1.
Assuming: average price level in economy is 1,5, real
GDP 240 mld. EUR, money supply 60 mld. EUR.
What’s the velocity of money like?
2.
Assuming, the V is constant. What will happen in
economy described in task nr.1 if the money supply
increases by 20 mld. EUR?
3.
Calculate the velocity of money, if the monetary base
consists of paper currency 110,2 mld., demand
deposits 321 mld., time deposits 504,8 mld and the
value of final production is 1205,5 mld.
