Nominal GDP = Price × Quantity (sum of all final goods and services produced in a given year without adjusting for inflation).
New cards
5
Inflation Rate Calculations
Inflation Rate = [(CPI in current year - CPI in previous year) / CPI in previous year] × 100%.
New cards
6
Quantity Theory of Money
MV = PQ, where M = Money supply, V = Velocity of money, P = Price level, and Q = Output (Real GDP). It explains the relationship between money supply and inflation.
New cards

Costs of Inflation
The costs of inflation include menu costs (cost of changing prices), shoe leather costs (extra time spent managing cash), and loss of purchasing power.

Present Value Formula
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n, where PV = Present Value, FV = Future Value, r = interest rate, and n = number of periods.
New cards

Credit and Interest Rate
Credit is the ability to borrow money, and the interest rate is the cost of borrowing or the return on savings.
