Solution

The growth rate of nominal GDP can be calculated using the Quantity Theory of Money, which states that the money supply times the velocity of money equals the price level times real GDP. If the velocity of money is stable, then the growth rate of the money supply plus the growth rate of real GDP equals the growth rate of nominal GDP.

In this case, the growth rate of the money supply is 6 percent and the growth rate of real GDP is 4 percent. Therefore, the growth rate of nominal GDP is 6 percent + 4 percent = 10 percent.

So, the answer is A. 10%.
