Question 20

According to the classical Quantity Theory of Money, the equation of exchange can be expressed in percentage growth terms as:

%ΔM+%ΔV≈%ΔP+%ΔY \% \Delta M + \% \Delta V \approx \% \Delta P + \% \Delta Y %ΔM+%ΔV≈%ΔP+%ΔY

In a given financial year, a central bank increases the broad money supply (MMM) by 7.5%. Over the same period, a shift in liquidity preference causes the velocity of circulation (VVV) to decrease by 1.5%, while real national output (YYY) increases by 2.0%.

What is the resulting annual rate of inflation (%ΔP\% \Delta P%ΔP) predicted by this model?
