Solution

a. The price level can be calculated using the formula for the GDP deflator, which is (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) * 100.

Nominal GDP = 10trillionRealGDP=10 trillion Real GDP = 5 trillion

So, the price level (GDP deflator) = (10/5) * 100 = 200

b. The velocity of money can be calculated using the formula MV = PY, where M is the money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level, and Y is the real GDP.

We can rearrange the formula to solve for V: V = PY/M

P (price level) = 200 (from the previous calculation) Y (real GDP) = 5trillionM(moneysupply)=5 trillion M (money supply) = 500 billion = $0.5 trillion

So, the velocity of money V = (200 * 5) / 0.5 = 2000
