1) The general monetary model of exchange rates for Swiss Franc (SFr) relative to Australian dollar (A$) is given by:

ESFr/A$ = PSFr/PA$ = [{MSFr/LSFr(rSFr)YSFr} / {MA$/LA$(rA$)YA$}]

For, ESFr/A$ = exchange rate; PSFr/PA$ = relative prices, MSFr = money supply;

LSFr (rSFr)YSFr = real money demand with LSFr(rSFr) = liquidity as a function of interest rate, rSFr, and YSFr = real income.  Similarly MA$ = money supply, with LA$(rA$)YA$ = real money demand with LA$(rA$) being liquidity as a function of interest rate and YA$ = real income.

Suppose an increase in the growth rate in Swiss money supply, MSFr. That is, the growth rate increases.  What happens to the a) rate of inflation; b) interest rates, rSFr; c) exchange rate, ESFr/A$; d) real money balances (i.e., MSFr/PSFr); and e) liquidity (or the amount of money needed for transactions), L( rSFr)?  Explain.
