Your dormitory, Griffingate, has appointed you central banker of its economy, which deals in the currency of wizcoins. Assume that the velocity of wizcoins in Griffingate is constant at 10,000 transactions per year. Right now, real GDP is 1,000 wizcoins, and there are 2,000 wizcoins in existence.

a. What will be the value of each of the variables that make up the quantity equation?
    
    Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers.

M= wizcoins.
V= wizcoins.
P= wizcoins.

b. Now indicate how the other variables will respond to each of the following scenarios, taking each case separately and assuming that velocity remains constant.

    Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers.

     (i) You increase the money supply to 4,000 and prices increase twofold.

Real GDP = wizcoins.

(ii) Start with the initial values. Real GDP drops to 500 wizcoins and the money supply remains constant.
          

Price level = wizcoins.


     (iii) Start with the initial values. Prices increase threefold because of a sudden scarcity of soda, and you decide to keep the supply of wizcoins constant.
          

Real GDP = wizcoins.
