The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Velocity of Money in the Quantity Theory of Money
The velocity of money (V) in the Quantity Theory of Money is defined as:
V = (P × Q) / M
Where:
- P × Q represents nominal GDP.
- M is the money supply.
Given:
- Nominal GDP (P × Q) = 1000
- Money Supply (M) = 250
Substituting the values:
V = 1000 / 250 = 4

- Suppose an Indian company borrowed 300 dollars from a foreign bank at the beginning of the year and repaid it in dollars along with the agreed interest rate of 12 percent per annum. At the time of borrowing, the exchange rate was Rs. 70 per dollar. Assuming zero inflation rate in both the countries, the real cost of borrowing will be zero if the exchange rate is Rs. per dollar at the time of repayment (rounded off to one decimal place).

- There are two goods 𝑋 and 𝑌 and there are two consumers 𝐴 and 𝐵 in a pure exchange economy. 𝐴 and 𝐵 have Cobb-Douglas utility functions of the form $𝑈_𝐴 = 2𝑋^{0.4} 𝑌^{0.6}$ and $𝑈_𝐵 = 𝑋^{0.3}𝑌^{0.7}$, respectively. Initially, 𝐴 is endowed with 50 units of good 𝑋 and 20 units of good 𝑌. Similarly, 𝐵 is endowed with 50 units of good 𝑋 and 20 units of good 𝑌. If the unit price of good 𝑌 is normalised to 1, then the equilibrium unit price for good 𝑋 is _____. (rounded off to two decimal places).

- Consider a closed economy IS-LM model. The goods and the money market equations are respectively given as follows:
$ 𝑌 = 90 + 0.8𝑌_𝑑 − 100𝑖 + 𝐺$
$𝑀_𝑠 = 750 + 0.2𝑌 − 260𝑖$
where, 𝑌 = national income; $𝑌_𝑑$ = disposable income; 𝑇 = total tax given by 𝑇 = 5 + 0.2𝑌; 𝑖 = interest rate; 𝐺 = government expenditure = 300; $ 𝑀_𝑠$ = constant money supply = 950.
The value of 𝑇 at equilibrium 𝑌 is _______. (rounded off to the nearest integer).- IIT JAM EN - 2024

- An economy produces a consumption good and also has a research sector which produces new ideas. Time is discrete and indexed by 𝑡 = 0, 1, 2, …
The production function for the consumption good is given by
$𝑌_𝑡 = 𝐴_𝑡 𝐿_{𝑦𝑡}$
where, at time 𝑡, $𝐿_{𝑦𝑡}$ is the amount of consumption good produced, 𝐴𝑡 is the stock of existing knowledge, and $𝐿_{𝑦𝑡}$ is the amount of labour devoted to production of consumption good. It is known that $𝐴_0 = 1$.
The production function for new ideas is given by
$ 𝐴_{𝑡+1} − 𝐴_𝑡 = \frac{1}{250} 𝐴_𝑡 $𝐿_{𝑎𝑡}
where 𝐿𝑎𝑡 is the amount of labour devoted to production of new ideas at time 𝑡. Suppose that for all 𝑡, $𝐿_{a𝑡}$ = 10 and $𝐿_{𝑦𝑡}$ = 90. Then, the growth rate of the consumption good ($Y_{𝑡}$) at 𝑡 = 50 is _____ percent (in integer).- IIT JAM EN - 2024
