Assume the following about Mushroom Kingdom: there 13719 gold coins in circulation, nominal GDP 86722 gold coins, the central bank of Mushroom Kingdom increases the number of gold coins in circulation by 2.4% each year, and GDP increases by 4.8% annually.

Calculate the velocity for Mushroom Kingdom.

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate at which money circulates through an economy.

The velocity in the  Mushroom Kingdom  , is 6.3213

Explanation:

The equilibrium quantity in the money market is determinated as the product between the money stock (the gold coins in this case)and the money velocity

GDP = demand of money ( as we need money to purchase the goods and services)

money stock =   13,719

velocity = demand / money stock

86,722/13,719 = 6.3213
