risen to $54 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18 and the price of a beignet is $6
In 2016, the relative price of a paperback novel is 3 beignet
Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage increases and the real value of her wage remains the same.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply affecis nominal variables and does not affecis real variables
