is inelastic and a lower price is charged if the demand for the product is elastic.

Quantity theory of Money assumes that V is constant and exogenous. Inflation= Change in the Money Growth- Change in the GDP Growth Using the above values Inflation= 14% - 5% = 9% Thus; Real Interest Rate = 11%- 9%= 2% Therefore the real interest rate is adjusted for inflation. Q.2 Suppose a country has a money demand function (M/P)d = kY‚ where k is a constant parameter. The money supply grows by 12% per year‚ and real income grows by 4% per year. (a) What is the average inflation rate?
