Suppose monetary neutrality holds and velocity is constant. A 5 percent increase in the money supply increases the price level b
Alex73 [517]

Answer:  Increases the price level by 5 percent

Explanation:

Monetary Neutrality is a theory in Economics that posits that when there is a change in money supply in an economy, the only variables affected are the nominal ones like price level and wages and Real variables like GDP and employment are not affected.

It holds that when there is an increase in money supply, there is an equivalent increase in Price level as well because the value of money has fallen by the rate of the monetary increase. The Price level rising at the same rate is to compensate.

A 5 percent increase in the money supply will therefore increase the price level by 5 percent.

poizon [28]

Answer:

What single investment made today, earning 12% annual interest, will be worth $6,000 at the end of 6 years? b. What is the prese
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The results a-c  are the same $3,039.79  

However, the rate of return is given different names in each of the scenario.

In the first scenario, it was named annual interest which implies rate of return on an investment.

Annual interest is the same as discount rate because discounting an amount means stating in today's terms,which also applies to the amount to be invested when the future cash flow repayable is known, the amount to be invested can be brought back to equivalent amount today by discounting.

Finally, opportunity cost means the interest rate forgone by choosing to invest in one security,which is also the desirable rate of return convincing enough for the investment to be made.

A rate of return can be tagged annual interest, opportunity cost or discount rate,they are synonymous.

Explanation:

a.

The $6000 is the future value, the unknown is present value.

PV=FV*(1+r)^-N

r is the rate of return of 12% while N is 6 years

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6

PV=$3,039.79

b.the requirement also is PV with FV of $6,000 with discount rate of 12%,that rate of return,with N being 6 years

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6  

PV=$ 3,039.79  

c,The most to be paid for $6,000 with an opportunity cost of $12% is given below;

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6

    =$3,039.79

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

John has 7 dimes and 13 nickels

Explanation:

let N = nickels

let D = dimes

5N + 10D = 135

N = D + 6

5(D + 6) +10D = 135

5D + 30 + 10D = 135

15D = 135 - 30 = 105

D = 105 / 15 = 7

N = D + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13
