1 · Recall · Easy · Monetary Neutrality
According to the principle of monetary neutrality, which of the following variables is influenced by monetary policy in the long run?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. A is correct.
Under the classical dichotomy and monetary neutrality, monetary policy affects only nominal variables (such as the price level and inflation) in the long run, while real variables return to their natural or equilibrium levels.

2 · Application · Medium · Inflation and Taxation
Suppose an asset purchased at the beginning of the year for $100,000 is sold at year-end for $115,000 during a period with an annual inflation rate of 10%. If the statutory capital gains tax rate is 30%, what is the tax paid expressed as an approximate percentage of the asset's total selling price?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. is correct.
The nominal capital gain is $15,000, so a 30% tax yields $4,500 in taxes paid. Relative to the total selling price of $115,000, the effective tax rate is $4,500 / $115,000 ≈ 3.91%, or approximately 4%.

3 · Analysis · Hard · Costs of Inflation
Under which type of tax structure is bracket creep least likely to impose higher real tax burdens during inflation?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. B is correct.
Bracket creep refers to inflation pushing taxpayers into higher tax brackets, raising their average tax rate. In a regressive bracket structure, higher nominal incomes push individuals into lower marginal brackets, preventing an inflation-induced increase in tax burden.
