The growth rate of real GDP is 6.4% The growth rate of nominal GDP is 7.8% The nominal interest rate is 4.2% The real interest rate is 2.8% The money supply (M2) is $11,438(in billions) Use the information given above to calculate the inflation rate. According to the quantity theory of money, if in a year's time, real GDP grew from $10 trillion to $10.2 trillion, and nominal GDP for the same time period grew from $10 trillion to $10.5 trillion, what is the growth rate of money supply? And the inflation rate?
