The following graph shows the money market in a hypothetical economy. The central bank in this economy is called the Fed. Assume that the Fed xes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level increases from 90 to 105. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of an increase in the overall price level on the market for money. 12 - I Money Supply 0 10 Money Demand 7; |:l I: a) a -- 2 i Money Supply Lu 5 e I- 0 Lu E l- 4 " Z 2 _ o : o 20 40 so so 100 120 MONEY (Billions of dollars) After the increase in the price level, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 6% will be V than the quantity of money supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. People will try to V their money holdings.

The following graph shows the economy's aggregate demand curve. Show the impact of the increase in the price level by moving the point along the curve or shifting the curve.
