If the nominal interest rate is constant, then PY is constant in the equation PY = MV, so V will remain constant so long as money supply does not change.

Opportunity cost of holding money?

The opportunity cost of holding money is the nominal interest rate.


4 The Internet accelerates the process of economic growth Discuss?

Using the formula MV=PQ, and understanding that PQ is just nominal GDP for a nation, explains this. The Internet accelerates the velocity of money, since money can be transferred more easily electronically. Therefore, assuming M is constant, an increase in V leads to an increase in nominal GDP.


In which situations is it certain that the quantity of money demand by the public will decrease?

nominal GDP decreases and the interest rate decreases


What is the difference between a loan constant and an interest rate?

A loan constant is the percentage of a loan that remains the same throughout the loan term, while an interest rate is the percentage charged by a lender for borrowing money. The loan constant includes both the interest rate and the principal repayment, while the interest rate only represents the cost of borrowing the money.


The annual nominal rate of interest on a bank certificate of deposit is 12 percent what would be the effect of an inflation rate of 13 percent?

The 12 percent nominal interest means that your money will increase in value by 12% in a year's time in NOMINAL terms.However, the inflation rate of 13 percent says that the cost of goods will increase faster than the value of your deposit.Hence the REAL effect is that the value of your money will fall by 1 percent.


Calculate the velocity of money when nominal gross domestic product GDP is 1 trillion and the money supply is 250 billion?

Gross Domestic Product divided by the value of the money supply 1,000,000,000,000 divided by 250,000,000,000 = 4.


What does a lower interest rate mean for savers?

It means that they are getting less money for deferring expenditure and saving instead. However, it is not the low nominal interest rates which matter but what the "real" interest rates are. This is the difference between the nominal interest rate and the rate of inflation. An interest rate of 2% when inflation is 0% is good news for savers but an inflation rate even as high as 10% is bad news if inflation is higher than 10%.


How can one calculate the real interest rate, taking into account inflation?

To calculate the real interest rate, subtract the inflation rate from the nominal interest rate. The real interest rate reflects the true purchasing power of the money invested or borrowed after adjusting for inflation.


How do calculate velocity of money?

The money velocity is the average number of times a unit of money is used in a specific period of time. For example, you could say the annual money velocity of a US dollar bill is 3 (any dollar bill, on average, was used three times this year). Money velocity can be calculated using a specific formula: V = ( P * Q ) / M ; V = Money velocity, P = aggregate Price level, Q = aggregate quantity of goods and services, and M = total amount of money (money supply). The formula can also be rewritten like so: M * V = P * Q; where P * Q equals the nominal GDP.


If the Federal Reserve increases the reserve requirement and velocity remains stable What will happen to nominal GDP and why?

A significant increase in reserve requirements will reduce the lending of member banks resulting in a relatively smaller supply of M2 money. Money can bought and sold repeatedly by each stock speculator throughout the day. Just look at the volume netted and cleared by stock speculators on a daily basis. Therefore velocity has no obvious unambiguous meaning outside of something like nominal GDP divided by money supply. Therefore by this definition a decrease in money supply must be countered with a decrease in GDP to keep velocity stable.


How circulation of money is develop?

Quantity Theory of Money (1885)Developed by the Americans SIMON NEWCOMB (1835-1909) and Irving Fisher (1867-1947), the latter of whom's original equation stated in simple terms that the amount of money in circulation equals money national income; that is,MV = PTwhere M is money stock, V is velocity of circulation, P is average price level and T the number of transactions. The equation assumes that the velocity of circulation of money is stable (at least in the short term) and that transactions are fixed by consumer tastes and the behavior of firms.Quantity theory of money was superseded by Keynesian analysis. Members of the Cambridge School were concerned with the volume of money held given the number of transactions carried out. They argued that the greater the number of transactions, the greater the amount of money held. English economist Arthur Cecil Pigou (1877-1959), in particular, asserted that the nominal demand for money was a constant percentage of nominal income.In the Cambridge Equation, PT is replaced by Y (the income velocity of circulation). The equation is:V = Y / Mwhere M is money stock in economy, Y income velocity of circulation and V average velocity of circulation.Monetarists argue that an increase in prices would not lead to inflation unless the government increased the money supply.


Why the real interest rate can be negative?

The real interest rate can be negative when the nominal interest rate is lower than the inflation rate. This scenario means that the purchasing power of money decreases over time, as inflation erodes the value of returns on investments or savings. For example, if a savings account offers a 2% nominal interest rate while inflation is at 3%, the real interest rate is -1%. Negative real interest rates can incentivize spending and investment rather than saving, as holding cash results in a loss of value.
