1.What is the difference between money and currency? When are they the same?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Why might they bedifferent?
ll ll ll l l
ANS: Money is anything generally accepted in exchange for goods & services.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Currency is issued by a bank or the government, but currency is not necessarily
ll ll ll ll l l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
money. They are the same when they are accepted in exchange for goods and
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l l ll ll ll ll ll
services. Currencies can stop being money if people don’t acceptthem in exchange
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l l l ll ll
for goods and services. If a group of people stop using currency to get goods and
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l l ll
services but instead use bananas, then the bananas are the money.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
2. How many prices must a barter economy have if the economy has four goods?
ll ll ll l ll ll l ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll What if it has 400goods? Explain why having a money in the second case is
ll ll ll l l ll l ll l ll ll ll ll l ll
ll beneficial.
ANS: 4 goods = 6 prices; 400 goods = 79,800 prices. Money allows us to specialize
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
and reduce our searchcost. Money allows us to reduce the number of stated
ll ll ll l l l l l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
prices we need.

ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll

ll ll ll ll l l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll

1. Bobby is confused. He states: “Since prisoners are not allowed to smoke in prisons
ll ll ll ll l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
any longer, Radford’s examples of cigarettes in POW camps no longer
ll ll l l ll ll ll ll l l l l l l l l l l l l
applies.” How would you explain to Bobby how Radford’s story
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l ll ll ll l l ll
demonstrates the concepts of the criteria of money, as well as the importance
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l l ll ll l l
, ofchanges in the money supply?
ll ll ll ll ll
ANS: Any asset that is able to be standardized, divisible, durable and in demand
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
could be currency, as long as it is a medium of exchange, is a unit of
ll ll ll ll l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
