2-1 Section Review |




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


same? Why might they bedifferent?
| | | | |




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


Currency is issued by a bank or the government, but currency is not necessarily
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


money. They are the same when they are accepted in exchange for goods and
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


services. Currencies can stop being money if people don’t acceptthem in
| | | | | | | | | | |


exchange for goods and services. If a group of people stop using currency to
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


get goods and services but instead use bananas, then the bananas are the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


money.

second case is beneficial.
| | | |




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


specialize and reduce our searchcost. Money allows us to reduce the number
| | | | | | | | | | | |


of stated prices we need.

2-2 Section Review |




1. Bobby |is |confused. |He |states: |“Since |prisoners |are |not |allowed |to |smoke |in
prisons any longer, Radford’s examples of cigarettes in POW camps no
| | | | || || | | | | |


longer applies.” How would you explain to Bobby how Radford’s story
| | | | | | | | | || | |

, | demonstrates the concepts of the criteria of money, as well as the
|| || || | | || || || || || | ||


| importance ofchanges in the money supply?
| | | | |



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


could be currency, as long as it is a medium of exchange, is a unit of
