Correct Answer : C: Monetary policy - correct answer-Reason : The Federal Reserve m t m t m t m t m t m t m m t t m t m t m t m t m t
uses monetary policy to regulate the nation's money supply. Monetary policy is directed
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
at expanding or contracting the supply of money and credit in the U.S. economy. In
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
theory, if there is too little money in circulation, consumers will spend less, interest rates
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
will be high, and unemployment will rise. In this situation, the Fed can deliberately
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t t
m
increase the amount of money in circulation, leading to lower interest rates, increases in
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
consumer spending, and higher employment rates. If there is too much money in
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t t

circulation, however, prices rise and the value of the dollar decreases (inflation)

protection against anyone else being able to find out what the PIN is? (Incorrect)
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
Correct Answer : B: Use a random selection of letters and numbers - correct answer- m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m m t t m t
Reason : A PIN (personal identification number) is a secret code that protects the privacy m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
of your accounts and allows only you to access them. The numbers should not be
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
composed of numbers easily associated with the person choosing the PIN such as birth
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
date, telephone number, or street number address. It should be a random series of
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
numbers and letters that would be hard for unauthorized users to guess. Also, never

Correct Answer : C: Cash card - correct answer-Reason : Consumers purchase cash m t m t m t m t m t m t m m t t m t m t m t m t m t
cards for a specific amount of money. The amount paid is stored in the card's memory,
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
and the card can be used to pay for goods or services specific to a particular store or
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
action until the amount stored, or "loaded" on the card, has been spent. The type of cash
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
card Nora used is called a phone card. Some retail chain stores sell cash cards which
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
can be used to pay for their products. Cash cards are either disposable or re-loadable.
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
Disposable cash cards cannot be replenished (loaded again). With re-loadable cash
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t
cards, the consumer can return to the merchant and pay to have the balance on the card
m t m t m t m t m t m t m t m t t

m m t m t m t
replenished.
