Exercise:
Suppose V is constant, M is growing 5% per year,
Y is growing 2% per year, and r = 4.
a. Solve for i (the nominal interest rate).
b. If the Fed increases the money growth rate by
2 percentage points per year, find i .
c. Suppose the growth rate of Y falls to 1% per
year.
What will happen to ?
What must the Fed do if it wishes to
keep constant?

Quantity Theory of Money.
