    Q.) You are given the following data on Country A’s economy in 2001 and 2011:
    2001 2011
    Money supply 400 600
    Real GDP 100 150
    Price level 10 ?

    According to the quantity theory of money what would be the value of the price level in
    2011?
    A. 20
    B. 15
    C. 10
    D. Cannot be calculated

    The answer is D.
    But why can't we calculate the Velocity of circulation given data from 2001 and use that V in 2011,since V is fixed in the long run?
