Answer: $2240

Step-by-step explanation:

The money supply simply refers to the total volume of money that is held by the public at a certain point in time. The value of M1 in this country will be calculated thus:

= Federal Reserve Notes in circulation + Coins in circulation + Checkable deposit

= $700 + $40 + $1500

= $2240

Therefore, M1 is $2240
