Money market mutual funds

Traveler's checks

Large time deposits

4. From the value of M2 you found in question 1, assume that the price level is 100 and real output is valued at $218.5 billion. What is the current velocity of money?
I believe I answered this correctly. If I calculated answer 1. wrong I will update my answer.
Velocity = (P x Y) /M
100 x $218.5 / $5,120 = 4.26
5.Continuing from the previous question. The Federal Reserve is currently using the M2 money supply as a guide to help them in their policy goals. The Federal Reserve wants to promote a healthy economy. The Federal Reserve, in an attempt to improve the economy, injects $500 billion into the economy over the course of the year. During that same year, real output grew to $223.83 billion. Based on this, what is the new rate of inflation?
