c. $210 million; $280 million.
d. $250 million; $270 million.

Answer 1

correct option is a. $10 million; $280 million

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

cash = $4 million

check able deposits = $6 million

savings deposits = $200 million

time deposits = $40 million

mutual fund deposits = $30 million

to find out

M1 money supply and M2 money supply

solution

we get here M1 that is

M1 = Cash + check able deposits ...........1

put here value

M1 = $4 + $6

M1 = $10 million

and

M2 will be here as

M2 = M1 + saving deposits + time deposits + mutual fund deposits ...............2

put here value

M2= $10 + $200 + $40 + $30

M2 = $280 million

so correct option is a. $10 million; $280 million
