1) If expected inflation is constant then a fall in nominal interest rate will reduce real rate of interest because nominal interest rate = inflation rate + real interest rate
Option B is correct.
2) If there is a surplus of money, there would be less demand of money than supply of it. People will buy assets with high interest to reduce the rate of interest. Option B is correct.
If expected inflation is constant, then when the nominal interest rate falls, the real interest rate...

Question 6: Inflation and the quantity theory Suppose velocity is constant, the growth rate of real GDP is 3% per year, and the growth rate of money is 5% per year. Calculate the long-run rate of inflation according to the quantity theory in each of the following cases: (a) What is the rate of inflation in this baseline case? (b) Suppose the growth rate of money rises to 10% per year. (C) Suppose the growth rate of money rises to...
10. The real interest rate is the (x) real rate of return to the lender. (y) real cost of borrowing to the borrower. (z) nominal interest rate plus the rate of inflation. A. (x), (y) and (z) B. (x) and (y) only C. (x) and (z) only D. (y) and (z) only E. (z) only 13. If there is a shortage of loanable funds, then A. neither curve shifts, but the quantity of loanable funds supplied decreases and the quantity...
If the nominal interest rate is the same as the real interest rate, then inflation must be: -higher than the nominal rate of interest. -zero. -lower than the nominal rate of interest. -negative. Assume that $1.6 million is deposited into a bank with a reserve requirement of 5 percent. What is the money supply as a result? If the government decides to raise the reserve requirement to 10 percent, what is the value of the money supply in this case?
If the nominal interest rate is below the equilibrium value, then the quantity demanded of money is ______ than the quantity supplied of money, bond prices will ____, and the nominal interest rate will ____. greater; fall; increase greater; fall; decrease greater; rise; increase less; fall; increase
When the nominal interest rate is____ the equilibrium interest rate, the quanity of money demanded is less than the quanity of money supplied; when the nominal interest rate is______ the equilbrium interest rate, the quanity of money demanded exceeds the quanity of money supplied A) greater than; less than B) greater than; equal to C) less than; greater than D) equal to; greater than
What is the real interest rate if the nominal interest rate is still 8% but inflation is 1%? Does it cost more or less to borrow than when inflation was 3%?

the equilibrium interest rate falls and the equilibrium quantity
of money falls
the equilibrium interest rate falls and the equilibrium quantity
of money stays the same
2.)
The demand for money is...
Question 1 1.7 pts Whenever the expected inflation rate is positive The real interest rate is negative O the real interest rate is greater than the nominal interest rate O The nominal interest rate must be equal to the real interest rate The real interest rate is positive O None of the above
