2-1 Section Review v




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




Why might they bedifferent?
v v v v




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




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




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




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




for goods and services. If a group of people stop using currency to get goods and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




services but instead use bananas, then the bananas are the money.
v v v v v v v v v v v




2.How many prices must a barter economy have if the economy has four goods?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




What if it has 400goods? Explain why having a money in the second case is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




beneficial.
v




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




and reduce our searchcost. Money allows us to reduce the number of stated prices
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




we need.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v

v v v v v v v v v v v v

2-2 Section Review v




1. Bobby is confused. He states: ―Since prisoners are not allowed to smoke in prisons any
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




longer, Radford’s examples of cigarettes in POW camps no longer applies.‖

vHow would you explain to Bobby how Radford’s story demonstrates the
v v v v v v vv v vv vv v




concepts of the criteria of money, as well as the importance ofchanges in the money

v




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 account and has
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




store of value. Cigarettes were money.
