2-1 Section Review nx




1. What is the difference between money and currency? When are they the
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



nx same? Why might they bedifferent?
nx nx nx n x




ANS: Money is anything generally accepted in exchange for goods & services.
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



Currency is issued by a bank or the government, but currency is not
nx nx nx nx n x nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



necessarily money. They are the same when they are accepted in exchange
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx n x nx nx



for goods and services. Currencies can stop being money if people don’t
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



acceptthem in exchange for goods and services. If a group of people stop
n x nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



using currency to get goods and services but instead use bananas, then the
nx nx nx nx n x nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



bananas are the money.

2. How many prices must a barter economy have if the economy has four
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



goods? What if it has 400goods? Explain why having a money in the
nx nx nx nx nx n x nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



second case is beneficial.
nx nx nx nx




ANS: 4 goods = 6 prices; 400 goods = 79,800 prices. Money allows us to
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



specialize and reduce our searchcost. Money allows us to reduce the
nx nx nx nx n x n x nx nx nx nx nx



number of stated prices we need.

nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx

2-2 Section Review nx




1. Bobby is confused. He states: “Since prisoners are not allowed to smoke in
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



nx prisons any longer, Radford’s examples of cigarettes in POW camps
nx nx n x nx nx nx nx n x n x n x n x



n x no longer applies.” How would you explain to Bobby how
n x n x n x n x n x n x n x n x nx nx

, nx Radford’s story demonstrates the concepts of the criteria of money, as
n x nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx n x nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



nx nx well as the importance ofchanges in the money supply?
n x nx nx n x nx nx nx nx nx




ANS: Any asset that is able to be standardized, divisible, durable and in
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx



demand could be currency, as long as it is a medium of exchange, is
nx nx nx nx nx n x nx n x n x n x n x n x n x n x



a unit of account and has store of value. Cigarettes were money.
