Answer to Question 1

The equation of exchange can be written as M V = P Q where M = money supply, V = velocity (the speed at which money circulates in the economy), P = the price level of GDP, and Q = the level of real GDP. P Q, therefore, is nominal GDP.

As written, the equation is an accounting identity, and embodies no economic theory. When assumptions are made regarding how variables act or react, the equation of exchange can become the basis for economic theory.
