Question

Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2.

a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD).

Answer 1

Option A is M2

Option B is M1

Option C is M2

Step-by-step explanation:

The above classifications speak to various categories of money supply.

M1 refers to the supply of money that is composed of physical currency such as notes, coins, demand deposits other checkable deposits, etc.

Simply put, M1 would include forms of money that are liquid or easy to convert into cash.

M2 and M3 which are also known as "near money" and "near, near money," are money types which cannot be converted to currency as quickly as M1.

Another example of M2 is Money Market Mutual Funds. M1 is often included when calculating for M2.

Cheers!

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be noted that M1 will be derived as Currency plus the Travelers check while M2 will be M1 plus the certificate of deposit plus the money market account.

a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.

It should be noted that money in a savings account will have to be included in M2.

b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.

This fits into the description of both M1 and M2 forms of money.

c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD)

The certificate of deposit is included in the M2.
