3. Suppose that in 2005 in Monetaria the money supply is 10,000 and the nominal GDP is 20,000.

A) Find the velocity of circulation V for 2005.

B) In 2018 the money supply was 18,850. The real GDP for 2018 was 29,370 in 2005 dollars. Find the average growth rate of the money supply and the average growth rate of real GDP. (Hint: what is the relationship between real and nominal GDP for the base year?)

C) Assuming that the velocity of circulation has stayed constant from 2005 to 2018, what was the inflation rate between those years?

D) Suppose that the real interest rate in Monetaria has been stable at 4% (0.04 as a fraction.) What was the nominal interest rate over that time frame?
