b. Private saving
c. Public saving

5. The money supply and money demand functions of an economy are as follows:
Money supply: (M/P)s
Money demand: (M/P)d = L (i, Y) = 0.2Y/0.5i
a. What is the velocity of money in this economy?
b. If output is 1000 units, i is 4 percent and money supply M is $1,200, what is the price level P?
c. If money supply increases by 5%, what will be the impact on price level if the outputincreases by 2% and the interest rate remains constant?
d. If money supply increases by 5%, what will be the impact on price level if the output increases by 2%, interest rate by 1%?
