Solution

The question is asking for the long-run inflation rate after a price shock that increases inflation by 1 percent.

Here are the steps to find the answer:

  1. Identify the current state of the economy: The question states that the economy is at potential output prior to the price shock. This means that the real GDP is at 0.0 percent deviation from potential GDP. According to the table, when real GDP is at 0.0, the inflation rate is 4.0 percent.

  2. Calculate the new inflation rate: The question also states that due to a price shock, inflation increases by 1 percent. So, you add this 1 percent increase to the current inflation rate of 4.0 percent.

4.0% (current inflation) + 1.0% (increase) = 5.0%

So, in the long run, the inflation rate will be 5.0 percent.

Assume that the velocity does not change over time. If real GDP grows at 1% and money supply at 2%, what is the inflation rate? If your answer is 78.90%, write 78.90

Suppose that a country's money supply grows at 15 percent per year and the velocity of money circulation remains constant. The country's real GDP grows at 4% and the nominal interest rate is 10%. Due to some external shock, a leftward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) results in a 2 percent decline in the level of output. What were the growth rate of nominal GDP, the rate of inflation, and the real interest rate before the external shock? What is the new real GDP growth rate? What is likely to happen to nominal GDP and the inflation rate?A.19%, 10.58%, 0.58%; 2%; Nominal GDP decreases, inflation rate increases.B.19%, 10.58%, 0.58%; 2%; Nominal GDP increases, inflation rate increases.C.15%, 10.58%, -0.58%; 2%; Nominal GDP decreases, inflation rate increases.D.15%, 10.58%, -0.58%; 6%; Nominal GDP decreases, inflation rate decreases.SUBMIT ANSWER
