Which of the following events will lead to an increase in the demand for money ?

Correct answer: B. An increase in the level of aggregate output

  • A. An increase in the interest rate
  • B. An increase in the level of aggregate output
  • C. A decrease in the price level
  • D. An increase in the supply of money

Explanation

A higher level of aggregate output creates more transactions, so people need larger money balances and demand more money. An increase in the interest rate generally reduces money demand, while an increase in money supply does not itself shift money demand.
