Document Summary

Currency is printed by the bureau of engraving at the request of the federal reserve system. Currency is issued by the federal reserve system. Federal reserve notes are accepted because they are legal tender. M1: (money used for day to day transactions. ) The types of money included in m1 are highly liquid. They can easily and rapidly be transformed into cash. Assets that can be turned into cash rapidly and with little loss of value. M1 contains those portions of the money supply that are closely connected to current economic activity. Money included in m1 is related to money being used as a medium of exchange rather than money being used as a store of value. Small time deposits are certificates of deposit less than ,000. M2 is partially used as a store of value. M2 and m3 relate more to money as a store of value rather than as a medium of exchange.

With explanations and work please!

Suppose the Federal Reserve buys 100 of mortgage-backed securities in the open market. What effect will this open market operation have on demand deposits and M1? Show all work.

M1:

What is 'M1'

M1 is a metric for the money supply of a country and includes physical money — both paper and coin — as well as checking accounts, demand deposits and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts. The most liquid portions of the money supply are measured by M1 because it contains currency and assets that can be converted to cash quickly. "Near money" and "near, near money," which fall under M2 and M3, cannot be converted to currency as quickly.

M1= Currency + Demand Deposits

Simple deposit multiplier

Suppose that Marissa finds $5,000 in cash in a mattress that was given to her and decides to deposit all of the money into her cousin's checking account.

(Note: Currency held by the public is counted in the money supply as part of M1.)

Which of the following assumptions is necessary for a change in checkable deposits to be exactly determined by the simple deposit multiplier?

If the previous assumption did not hold, the change in the money supply would be ________ than the amount you indicated, because:

If borrower default rates were not stable, then the money supply expansion process would be disrupted
