The assumption of constant velocity in the quantity equation is the equivalent of the assumption of a constant: A. short-run aggregate supply curve. B. long-run aggregate supply curve. C. price level in the short run. D. demand for real balances per unit of output.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Irving Fisher gave the equation of quantity theory of money. This equation is thus also called the Fisher's equation. It can be stated as MV=PT.

Here, M is the money supply, V is the velocity of money circulation, P represents the price level, and T is the volume of transactions. V and T are assumed to be constant. On the basis of this assumption, we can say that there is a direct relationship between money supply and price level. Ā 

The velocity of circulation is assumed to be constant, this assumption is equivalent to constant demand for real balances per unit. Velocity shows the number of times a currency changes hands. Constant velocity means money is not changing hands, people are holding money, or in other words, demand for real balances is constant.
