Expert Solution

An increase in the money supply in the economy will lead to a fall in the interest rate, resulting in an increase in investments in the economy since interest rate and investments are inversely related.

Since investment (I) is a component of Aggregate Demand and hence the GDP, it leads to a rightward shift in the AD curve.

Thus, an increase in the money supply results in an equal increase in nominal output, or Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Ans. (C)
