| Velocity of Money | M * V = P * Y where M is the money supply, V is the velocity, P is the price level, and Y is the quantity of output. P * Y, the price level multiplied by the quantity of output, gives the nominal GDP. This equation can be rearranged as V = (nominal GDP) / M. It can also be converted into a percentage change formula as (percent change in the money supply) + (percent change in velocity) = (percent change in the price level) + (percent change in output). |
| Compound Interest | First, calculate the value of the loan, by adding one to the interest rate, raising it to the number of years for the loan, and multiplying it by the loan amount. Then, to calculate the amount of interest, simply subtract the original loan amount from the total due. |
| Real Interest Rate | The real interest rate is equal to the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. |
