Which participants in financial markets are considered deficit units?
x x x x x x x x
A) Households that save x x
B) Businesses issuing bonds x x
C) Commercial banks accepting deposits x x x
D) Mutual funds pooling investors’ funds
x x x x
Answer: B) Businesses issuing bonds
x x x x
Rationale: Deficit units are those who spend more than they save and thus require external
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
financing. Businesses issuing bonds are borrowing from surplus units, making them deficit units.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
Households and mutual funds typically act as surplus units by supplying funds, while banks act as
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
intermediaries.
x

x x x x x x x x
C) A hedge fund trades derivatives on existing stock
x x x x x x x
D) A bank resells mortgage-backed securities
x x x x
Answer: B) A company issues new bonds for the first time
x x x x x x x x x x
Rationale: The primary market deals with newly issued securities directly from the issuer to
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
investors. All other choices describe secondary market or derivative transactions.
x x x x x x x x x x
Q3.

x x x x x x x
A) Eliminate investment risk x x
B) Facilitate the flow of funds from surplus units to deficit units
x x x x x x x x x x
C) Guarantee high returns for all investors x x x x x
D) Regulate interest rates and monetary supply
x x x x x
Answer: B) Facilitate the flow of funds from surplus units to deficit units
x x x x x x x x x x x x
Rationale: The key role of financial markets is channeling funds from those with extra savings
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
(surplus units) to those needing capital (deficit units). Risk elimination and guaranteed returns are
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
impossible; monetary policy is handled by central banks, not markets themselves.
x x x x x x x x x x x

Rationale: Money markets are designed for short-term, highly liquid instruments like T-bills, CDs,
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
and commercial paper. Long-term securities are traded in capital markets.

D) They are always more liquid than money market securities.
x x x x x x x x
Answer: C) They are used to finance long-term investments like buildings and equipment.
x x x x x x x x x x x x
Rationale: Capital market instruments include bonds, stocks, and mortgages that fund long-term
x x x x x x x x x x x x
projects. They generally carry higher risk and lower liquidity compared to money market securities.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
SEC to regulate secondary market activities and prevent fraud.
