Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

In the Fischer version, money circulated at a fixed rate (velocity) which was completely exogenous and not related to the demand for money. The Cambridge focus was on the quantity theory as a theory of the demand for money. The proportional relationship between the quantity of money and the price level resulted from the fact that the proportion of nominal income people wished to hold in the form of money (k) was constant and the level of real output was fixed by supply conditions.
