economy produces only the following goods and
services; shoes, hamburgers, shirts and cotton.
Further, assume that all of the cotton is used in the
production of shirts.
Use the information in the following table to calculate Nominal Gross Domestic
Product ( NGDP) for 2015.

with a higher price level and a higher output.

point D, with a higher price level and a lower output.

with a lower price level and the same output.
8. Excess Reserves

account; By how much will the total money supply
increase as a result when the required reserve rate is
0.10?
13.The Federal Reserve cannot affect Real GDP directly,

policy target?

not working
d. Shows the percentage of the labor force that is
considered unemployed.
16.When the Federal Reserve increases the discount

the interest rate

interest rate

the interest rate
d. An increase in the money supply and an increase in
the interest rate
