At the base of the pyramid on the $1 bill you will find “****” in Roman Numerals
On the $100 bill, the clock tower of Independence Hall in Philadelphia is shown with the time set at 4:10. According to the
US Bureau of Engraving and Printing, “there are no records explaining why that particular time was chosen”
The elm tree on back of the $20 bill near the White House represents a real tree in this same location. However, the tree is no longer on the White House grounds because it succumbed to
rain-softened ground in 2006
Most people save $2 bills, thinking they are rare and therefore valuable; they're actually
worth... $2
97% of all paper money contains traces of cocaine
Barter
• Inefficient• Prevents economic growth• Double coincidence of wants
Types of MoneyCommodity money- money itself serves a
purpose (i.e. tulip bulbs, salt, tobacco)
Commodity-Backed money- money’s value is backed by a commodity (gold, silver)
*Fiat money- value based solely on acceptance of value and government backing
Functions of Money
• Medium of Exchange
• Unit of Account (Standard of Value)
• Store of Value
Time Value of MoneyMoney and Interest Rates
• PV=FV/(1+r)n
• FV = PV X (1+r)n

The Banking System
– Three important features of the fractional reserve banking system: • Bank profitability• Banks discretion over the money supply• Exposure to bank runs
The Banking System
• Principles of Bank Management: Profits versus Safety– Greater risk – greater potential profit.– How much risk to take??
– How’s that worked out?

The Banking System
• Bank Regulation– Deposit Insurance• The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures
people’s deposits at banks.– Bank Supervision • Ensures banks take only sensible, defensible risks • Controls the money supply
– Reserve Requirements • Helps control the money supply
Multiplier Effect
• Simple Deposit Multiplier = 1 /Reserve Requirement
• RR = 10%
• Multiplier =
Money Supply Expansion
• Expansion = Multiplier X Excess Reserves
• For each calculate expansion for a $1000 deposit.
How Bankers Keep BooksBanks keep balance sheets
Assets = liabilities + net worth (Equity)Assets include:
ReservesLoans
Liabilities include: Deposits owed to customers.
Money Market
Money Market
• Q of money is fixed at any given point in time
• MS = M1
Money Market
• i = nominal interest rate
• Money Market graphs short term interest rates
Money Market
• Nominal Interest rate is the Federal Funds Rate
• FFR = rate banks charge each other for overnight loans
Money Market• MD= Q of money demanded at various interest
rates
• Q of money demanded = amount of wealth held as money over other assets
Money Market• What is the opportunity cost of holding money?
Money Market• Money v. Bonds
Money Market• Change in “i“ causes movement along the curve
Money Market• Increase in RGDP and Price Level will shift MD to the
right
Fed Tools• Open Market Operations- buy/sell bonds
• Discount Rate- rate Fed charges banks
• Reserve Requirement/Required Reserve Ratio
What should the Fed do?
• During a recessionary period? List 3
• During an inflationary period? List 3
What should the Fed do?
• During a recessionary period? – Expansionary Monetary Policy
• During an expansionary period? – Contractionary Monetary Policy
Agenda• FRQ Review– Bond Basics– Bond prices
• Balance Sheets – Intro and Practice
• HW- Real v. Nominal Article
• Test- Friday???? Or Monday
Just what is a bond?• Issued by a government or business to raise $• Bond purchaser is the lender• Purchaser receives regular interest payments• Interest rate is called coupon rate• Purchaser is paid the principle at maturity• Longer the term, higher the interest• Bonds can be traded before maturity• Privately issued bonds have higher coupon
rates- more risk• US government bonds have “zero” risk
Agenda
• Balance Sheet FRQs
• Money Demand Dissected
• Equation of Exchange Intro
• Sides Game
Stock v. Bonds
• Stock = owner• Bond = lender– Riskier company = higher coupon rate
Trading Existing Bonds
• If interest rates go up?
• If interest rates go down?
How Bankers Keep BooksBanks keep balance sheets
Assets = liabilities + net worth (Equity)Assets include:
ReservesLoans
Liabilities include: Deposits owed to customers.
Balance Sheets- Important Points
1. Deposits and withdraws do not INITIALLY change M1
2. Required Reserves only apply to demand (checkable) deposits
Demand for Money
• Transaction Demand- function?• Asset Demand- function?
Demand for Money
• Financial Assets- stocks, bonds, loans, deposits• Asset Demand- inverse relationship to interest rates
Monetarism
• Money Supply is chief determinant of economic growth
• MV = PQ
MV = PQ
• Equation of exchange
• M= money supply• V= velocity of money• P= price level• Q= quantity of goods and services produced
MV = PQ
• Equation of exchange• V = constant
• Increase in M should outpace increase in Q
• Otherwise- “Too much money chasing too few goods”
MV = PQ
• Otherwise- “Too much money chasing too few goods”
Sides Game
Investment Demand
Investment Demand
• Investment leads to capital formation• This changes future capital stock• This influences growth rate
Investment Demand
• Some Determinants– Expectations– Capacity Utilization– Cost of Capital Goods– Tax Credits
