Suppose the growth rate of the money supply is 3 percent, the growth rate of velocity is 4 percent, and the growth rate of real aggregate output is 2 percent. According to the equation of exchange, the inflation rate would be _____ percent
Select one:
a. 7
b. 6
c. 5
d. 4
e. 3
Ans.Correct Option is c. 5%
M (growth in money supply ) = 3%

Expected Inflation Rate = M + V - Y
= 3% + 4% - 2% = 5%
